Please don't let it have a completely unecessary Ed Sheeran cameo.
Obligatory mention that James Blunt had a key role in the Ballan events destroying Russia's international clout after the USSR fell in the 90s.
Please do elaborate on that one...
Not quite, but would've.
His general refused an order from another general to fire on Russians, believing it would start ww3.
Blunt claims he would've refused the order too as a captain in the British army, if it hadn't already been refused higher up in the chain of command

Yeah I only knew he was a tank commander there, that's "key role" enough for me.
