I'm a mixed race person, and I don't want to see my country overrun. So it's not racism that is at the root of the issue. Migrant homelands remain black or brown or whatever. White countries are disappearing. What''s right about that?

In WW II, Russia and the UK were allies, but Russia was at war with
Germany and some east European countries.

I would expect something similar to occur, but a lot more information
is needed to try to predict the exact lineup.

If you live in Europe, perhaps you have some insight you could share.

From the point of view of Generational Dynamics, Russia and Britain are not headed for war. Historically, the Russians love the British, and the British have no particular ill feelings towards any Russians except Putin and his cadre of officials who are going around poisoning people on British soil with the nerve agent Novichok. However, eastern Europe is extremely volatile, and it's possible at some point that Russia will be involved in a war with Ukraine or other east European countries, as has happened many times in the past few centuries. For that reason, Britain's decision to set up a new military base in northern Norway could be quite significant.
