The UK is dragged into the war by hawks and defence industry goons in a newly elected Labour government under Keir Starmer.
Trump then wins the election and begins a withdrawal of support, money, and troops by the US, leaving us in the lurch.
Russia hits some UK military targets abroad and maybe does some cyber attacks here, which will enrage the defense folks but the not the public, just to remind us were a yapping little dog without the US.
Suddenly there will be an embarrassing climb down and U-turn as we pivot to supporting a peace agreement rather than getting our shit kicked in without full US backing.
