A report released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation (jointly with Belarus) has unjustly characterised the UK as having social problems of such depth that we could not possibly continue as a country on this earth.
But although societal inconsistencies occur here and there, to our shame, the lack of responsiveness Russia perceives in our case is simply a shortfall in the efficiency that it achieves in its own – that being rule by crackdowns, overall control, and having no abiding purpose.
The monkey ropes used by Moscows elite to look more powerful, and to compete alongside others to use national resources to no effect, are not reflected here in our institutions or our way of life. Aside from equal rights, black as well as white have to wait their turn as we recover from crimewaves inconsistent with values of our religion or politics.
It’s also a point to raise that Russia might know of these issues because it is the author of so many of them. They regularly interfere where there are gaps to create problems that it can broadcast elsewhere. This is tin hat diplomacy, and a hallmark of a failing Eurasian superstate.
