The Kremlin is blaming Liz for the Nuclear escalation. I actively do not read anything linked to her so I have either missed what caused the offense or they are picking on her because she must be internationally regarded as an idiot
She was on the news saying that the Russians might use “serious means” to win the war, widely interpreted as “they might use nuclear weapons”.
However she did say that if they did that there would be very serious consequences including being tried for war crimes. I imagine the Russians must be absolutely quaking in their boots at the possibility of appearing in The Hague in about 10 years time while half of Eastern Europe is still a smoldering crater.
However it was said in the tone of voice that I imagine she got from toy soldier Mark Francois while he was frantically fwapping away at the thought of nuclear armageddon – an element of undisguised glee as she called for greatly increased defence spending and suggested that UK citizens could go and volunteer in Ukraine (a comment immediately rebutted by the Defence Minister Ben Wallace).
