Ok that is really useful context, thank you

What’s Ukraine got to do with the UK though?

Obvs I’m against war in principle, but why are we even involved in something several thousand miles away that doesn’t border us or even the Commonwealth?

Links, please

Couldn’t we, the UK, just like… stop interfering with Russia? Call a truce of some sort? FWIW I admit I’m completely ignorant as to what’s going on, other than we’re supplying arms to Ukraine. Is it all about that?

It used to be better. But yeah, it feels very rare they oppose the state line. The book Newspeak cites a ton of very egregious lies and half-truths given in it
