Lusitania 2.0 just made international waters. This will be a fun week.
Russia wont touch it.
Time is on Russias side now. The West doesn't have the stomach to lose troops in Ukraine, and unlimited financial support is losing popularity.
Steady pressure, keep attritting Ukraine Soldiers. No major power is more comfortable fighting a war of attrition than Russia.
Or are you predicting a false flag
Not predicting, but this looks too goddamn stupid not to be a setup.
The Neocons miscalculated this, they want out. I'm sure a bunch of Globalists want WWIII. I hope we can avoid it. I'm stupid enough to make predictions, and here's mine:
Russia will ignore the West and continue their military operations in Ukraine. Their strategy has changed from taking territory to just simply killing the Ukraine military and will to fight.
The West will throw tons of equipment at Ukraine with a primary mission of a show of force resulting in a negotiated peace, where they give up a little, but keep a strong position. Their secondary mission if the primary fails will be to launch an all out assault on Russian forces in the Fall to try and force a peace.
The Russians are done negotiating. You can thank the hubris of Western leaders like Macron and Merkel who bragged the Minsk Accords were lies to buy time.
This war will last about 3 years. Ukraine will not be able to sustain warfare after that, Western financial and military support will be drying up, and Ukraine will be forced to cede the east, and perhaps much of the south to Russia.
In the wake of this, Zelensky will be forced out by Ukrainians, and he will end up in the Bahamas a disgraced Billionaire.
I think the upcoming Russian offensive will end the war.
I hope you are right.
Gonzo Lira says Russia's goal now is to end Ukraine and take the entire country. So he's more extreme than I.
His says it was not Russia's goal at the start, but Western actions have proven that Russia cannot allow Ukraine to exist independently at all or we will be right back here in a decade.
Regardless, it's pretty clear the West has put an end date on this and they are getting shaky. It's probably very likely that there are competing theories in WDC on what to do next, some are hardliners that want to go all the way, and others that want out now.
I think the upcoming Russian offensive will end the war.
This seems to confirm your prediction
Sounds legit to me, but propaganda has been so effective and pervasive in this war, it's hard to tell.
Too many specifics for me to disregard on this one. Particularly toward the end where he talking about the lines of defense and says if the Russians get to the 3rd line, everything collapses.
And I thinks that's SOP in Washington DC. The Biden Admin appears ready to get out, to me. I think I posted the Blinken offer here, which they ran through Egypt for cover. Russia rejected it. Condi calls it pretty straight, time is running out for Ukraine, and if we are going to keep killing Russians, we are likely going to have to do it ourselves.
It appears the full Ukraine military + NATO support, logistics and access to Intel is a pretty fair match. But if you run out of equipment and troops, you lose. No one asks why a Ukraine that started the war with 2000 tanks and captured many more, why do they need more tanks. The answer is obvious, they've been destroyed.
