from The Black Spy Podcast · host Carlton King

Burnham: Playing Russian Roulette With Your Life! (Part 1) Black Spy Podcast number 261 Season 26, Episode 0009 In this week's Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King argues that Prime Minister Andy Burnham has not shifted the UK's Ukraine War policy vis-à-vis Russia after succeeding Keir Starmer, but has instead increased military support for Ukraine via long range drone and missile strikes into Russia cities. Carlton contends that President Putin has explicitly warned that states enabling long-range strikes into Russia towns and cities will be regarded as participants and will be responded to accordingly. The podcast questions whether the UK's involvement, including IRS to target and direct advanced long range weapons makes Britain an active participant in those operations. Carlton also argues that the British government has not sufficiently prepared the country for the potential consequences of this support to Ukraine, noting the UK's limited ability to defend against advanced Russian missile threats. Drawing on his intelligence and national security background, King invites listeners to examine the evidence and consider whether the UK is accepting strategic risks with serious potential implications for British citizens. Finally, he invites listeners to hear the thoughts of other prominent Britons with intelligence and military backgrounds on the subject, as well as US and other western experts. So listen now to The Black Spy Podcast to be educted in a manner that the mainstream media is failing to do regarding this subject.
