The UK is blaming Russia for its economy collapsing.
RT:
The UK economy is sinking into a recession due to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, Britain’s finance minister Jeremy Hunt claimed in an interview with the Sunday Times newspaper.
“Stability is what has been missing – mainly thanks to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. This is a ‘made in Russia’ recession and we need to restore that stability as the first step to growth,” Hunt said.
The cabinet minister believes a recession is now unavoidable, after the economy contracted by 0.2% in the third quarter, with a further shrinking expected due to inflation. Recession is traditionally defined as two consecutive quarters of GDP decline. Last week the Bank of England predicted that the UK could be stuck in a recession for two years.
Hunt is not alone in blaming Russia for global and local crises. Russian President Vladimir Putin, commenting earlier on similar statements voiced by Washington, said Western countries are using the Russia-Ukraine conflict as a “lifeline” that allows them to “blame their own miscalculations on others, in this case Russia,” but that Moscow has “absolutely nothing to do with it.”
These people decided to lockdown their economy for two years over a fake pandemic and then decided to agitate a war against Russia. They sanctioned Europe’s most important energy supplier over alleged Ukrainian democracy.
This entire situation was self-inflicted. Russia had nothing to do with their economic problems. They were forced to defend their country from endless agitations by the illegitimate Jew regime in the Ukraine.
The UK could have easily chosen to stay out of this, but they decided to go all-in on supporting the Ukraine and the results have been predictable to say the least. If the people running the British government actually had the interests of their people in mind, they would reverse support for the Ukrainian regime and end all the sanctions on Russia. Instead, they are continuing them while blaming Russia for all the misery they caused through their own policies. It’s utterly stupid.
