yeah I'm not loving the trend that you can't even read news easily nowadays
A pan Asian high speed railway network is becoming a reality. Soon it will be possible to travel from Singapore to Shanghai by train!
The UK can't do much of anything on their own, so the real question would be whether the US would risk a nuclear holocaust over UK or not. If the US does nothing then the whole NATO scam is going to collapse overnight though.
Incidentally, the FT just described UK military as a Potemkin village
The result is that Britain has a Potemkin village military retaining the emblems of a pocket superpower, but without the necessary hard capabilities. The present disordered world does not leave room for such tricks.
Exactly, if they think Russia is bluffing and Russia actually hits the UK then we're firmly in WW3 scenario.
The real question is what they will do if Russia responds by sending an Oreshnik to UK. It's basically what Putin said would happen in response to next attack.
Seems like they'd rather we all die than admit that Russia won.
Ukraine never had a nuclear arsenal. USSR had nuclear weapons stationed in Ukraine, and Russia became the inheritor state when USSR dissolved.
being a Canadian is depressing af
NATO serves to bolster US interests though, and having an all out nuclear war is not what US oligarchs want as Trump victory shows. So, I think there's a very good chance they cut their losses. It's not like Europe wouldn't be dependent on US without NATO at the end of the day.
