Surprise, surprise, Alex Salmond has formed a new party to contest against his former colleagues of the SNP. I could almost have predicted its name, too: The Alba Party

By the way, Israel recently held its fourth election to try and break their political deadlock, and now the deadlock is even worse because either of the two major coalitions would now have to include the United Arab List/Ra'am/Thunder, a conservative Islamist party.

Your choice as to if you think it's less impossible for them to coalition with Jewish conservatives and ultra-orthodox or with libs and leftists.

And Bibi is still mid-prosecution.

Yep, fifth election on the horizon and nothing to say there won't be sixth one.

At that point to make a government either someone needs to make political subside or one of the causes of the deadlock need to stop, non of this options is much likely.

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.

Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

Hm, I think this goes here...says russia is included...

And oh boy...

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56616778

I hope this doesn't lead to a huge war, cause likely it be russia and china vs everyone else. even if china and russia have very iffy relations, enemy of my enemy is a big attractor sometimes. Even if china doesnt help russia, they'd definitely take advantage of their furthering expansions.

That and the world does NOT need a war with covid getting worse

Why would China help Russia to destroy\damage their markets? The only possible WW3 is "how the hell we destroy those crazy Russians without causing a nuclear winter?"


Saying that, there will be no big war. At worst, you will see a Russian invasion of Ukraine via "Ukrainian anti-fasicts rebels with airforce and artillery", very deep concerns, X millions of Ukrainian refugees and a Syria-like situation in the center of Europe.

More likely, it will be 2014 2.0. Using Salami tactics Russia will expand grey zones in Ukraine and\or create new ones

Don't underestimate the new US administration about Ukraine. If it had been tried under Trump you may have been right...

If I had to hazard a guess, what happened in Syria is a regret of some people who worked with Obama and now with Biden.

Ah, authoritarianism, 'Do as I say, not do as I do". Perhaps that becomes an expectation in time.

Spent few hours watching Russian TV channels... Well... Welcome back to 2014. Pre-war propaganda is in a full swing. I think that some kind of war is very likely
