🧵: I surmise key reason Brits can't give up on proxy war is they are terrified of the scale of their involvement, and huge responsibility for Ukraine's destruction, being exposed publicly. All of Kiev's most embarrassing military blunders were British operations. Let's dive in.
As I've written about extensively, Kursk was British planned, armed, directed, trained op. This was publicly admitted. Was supposed to normalise overt British involvement in the proxy war, in the hope Germans and Americans would follow suit. That failed.

Kursk will likely in future be considered one of the biggest military blunders in modern history. So too will Krynky, a lunatic suicide mission that saw wave after wave of ill-equipped Ukrainians get killed under relentless Russian fire, to seize a village. They failed.
The ever-fascinating @HistoryLegends_ produced a stunning post-mortem on this operation, which was never officially promoted, formally named, or publicised much, beyond media reports on how it meant almost certain (awful) death for Ukrainians sent there.
@HistoryLegends_ Ukrainian Pravda now published very detailed and long account of how the Krynky cataclysm was planned and played out, with UAF chiefs keeping it running despite the fact it was, very early on, clearly an unwinnable waste of time, energy, and human life:

@HistoryLegends_ It is an utterly damning appraisal, but the most interesting parts reveal that the Krynky catastrophe was...proposed by the British, who then trained and armed Ukrainian marines for the purpose, in the UK!!!
@HistoryLegends_ As @TheGrayzoneNews has repeatedly exposed, British intelligence has been concocting and carrying out all sorts of insane, escalatory plans for the Ukraine proxy, much of it maritime-related. I bet you @prevailpartners was training these marines!

If British soldiers were dispatched on a suicide mission like Krynky, the officials who signed off on it, planned it, and kept it running for almost a *year* would be court martialled. But it was Britain's Ukrainian shock troops instead. So the guilty parties are safe. For now.
Britain has been at the forefront of the push to allow Ukraine to strike deep inside Russian territory with Western weapons. They finally got the permission, Ukraine did that, and got ICBMed. Your move, London and Kiev. Your move.
