But as serious, if Labour continues as it is then the majority who now believe in rejoining the EU are left without a major party in a two-party system that they can support. Nor, in England, the Green’s apart, is there a left-of-centre party. Labour has abandoned that role.

Sure, they could be. And Russia would be wiped off the face of the earth if they were (and likely large parts of other countries too in the process, so fun times all around.) It’s blows my mind that these raving fools are making such irresponsible statements.

#russia #nuclearWar

@aral My completely unqualified opinion is that they’re more likely to deploy a low-yield tactical weapon on Ukrainian soil and dare the West to escalate. This would be a reaction to a real or staged attack on Russian soil. When the US screams bloody murder they’re going to tap the map and point to Hiroshima.
