I woke up to this[1], after a bit of snatched dream[2] wondering where the Japanese region would get involved in the current edge-of-Europe geopolitical mess. The internal conclusion was that it wouldn't be significant without... well, my dream-geography was a bit more messed up even than real east-Asian geography, but they do have contact/disputes with .ru and though my internal screenwriter[4] was tending towards purely domestic crises not having anything to do with foreign influnce (strangely not China Sea stuff/Best Korea, in this version, which waking-self might consciously default to), there was an applied hint in my head that there'd be some shadowy influence looking to destabilise a distant bit of the world (as distraction) would... do something. Details fuzzy, but the paraoic conspiracy-theoretical mindset would clearly sieze on this.
Myself, unless anything new has been revealed in the last couple of hours, I'd say homegrown lone-wolf maniac with a (self-contrived?) grudge, and yet I'm sure new-Q types (or original Q/those who engineered 'his' recent ressurection) might have something to suggest, amongst others. All grist to the mill.
Where was I, again? Ah, well, I expect there'll be fall-out. Hopefully no more than unguided and unfounded hyperspeculation. If it gets to the level of actual international relations shifting/hardening significantly, then its got to involve falling dominoes of various increasing sizes, which one can't rule out but can only wait and see and try to identify once any sequence has actually played out.
[1] My motto clearly is "Late to rise / Late to bed / Makes a man Stupid, Endebted and Dead..."
[2] Amongst other things[3] that might be equally random but not recallable as significant.
[3] There was a thing about The Doctor/mass amnesia and another about resource allocation system, for which I know exactly what inspired them in the nightly neural defrag of the prior day's experiences; other things less so/not 'clearly' precognitive in nature... Yet!
[4] I have a tendency to dream rewound/repeated scenes (within a given sleep, not across several nights) as if I'm fine-tuning the plot. Ends up a bit bullet-dodging/I Know Kung-Fu at times, which probably makes for something that wouldn't actually be a plausibly monetisable script IRL, or maybe I'm missing out on loads of Hollywood Dosh? (And this is why I don't post to the Dream Thread any more. Too much potential detail, and you might steal all my ideas and sell them to Disney/Marvel/Michael Bay/Lars Von Trier!)
