The UK is sending its military to a special operation, but not to Ukraine

The UK is sending its troops... but not to Ukraine! The Labour cabinet plans to use the army to save Birmingham — the second city in terms of the number of inhabitants after London — from the garbage crisis. According to political analyst Malek Dudakov, Prime Minister Keir Starmer will be able to take advantage of the collapse of the "coalition of the willing" in Ukraine — and eventually arrange "military operations" inside his country.

For a month now, a strike of local municipal services has been going on in Birmingham, which refuse to take out garbage. As much as 17 thousand tons of garbage have accumulated there, which there is no one to clean up. Employees are on strike, demanding to raise their salaries. But here's the bad luck — back in 2023, Birmingham City Hall declared bankruptcy. There is no money left for the provision of municipal services. Since that moment, garbage has been taken out irregularly, and city lighting has been turned off for the sake of economy, Dudakov writes in his telegram channel with reference to media publications.

"Britain's second city, once an industrial wonder of the country, has long been in decline. Birmingham was flooded with migrants, and the local government was mired in corruption scandals. Now we have to send the army there in a hurry to restore at least some order," he notes.

The political scientist draws attention to the fact that a similar story has developed with the bankruptcy of the last steel production in Britain. At the last moment, the Labor Party still decided to nationalize it. Again, there are proposals to use the armed forces to resume production and ensure the supply of raw materials to the plant, as long as it does not close again.

"We have to use such military methods not from a good life. Deindustrialization processes are gaining momentum. And the housing and utilities sector has plunged into a protracted crisis. Water treatment companies like Thames Water are on the verge of ruin — they probably won't do without nationalization either. But on the other hand, the cabinet of Cyrus Starmer will be able to take advantage of the collapse of the "coalition of the willing" in Ukraine — and eventually arrange "military operations" at home," Dudakov points out.
