Putin Mocks Effete Effeminate Rent-Boy-Associate Keir Starmer

Putin has been sending his illegal sanctioned "Shadow Fleet" oil tankers through England's bathtub -- or its former bathtub, as you'll see -- the English Channel.

Keir Starmer told Putin to stop using the Channel for the illegal transport of sanctioned oil or he'd seize the shadow ships. And you know that when Keir Starmer acts tough, people take notice.

So Putin sent his own warships into the Channel to protect the ships.

England used to own the English Channel. Owning the English Channel protected it from invasion many times, from the French during the 100 Years War though World War II. Operation Sea Lion, I think Hitler called the plan to invade England, cancelled because the Nazis realized any attempt to reach English shores would result in disaster.

And now? Not only does England no longer "own the seas," it can't even patrol its own Channel.

Russian frigate escorts sanctioned tankers through British waters despite PM's vow to seize vessels

Vladimir Putin has openly defied Sir Keir Starmer's threat to seize sanctioned Russian vessels by sending a warship to escort them through the Channel.

The Admiral Grigorovich, a Black Sea fleet frigate, accompanied a pair of shadow fleet ships on Wednesday while a British naval vessel followed behind.

Positioned on the Royal Charlotte, a boat almost 10 miles from Dover, The Telegraph observed Putin's flotilla cruising past the south coast while RFA Tideforce, a Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker, trailed in their wake.

Last month, Sir Keir gave special forces the authority to capture the armada of rusted ships illegally ferrying oil to support Russia's war in Ukraine, saying he would hit the shadow fleet "even harder" if they sailed through British waters. However, Britain is yet to seize a single Russian vessel.

The Prime Minister has repeatedly faced criticism regarding the state of the Royal Navy and Britain's Armed Forces. After an Iranian-made drone hit RAF Akrotiri, HMS Dragon, Britain's only deployable destroyer, was sent to the Middle East, but took three weeks to arrive and has already had to return to port as it suffers water supply issues.

They have one (1) deployable destroyer, which is a light-middleweight warship. This should be a class of warship England can deploy dozens of.

In a speech on Saturday, Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, is expected to pile further pressure on Sir Keir, urging him to publish the long-delayed defence investment plan. She will state that there is "no plan for rearming Britain".

Donald Trump, the US president, has previously described the Navy's two aircraft carriers as "toys" while his defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, mocked Britain's "big, bad Royal Navy".

...

Admiral Grigorovich -- a 3,620-ton frigate armed with anti-ship, cruise and surface-to-air missiles -- sailed between the two 600ft tankers Universal and Enigma shortly after 9am on Wednesday as they headed west toward Plymouth.

Universal reportedly departed from the Russian port of Vysotsk on Jan 18.

The Russian-flagged tanker is believed to be on a mission to deliver crude oil to bolster the Kremlin's coffers, which are straining to fund Putin's war machine.

In September, she was outlawed in British waters for attempting to "destabilise Ukraine or undermine or threaten" Kyiv by exporting oil from Russia to fund its invasion.

England is a tiny gay poodle with a big bark and big ideas about how the world should be run with absolutely no capacity to actually act. Their idea of "acting" is to whine at the US into doing its bidding.

No joke -- Starmer can barely be faulted for not doing anything about Russian warships skirting past the white cliffs of Dover because the insignificant island nation has practically no working navy at all.

This week is the 44th anniversary of the Falklands War between Great Britain and Argentina. This week, the British Navy is struggling to put a single destroyer to sea to protect its assets. https://thetimes.com/uk/defence/art

Argentina is now saying it wants the Falklands back...

...After years of neglect, Britain appears to have abandoned its naval power.

Starmer and the UK just allowed 2 Shadow Fleet tankers and a Russian frigate to sail right by the UK in the English Channel and didn't lift a finger to stop them, even though Starmer said weeks ago that the UK would start seizing Shadow Fleet tankers. If Britain can't even defend the English Channel these days, do you honestly think it can defend the Falkland Islands? This is what happens when you let your Navy and armed forces deteriorate over the years, deterrence fails and you become an impotent faded power unable to project power anywhere on the globe.

I linked that to emphasize: the vaunted British Navy no longer controls the English Channel.

Which had been its birthright and highest priority for 500 years.

The Royal Navy is no longer fit for service in NATO.

In August 2022, HMS Prince of Wales sailed out of Portsmouth to cross the Atlantic for joint exercises with the US Navy. She was the pride of the modern Royal Navy. A four-billion-pound aircraft carrier. The flagship of Global Britain.

She made it about 20 miles.

Then the propeller shaft coupling sheared & one of only two carriers in the entire British fleet limped back to port and spent the better part of a year in dry dock while American carriers did the work Britain had promised to do.

That's the Royal Navy in 2026. It's a museum with a TickTock account.

I've called the Canadian Navy a glorified Coast Guard but the UK can't even keep migrant boats off its shores.

Nelson had over 100 ships of the line at Trafalgar. The fleet that fought WW2 had over 900 warships.

...

Today the Royal Navy has roughly 70 commissioned vessels. Maybe 15 of them are meaningful surface combatants.

I saw an item claiming that only five of the vaunted British surface fleet is seaworthy.

It sounds marginally ok but any given day, a significant percentage are in dry dock, undermanned, or waiting for spare parts.

And China launches more tonnage in a quarter than the Royal Navy possesses in total.

You do not rule the waves. You do not rule the Channel. You rule a Wikipedia.
And it gets worse.

...

All six Type 45 destroyers, the backbone of Britain's air defense fleet, had to be pulled back for emergency refits because their engines lose power in warm water. Read that again.

They were practically useless in the Red Sea because they don't have enough missiles and you didn't buy the anti-air computers for their deck guns.

Your last few nuclear submarine launches went plop and instead of trying again or calling the American missile manufacturer to court... you shrugged.

This is the nuclear deterrent that is supposed to be the foundation of British sovereignty, the reason Britain sits at the UN Security Council, the last credible claim to great power status. It fell in the water next to the boat.

Your ancestors circumnavigated the globe in wooden ships powered by rope and canvas. You built a billion-pound destroyer that overheats off Bahrain.

Your frigates are too few to cover your own approaches. When Russian submarines transit the English Channel, the French Navy often shadows them because the Royal Navy cannot respond in time. The French. In your Channel. Protecting you.

Nelson ain't spinning in his tomb. He's in the Atlantic laughing at you.

Americans patrol the Gulf you depend on for energy. Americans keep Taiwan's chips flowing to your factories. Americans are the reason the Houthis have not fully closed the Red Sea to British-flagged shipping.

We are happy to help until now. Until Starmer tried selling off our only base in the Indian Oceans then refused to let us land planes.

OUR OWN BASE

Yes he relented but only under pressure.

We will help protect your interests but on one condition:

DO NOTHING

No selling bases
No overflight refusals
No more dock denials in Gibraltar
No crazy ROE debates
No politicians demeaning us in debates
No threating Elon Musk

And no more 134 Royal Navy Admirals in cosplaying aboard your 15 broken warships.

Tell them to hang up their uniforms and go home.

OR STAND UP, make the king overthrow parliament & fund a proper navy

Fight for your birthright or F*ck off.

Your choice.

Related: In case you missed it, Queer Starmer, who has a strangely intense emotional entanglement with Ukranian gay male models he supposedly doesn't know, announced that "We" achieved a cease-fire with Iran.

We? Who the fuck are you?
