Today, the head of the Russian Duma....Medvedev....had forecasts for 2023.
There were two of these of interest.
First, he says the UK will apply and rejoin the EU in 2023. BS? If you went to a vote, the 'remain-in-the-EU' crowd would probably clear 60-percent on this go-around. It's possible.
Second, Medvedev says a new 'Fourth Reich' will occur.
In this scenario he describes.....Germany will combine with the Baltic states, Poland, and what remains of the Ukraine. Yeah, he does indicate a Nazi-like situation.
BS? About 98-percent.
Germany has zero interest in expansion. Even if asked about annexing some area of Europe....there's probably less than 1-percent interest in annexing Poland or Austria.
Military-wise? I would suggest Germany is probably at the weakest point since 1945. The whole suggestion is a comedy of sorts.
Even if you went around to the various political parties.....neither the CDU/CSU or SPD would have an ounce of energy for this.
But for the Russians....they still dream about the next great war....even if their military is now completely decimated.

No chance that they'll let the UK back in for a while. The conservatives aren't due to go to the polls until 2024, and they definitely don't want to be under the scrutiny of the EU tax rules, and their Russian paymasters wouldn't let them either way.
3rd party rise in the UK probably will change the dynamics. Reform UK might pull 25-percent in the next election. Refugee problem will be the primary problem in this next election, along with free-speech chatter, and police reform.
I'd also suggest that 'new' Twitter will heavily influence the outcome (under Elon).
It's first past the post which will just cripple the conservatives more. Especially given the SNP are working on a one issue ticket next election with their referendum.
I would agree on the gimmick of the SNP, but things have progressed well past the point of one single core issue. I think you had a dozen regular UK people (not journalists)...with a full hour to whine...they'd crank out twenty-odd issues which need resolving at a national level. Oddly, the only thing unifying people seems to revolve around anti-Harry/Meghan talk.
