    There is no pro russian party in the UK, what are you on about. Even the right wing fascists are isolationists, they’re not pro Russian, and they’re also not going to win.

    The next election in the UK will either be in 3 months or towards the end of 2024 or early 2025 - UK elections are weird like that. The next election after that won’t be until 2030 and the outcome of the 2024/2025 UK election is practically a foregone conclusion, and it’s going to a leftist government. By 2027 that government will be in charge there won’t have been another election by then.

      You’re right, I oversimplified.

      The key term here is isolationists. Regarding our topic – the question whether NATO is an automagically reliant deterrant – Moscow does not need to control the UK as a puppet state, it suffices that they promote isolationism to a degree that the UK would not intervene into “domestic matters of Latvia”.

        Yeah except the fact that the isolationists aren’t going to win the election, so what they want is irrelevant.

        There’s always going to be isolationist groups in every country but their existence can be ignored unless they are politically relevant, and this lot are about as politically relevant as any other random fringe party.
