Mad Vlad Putin is ‘coming for us’ and we ‘have to be ready for the inevitable’
Russian President Vladimir Putin is coming for all of us, a former UK government officials has worryingly declared.
Ex-Defence Secretary Ben Wallace made the declaration in The Telegraph, when discussing the future for Britain in the eyes of the war mad despot. And although Putin has never directly declared war on the UK, he is known to count it as one of his most loathed enemies, due to its support for Ukraine.
And warning of the potential worrying escalation the Russian leader could have in mind for the UK, Wallace claimed that the future is not looking good for us.

He said, explaining how Putin blames Britain for a lot of Russia ‘s ills, he said: “These men at the top of Russia see themselves as rewriting history, by correcting the humiliation they felt at the end of the Cold War and settling scores for hundreds of years.
“While Russia is doing a very good job of, yet again, humiliating itself through its own actions, we should realise that in Putin’s version of history it is Britain, not the US, which is at the heart of Russia’s failures.

“In Putin’s warped world-view, we were behind the Crimean War and defeat of the Czars, we were behind the rise of Hitler, we were behind the counter-revolution and our espionage was behind the end of the Soviet Union. Britain is in Putin’s crosshairs.
“One of the most senior members of the Russian Siloviki recently commented: ‘We know Britain is behind the invasion of Kursk’ – we weren’t. “Make no mistake, Putin is coming for us. We must be prepared for the inevitable.”
Before being booted from his government role, Wallace constantly asked for the UK’s defence spending to be increased to 2.5% – something which ex-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak agreed to just a few months before losing his job.
