DISINFO: The strategic aim of the UK Conservative party is Russia's collapse

SUMMARY

Boris Johnson will hardly become Russia’s friend because the Conservative Party has made a strategic bet, that if something should crumble in the East, they would become the masters. Britain will continue to spare no expense to rock the the political situation in Russia and around it.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory consistent with a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the West encircling Russia. See similar disinformation cases about Western "Great Turan" doctrine aimed at creating a ring of unfriendly states along Russia's southern border, anti-Russian plan for an "Anaconda ring", Western attempts to break Russia up into a few nominally independent states.
