The MoD insists YouTube take it down, calling it Russian propaganda —and “a substantial risk to UK National security”๐งต pic.twitter.com/yPyRBQoiSK
Right out the gate, Wallace promises new anti-aircraft systems and takes a not-so-subtle shot at France & Germany. Then the UK Defence Sec. seems genuinely unsure whether or not the ‘Ukrainian Prime Minister’ realizes a No-Fly Zone would likely do the regime more harm than good: pic.twitter.com/a9i5mt34b0

UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace: “We are not going to directly attack Russian ships or airplanes… at this stage” though it’s a “difficult thing for me to say.” However, he promises more weapons & to let Ukraine regime help decide how close British warships buzz the Russian navy pic.twitter.com/SFH9o2pDsw

“We have always wanted you to join NATO, which is why our training teams were there… over the last five years” UK Defence Minister tells pretend Ukrainian Prime Minister. He blames other NATO nations for failure to secure Ukraine’s membership pic.twitter.com/FVwrUIO50M

INSANE: Phony Ukraine PM asks for help with nuclear weapons & actual British Defence Secretary replies UK “will support Ukraine” if they “want to explore new weapons.”

Apparently there were even wilder segments removed due to potential impact on “the national security of the UK” pic.twitter.com/octcS8fuAa
British Defence Secretary advises a man he incorrectly believes to be the Ukrainian Prime Minister to “just be very careful” about efforts to acquire nuclear weapons.

As a signatory to Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the UK “can’t be seen to be” involved.
In other words: CYA. pic.twitter.com/1k2dWH24IF
Wallace almost loses his cool when he senses he’s being blamed for foreign mercenaries fleeing Ukraine on arrival. After a brief lecture on the concept of a “free press,” the UK Defense Secretary labels British field medic and 6-year veteran Jake Priday an “idiot” and a “failure” pic.twitter.com/OrQAc58sdV

The only time the British Defense Secretary actually seems to verge on a moment of clarity is when the pair of pranksters tries to coach him into chanting “Slava Vovan and Lexus.” Even then it’s not enough! pic.twitter.com/VFWQBFkPhp

Missed this earlier—naturally UK would prefer to use Ukrainians as cannon fodder “at this stage.” But will they to fight Russia themselves at “the next stage?” Wallace seems unwilling to go beyond current deployments in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania & Ukraine “orbital training team” https://t.co/UM3edHI8bH pic.twitter.com/UO2b8THTVN

Pranksters request “newer NLAW anti-tank weapons,” saying those previously delivered by the UK “often fail.” Wallace tells fake Ukraine PM they’ve already sent 4,000+ (“We’re running out of our own!”) and shifts blame to “the Ukrainian General Staff” for logistical bottlenecks. pic.twitter.com/2ZbTHP8Rth

NLAWs a central focus of the British MoD takedown demand, which incidentally reads like a mob boss ultimatum:

- demanding YouTube “remove (or at least block) access to the video”

“The episode raises serious questions about the security & defence failings that led to pranksters getting through to one of the UK’s most senior ministers & managing to get him to talk about a highly sensitive military & diplomatic situation in Ukraine”๐คกhttps://t.co/mhSGicMQs0

It wasn’t just Ben Wallace—Home Secretary Priti Patel reportedly fell for it too & an investigation has been announced. Hopefully it goes better than the investigation they did 4 years ago after the same exact guys called Boris Johnson pretending to be the Armenian Prime Minister pic.twitter.com/7hiCS4ZeHf

Nice of the former Ukrainian president to acknowledge the NATOization of his country. How would the US like Russian military training centers on its southern border? https://t.co/q6NJuHZatn

That's what I keep saying. The United States would react the same as Russia if Russia or China (both US nemesis) allied with Mexico or Canada and planned to put NUCLEAR MISSILES at our border or station their troops at our border. (emphasis mine)
Depends on your reason for war. In this case the Genocidal Slaughter of the People in Donbass for 8 years was a pretty good reason. The Potential Slaughter of Millions of Russians if Zelensky got his Nuclear weapons was also a pretty fair call for a war but it's an Operation.
