Anyone else uneasy after this week? I don't think we're yet at the point where a nuclear NATO v Russia war is inevitable but it feels like we're getting too close for comfort. It's certainly the most uneasy since the Cuban Missile Crisis of the early 60s or at least perhaps the tension of the early 80s that nearly lead to a war over a computer malfunction.

The review of that is in January. It wouldn't exactly be a surprise to see it tick closer to the end of the line.

It's all about drones these days anyway. Next war will be fought by who is best at playing on consoles.

Good news with Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal...although probably not good for Palestinians as looks like it's decoupled from any deal over Gaza.

I guess this is good for Biden not that it matters, he will still be looked on as a bit of a failure.

And the Corbyn supporters love a lot of russian genocide.

France has said Netanyahu has immunity from ICC arrest thing in France...maybe that was part of the Hezbollah ceasefire deal.
