Britain Calls for Continued Pressure While US Has Already Loosened Its Belt
British PM Starmer urges allies to maintain pressure on Russia while the US has quietly lifted some sanctions.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's press representative announced with a straight face that all partners should continue applying pressure on Russia, while the US has already quietly lifted sanctions on Russian oil sales via tankers. This is about as logical as telling all visitors at Liepāja Olympic Center pool to keep swimming while you've already quietly gotten out of the water.
Starmer's representative diplomatically explained that our support for Ukraine reduces Russia's ability to wage war elsewhere in the world, both militarily and financially. Most likely he meant Riga by "elsewhere in the world," because there's no other explanation. The best way to continue blocking Russia's support for hostile forces is supposedly to maintain collective pressure and end the war in Ukraine.
"Well yes, we'll keep pressing while the Americans are already heading home," comments Liepāja resident Uldis, who is currently doing push-ups at the Olympic Center. "It's like a group workout — one guy has already gone to shower, but the rest are still trying to finish." On the bright side, there's still a strong wind blowing in Liepāja, which is much more reliable than any international agreement.
