Putin is thought to be testing how isolated Britain is after Brexit and he won't like the results

6. Perhaps you could explain exactly what in that footage is supposed to be so persuasive?

All I'm seeing is a bunch of political posturing and conjecture with a strong dash of appeal to authority - predictably, except from Trump, of course, who's away with the fairies anyway.

As for what I can only assume is your attempt at a silly insult with the "out in the poppies" thing, I'm pretty inured to all that crap having lived through the run-up to the Iraq War, both IRL and online - and my skepticism served me well at that time - so I respectfully suggest you save it for somebody who gives a damn.

We might - might - eventually find out what actually happened, and I wouldn't be surprised if the threads lead back to Putin in the end, but there are too many inexplicable loose ends at the moment to pass definitive judgement.

As for the thesis in the OP - at the moment, utterly predictably, Theresa May's standing has been improved, so if that was the plot, it's been a spectacular backfire, and it wouldn't have taken a genius to predict that would be the case.
