Why are we so bellicose when it comes to Russia? It seems that we’re willing to do things that even the Americans don’t feel comfortable with. And it’s cross party too. Is it blowback from the Skripal poisonings? 
 

Either way, I’m not sure the British public is going to be too enthusiastic about us firing missiles into Russia but I suppose it’s ‘morally the right thing to do’. 

And Markov 

 

And Litvinenko

 

And Gorbuntsov

 

And Perepilichnyy

 

And Berezovsky

 

Basically, fvck Russia. They've been a rogue nation for so long they need a seriously sound slapping.

They've been using Challenger 2's in the Kursk offensive (and remember us even providing heavy armour was a previous "red line") and slamming Storm Shadow into Navy HQ in Sevastopol, so not really sure letting them hit miliary targets in Russia is any worse than what's been happening already.  I'd hope the plan is to strike air fields, fuel storage etc. rather than dropping cruise miles onto Vlad during his morning ablutions.  Can't see the former of those being any more escalatory than what's happening already, the latter would, obviously, be daft.

 

*Edit*  The other thought could be if there's a risk of cruise missiles striking more valuable targets in the mainland, it could potentially require movement of air defence closer to Moscow and make targets in the occupied territories easier to destroy.

I don’t think Storm Shadow can get anywhere near Moscow in terms of range. Its only 195 miles I read.
