Starmer's Russia Hoax Exposed

Keir Starmer has announced that he is putting the UK military in a state of "war-fighting readiness" claiming that the "threat from Russia cannot be ignored". The Prime Minister then announced that spending on 'defence' would be vastly increased to 3% of GDP as soon as possible.

Defence Secretary John Healey says "we are in a new era of threat, which demands a new era for UK defence", while outlining the government's defence spending plans. The new plans include a new cyber warfare devision to counter online attacks and some 12 new nuclear submarines to rival Russias.

However, the Russian threat Is a lie.

Russia has shown no interest in invading Europe or exporting a grand ideological vision.

Not Communist Russia. Not Soviet Russia. Just modern, post-ideological, dysfunctional Russia. A nation that, for all its faults, has shown no interest in invading Europe or exporting a grand ideological vision. But that doesn’t matter. Because in Westminster, Russia serves a different purpose: it’s the perfect hobgoblin. A convenient, permanent menace that justifies censorship, centralisation, militarisation, and the slow suffocation of dissent.

Let's be perfectly clear, there is no Russian army marching toward Berlin, no tanks gathering at Calais, no threat of ideological subversion. 

Russia has not invaded a NATO country, nor does it have the means or desire to do so. Its interests are narrow, regional, and mostly defensive—driven by paranoia and a desire to maintain buffer zones, not global conquest. The idea that Russia is after global conquest is one entirely fabricated by manipulative politicians and complicit media.

Starmer’s government, like many across the West, has seized on the Ukraine conflict and blown it far beyond its actual scope. What is, in reality, a brutal but regional war between two former Soviet states is being spun as a civilisational struggle—a new Cold War, a fight for “democracy itself.” The goal isn’t to explain the world. It’s to frighten the population into submission.

This isn't about defending Europe, Ukraine isn't even in Europe. It’s about manipulating Britains.

George Orwell warned us: if you want to control people, give them a constant, shape-shifting enemy. In 1984, it was perpetual war, phantom foes, and historical revisionism that kept the masses fearful and obedient. Today, in the UK, Keir Starmer is borrowing that same blueprint—only this time, the omnipresent threat is Russia.

Starmer, like many Western leaders, paints Moscow as a civilisation-threatening supervillain lurking behind every crisis.  And this myth has domestic utility.

The fear of Russia is now a blank cheque for everything: increased defence spending, expanded surveillance, censorship under the guise of “disinformation control,” and crackdowns on political opposition framed as foreign-influenced or unpatriotic. 

If anyone questions government policy on Ukraine, they’re smeared as a Putin apologist. If someone protests military escalation or questions NATO’s motives, they’re accused of aiding the enemy.

This is not national security. This is narrative control.  We’ve seen it before. The “threat” is always evolving, always justifying more and more power in the hands of the state.  

In Orwell’s 1984, it didn’t matter whether the war was with Eurasia or Eastasia—what mattered was that war kept the Ingsoc in power. (Ingsoc mean't English Socialists, another name for the modern Labour party). 

Today, it doesn't matter what Russia is actually doing; what matters is that its image as an eternal menace keeps the public compliant.  The conflict in Ukraine, tragic as it is, has become a stage for performative righteousness and domestic political consolidation. A chance to wrap every authoritarian measure in the Union Jack and call it “defending democracy.”

Online censorship? Blame Russian bots. Mass surveillance? Necessary to monitor foreign interference. Crushing alternative media or protests? They might be influenced by Moscow. Dissent isn’t debate anymore—it’s treason.

 And the press plays along, pumping out breathless stories about Russian cyber attacks, election meddling, and troll farms—rarely with evidence, and never with proportion. A murky incident in cyberspace is treated like a military invasion. A Ukrainian counteroffensive is sold as the fate of Western civilisation. Fear is the product. Obedience is the goal.

The truth is simpler and far less cinematic: Russia is a declining regional power with nukes and oil, not an empire on the march. The West is not on the brink of collapse. But our political class needs enemies, not answers. And Russia, stripped of nuance, is the ideal villain.

Starmer’s war isn’t fought in the Donbas or Crimea. It’s waged at home—against your freedom to speak, to question, to refuse. And just like Orwell’s Party, this government will keep the war going forever. Not to win it. But to make sure you never win anything at all.
