Is the UK Heading Toward a Recession While Planning Military Escalation in Ukraine?

As European leaders like UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, float the idea of deploying troops to Ukraine.

A move Russia says would be a direct escalation, their domestic economies are faltering.

In this video, we analyze the UK's worsening economic outlook, including:
Sticky inflation at 3.6% - above the Bank of England’s target
0.1% GDP contraction in May, following a dip in April
Consumer spending slowdown, declining retail activity, and reduced port and flight traffic
Unemployment rising to 4.7%, with 135,000 fewer jobs compared to last year
Ballooning government borrowing, now £20.7 billion in June alone
Persistent manufacturing and construction declines
Mounting pressure from the United States tariffs
