Why then do they all invariably give such a definite date rather than something like "next five years" or "next decade" or even other dates like "2028/2030/2031/2032"? Somewhere a decision has been made about this date. (Historically, we know that World War One, for instance, was actively planned and prepared for for a number of years before it happened.)

I'll probably got all that ready by 2029. Might even afford some iodine for radioactivity - as suggested by James O'Brien on LBC this morning. I don't want a dodgy tummy after the bomb's gone off.
Military "experts" (Chatham House, ex-top brass, etc) have said 2029 for war for a number of years. It's been arranged with the enemy after tiffin on the Riviera.
Capitalism's Praetorian Guard. Every company has this disparity to some extent: pay a handful more, gjve them medals and status in order to control the mass who are forced to work for a pittance.
Maybe all the kids on esports courses at school and college can be enlisted to fly drones?
Wow, the CPGB (Scotland) seem have moved a long way from their pacifist, kumbayah Eurocommunist days. I don't give them much hope of success when this 22 year-old strategist keeps notes and plans about NOT keeping notes and plans in case the police find them. I suspect he was in a cell of one in an organisation of one.
No, not terrorists. Terrorists look like 80 year-old priests who hold up signs denouncing genocide. The world is upside down in the UK remember.
The actual study is far more worrying than I thought:
Thank you for such thoughtful agreement.
Wandavision was all hype and Agatha All Along was beyond cringe. Utterly awful. I'm not sure why all fantasy and science fiction movies and tv have to be cgi-heavy sentimental slop these days. But this is where we are and likely where Schaeffer's Stargate will go (if it's ever made).
Maybe the Greens should prioritise the environmental aspects of their politics and TACTICALLY place social domestic issues second to those (though work to show how social policies link with environmental ones). The right-wing media has been able to hijack Green foreign policies and use the anti-semitism strategy they refined against Corbyn's Labour. Green's haven't pushed back hard enough on the "populists" label they've been given and the idea they're a mirror image of the far-right.
The electorate isn't the same as intellingent, aware politically interested people. Half of the electorate are half-asleep at the best of times and just want someone to tell them who to vote for. They expect Greens to be "Green" and, the Green Party does need to take this into account. At a time when the climate crisis is the worst we've experienced where are all the protests? It's like there's been a decision not to make a big deal of this and channel protest into electoral work instead. I'd be interested to know if this was actually the case.
