I had a really strange sequence of dreams last night...ending up with the UK fighting CHINA for some reason...but not really...it was rather like a BATTLE RE-ENACTMENT but actually a 'future battle'...so I would guess that this is what MARK R was planning would happen...but within the 'acting' of it...it all came undone - this is what happened in my dream:

The UK contingent had guns but they refused to use them...the CHINESE contingent then walked into the middle of them firing warning shots but didn't actually shoot anybody...the AMERICANS were the real threat and they were in hiding...waiting to pick off the 'winners' of the battle between the CHINESE and the UK...it didn't happen...the UK forces then retreated to sniper positions and waited...the AMERICANS then came out of hiding and bizarrely, told the UK 'forces' that they wanted to join them...
