		cf https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tankie#Noun > A supporter of policies and actions by the Soviet Union, China, Cuba or other authoritarian socialist governments. But the meaning seems to have drifted to (Western) supporters of the current Russian regime.

Ukraine attacked the Kremlin with drones and may have attacked Putin’s personal residence last year (both sides say contradictory things, both sides have every incentive to lie). UK is one of the biggest Ukraine boosters. To pretend there’s not a through line here is absurd

You know what? I’ll accept it. Europe should directly assist Ukraine in targeting Kremlin leadership. If there really is a through line, might as well exploit it.

Russia is at war with Ukraine. Is Russia officially at war with the UK? If so, say it openly, so that we stop dancing around and send troops directly.

		> send troops directly Not even needed. Just send jets to bomb e.g. the Kerch bridge. And start aggressively detaining the shadow fleet.
