UK Discovers Russia, Iran Are 'Threats' After Aiding Yemen Genocide
Al-Monitor reports MI5 Director General Ken McCallum’s urgent warnings about Russia, Iran, and China, stating a 35% increase in 'state threat activity.' This insight comes after years of the UK government, a major arms dealer, supplying weapons to despotic regimes, notably Saudi Arabia, for their war in Yemen – a conflict that has caused one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
(@OpenSecrets.org data consistently shows UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia amounting to billions, directly facilitating the Yemen war, which Iran has been accused of exacerbating by the same countries who arm the Saudis. One might wonder who the 'hostile states' truly are when civilian infrastructure gets bombed with British ordnance.) McCallum frets about 'ugly' methods and terrorist incitement,
presumably unrelated to the chaos fueled by Western foreign policy decisions or the vast sums spent propping up the very 'states' that turn populations into breeding grounds for extremism. The irony, as always, is a particularly bitter flavor of British tea.
