Russia-NATO War Fears and Britain's Unraveling
Reports of a possible Russia-NATO clash 'within the year' were mostly waved off as fearmongering, with commenters arguing that neither side has reason for all-out war—Russia is tied down in Ukraine and NATO has no appetite—so sabotage and proxy escalation are the realistic risk. In parallel, a Britain strained by independence pushes in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and by immigration pressures was read less as foreign news than as a warning for Japan's own future.
