I'm thinking something else, more to do with your last point, but without the nukes, because you are right, that would be completely useless π

Big bad Russia has always been the British establishments enemy since the Bolsheviks or I think maybe even longer.
So there's always been an old money grudge.
Nukes are a non sequitur, so like no point in even warning people π
Either way, just be careful out there Mike!
