The British Foreign Secretary told the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry about the need to withdraw Russian armed forces from the Ukrainian border. Sergei Lavrov replied that the military is on the territory of his country. Liz Truss repeated that they should be withdrawn. To this, the Russian minister again objected that the military did not violate anything, since they had the right to conduct any maneuvers on the territory of the Russian Federation.
After that, he himself addressed a question to his British colleague: “Do you recognize the sovereignty of Russia over the Rostov and Voronezh regions?”
“Great Britain will never recognize Russian sovereignty over these regions,” the Foreign Minister replied after a short pause.
British Ambassador to the Russian Federation Deborah Bonnert had to intervene in the situation, who delicately explained to Mrs. Truss that we were really talking about Russian regions.

No, what you're looking at here is a failkid. Imperial Britain was ruthless and clever (and awful, obviously), and after the 1st World War it went on a downward spiral of failchildren, to the point where fucking Liz Truss is a cabinet minister. British politics is nothing but failkids, by virtue of them being British politicians.
I thought of something shitty relating to that old boomer meme: difficult times makes strong imperialists, strong imperialists make good times, good times makes fail kids, fail kids makes difficult times.

it wasnt necessarily difficult times, but I think there was more of a "meritocracy" in the old days. Idk at least in politics I dont think mediocrity was as rewarded as it is now
recursive failkids is the art-piece I never knew I wanted.
