It's illustrating American society with its military worship and war porn is always going to be pro military action because its people do not experience the consequences of those actions- perhaps the closest consequence would be 9/11- and it also demonstrates the collective cowardice of American society. Americans are pro war when it's someone else's ass on the line, but the moment when a draft is going to be called (highly likely in a NATO conflict with russia), you'll have an epidemic of 'bone spurs' amongst the american people.

I've often wondered where the UK's historical animosity towards Russia comes from; was it because of the overthrow of the Tsar and the Royal Family's blood relations?

No, it began long before. The British joined the French and Ottomans in fighting Russia in the Crimean War (1853-56).
For most of the 19th century and early 20th century, there was the Great Game between the British and the Russians,
during which the British were worried that Russia would strive (via Afghanistan) to take India.
"Ivan IV and Elizabeth I: The influence of the Tsar’s matrimonial endeavours on the development of Russo-English relations."
"Did Ivan the Terrible1 propose a marriage alliance with Elizabeth I of England? Did he ever seek an alternative English bride?
Was the Tsar truly serious about an English match? Historians have long been divided on whether Ivan the Terrible ever
formally sought out to marry the Queen of England - this article reveals that a marriage proposal may indeed have been
proffered to Elizabeth I, but was not formally written down. The evidence for this is found by focussing on the contextual
background of their relations, the long-term realpolitik of the Tsar with England, including his marriage attempts to a relation of
the English Queen in the 1580s, and the work of the ambassador Anthony Jenkinson, as an intermediary between Ivan and Elizabeth.
In investigating these points, the close diplomatic relations of the two countries in the late sixteenth century and the extraordinarily
favourable trading terms offered by Ivan IV to English merchants in the form of the Muscovy Company will also be examined.
In addition, the differences and similarities of the perceptions of the two monarchies will be touched upon. Perhaps most intriguingly
for the present, research in this period reveals a time in which the two countries experienced a ‘friendliness’ in diplomatic and trading
relations that has never been repeated since and would seem unthinkable today."
