Cad Goddeu

 Russian social media is speculating about the origin of the name "ореховый" or "hazel" applied to the new hypersonic missile which is so upsetting to the plans of the West's military industrial complex.  One theory is that it refers to a line in a song "Kad Goddo" by the Soviet era band Aquarium, based on the medieval and somewhat mystical Welsh poem Cad Goddeu - the battle of the trees:

 The hazel will be the judge

All I hope is that the old man of Pencader's prediction is on hold for a few more generations.
