UK Defense Secretary: “Russia Is Ready To Kill Us By The Thousands”<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Brits woke up to read the following brazenly fearmongering headline in their daily paper today: “‘Russia is ready to kill us by the thousands’: Defence Secretary warns that Moscow could cause mass casualties by crippling crucial energy supplies.”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently installed in office, UK Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson is already beating the drums of a new Cold War while seeking to expand Britain’s defense budget, claiming a new ‘Russian invasion’ of sorts is coming. In an interview<\/a> with The Telegraph\u00a0<\/em>Williamson warned that Russia is actively seeking to bring about Britain’s economic collapse by attacking its infrastructure which he said will cause\u00a0\u201cthousands and thousands and thousands of deaths\u201d.<\/strong> Meanwhile, Russian officials were quick to mock the scenario as\u00a0“worthy of a Monty Python sketch”.<\/p>\n

Tory Defence Secretary Williamson, considered by many to be a possible successor<\/a> to Prime Minister Theresa May described the ‘Russian threat’ as more subtle than an outright conventional military invasion, saying “The plan for the Russians won\u2019t be for landing craft to appear in the South Bay in Scarborough, and off Brighton Beach.” Instead, he explained “the real threat” as term of a cyber and electronic warfare doomsday scenario of “creating total chaos within the country.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

He told The Telegraph<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n

“What they [Russians] are looking at doing is they are going to be thinking \u2018How can we just cause so much pain to Britain?’<\/strong>. Damage its economy, rip its infrastructure apart, actually cause thousands and thousands and thousands of deaths, but actually have an element of creating total chaos within the country.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Williamson’s evidence for such sensational claims of an impending attack that would bring down nearly overnight civilizational collapse?<\/p>\n
