It’s just all so unpredictable. Literally anything could happen at this point. What a very strange past 2 years

Tbf he says he doubts that will happen. But goes on to talk about the soap-opera style shiiiitshow that is happening behind the scenes of the Russian curtain.

Decent enough read.

I dont think it's any secret that the people of Russia are going to be in a tangle though.

It'll be quite ironic if Putin's attempt to create a final legacy is what ends his power but I've a feeling that's what may happen.

Surely the Russians will have to do something to stop Putin. Even if they overthrow the Ukrainian government they will have 40 million people absolutely despising them. There’s no way they could occupy the country permanently

That whole story is made up by some western guy.
Putin will stay there for ten years and he will prepare an other Putin to replace him.

A mini me version of him

No one knows the future, we can only hope that the people of Ukraine can get back to being a democracy, and that sometime in the future Russia does to.
It's what the majority want.

I just took a gander at Maajid Nawaz’s Twitter. Gotta wash my eyes out with bleach. If you ever wanna know what someone looks like who’s fallen down the rabbit hole and hit every root on the way down it’s him. The guy is certifiable.

I did skim the rest, if I’m being honest.

From that thread:

Now we are stuck waiting until some mentally screwed up advisor convinces the top to start a conflict with Europe, with demands to reduce the sanctions – they either loosen the sanctions or war.

And what if the West refuses? In that instance I won’t exclude that we will be pulled into a real international conflict, just like Hitler in 1939. Our “Z” will be equated to the Swastika.

Is there a possibility of a localized nuclear strike (in Ukraine)? Yes. Not for any military objectives. Such a weapon won’t help with the breach of the defenses. But with a goal of scaring everyone else (The West).

—————

That’s the worry surely. I fear this will get (a lot) worse before it gets better.
