British troops will be deployed in Ukraine to train soldiers fighting Russian separatists, David Cameron has said, as he delivered an extraordinary warning to Vladimir Putin over his continued aggression in eastern Europe.

He warned that Mr Putin has opted out of the “rules-based system” of the twenty-first century and warned that the Russian president must expect consequences.

It’s not in America’s interest to allow our genocidal Russian enemies to dominate Europe and use it as a base to oppose and attack us. We must defeat the Putin regime for ourselves, not for Europe or anybody else.

Europe as a base to attack the United States ?

This plot is too far-fetched for even the James Bond producers.
