KeymasterI doubt it. But,if happens, the British capitalist state will have to prepare to send the expeditionary force to go to northern Russia again that it has committed itself to.
But, to be serious for a moment, Finland is already trying to appease Russia by saying that nuclear weapons won’t be installed there.

KeymasterMeanwhile Ukraine is continuing to pass repressive laws to make the regime there the mirror image of the one in Russia. St. Zelensky has just signed a law making it easier to ban political parties without appeal. We would be banned under it if we didn’t follow the government line that the war doesn’t have the civil war aspect that it obviously does have. Saying that it does will get you into trouble just as in Russia saying that it is a war and not a special military operation will.

KeymasterWhat are you to do in the meantime — eat drink (especially the half empty glass) and be merry?

KeymasterThe other question is: what will you do if it doesn’t happen? Say like the Jehovah witnesses that you got the date wrong?

InactiveThe Thessalonians got the date wrong of the end of the world, and they sold and gave away everything that they had, the date came and nothing happened and they became poor. Probably, Paul was smoking too much opium or hashish

KeymasterTurkey’s president has restated his opposition to Finland and Sweden joining Nato – just hours after they said they would seek membership.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the two Scandinavian nations need not send delegations to convince Turkey, a key Nato member, of their bids. He is angered by what he sees as their willingness to host Kurdish militants.

Meanwhile NATO holds one of the biggest-ever military exercises in the Baltics is now under way. Named “Hedgehog”, the drills involve 10 countries, including Finland and Sweden.
Some 15,000 troops are involved in the exercise in Estonia, making it one of the largest military drills held in the country since 1991. The exercise is taking place 64km (40 miles) from Russia’s nearest military base. It is intended to simulate an attack from Russia on Estonia.

KeymasterThe return of state capitalism?
Moscow said Renault’s Russian assets had now become state property. It is the first Russian nationalisation of a major foreign business since the invasion of Ukraine.
