    What I’ve been predicting would happen for the past two years is what’s actually happening. And now we’re at the point where even mainstream western media is openly admitting it. My position hasn’t changed this whole time. Meanwhile, people who predicted that Russia would collapse economically, that Russian military would run out of ammo, and all the other nonsense have a lot of explaining to do.

          Sounds like western propaganda to me 😁.

          But in all seriousness, I am mostly disbelieving that we have nostradamus manifest over here

            You don’t have to be nostradamus manifest to understand the basics of how economics work or historical literacy. Plenty of western experts understood what a proxy war with Russia would look like, and explained in great detail why it must play out the way it is. You keep on believing whatever you like of course, reality doesn’t care about your opinions.

              Mhm, this is why nobody has been able to predict shit about this conflict, is it? Including you of course.

                Plenty of people, including myself, were able to predict a lot about this conflict. Go back and read my comments over the past two years if you don’t believe me. Go look at what people like Brian Berlectic, John Mearsheimer, Alex Vershinin, and many others have been saying. The fact that you’re utterly ignorant of what the expert opinion is on the matter says volumes though.

                  My peep, I don’t care that much. I don’t assign my self worth by deluding myself I can predict the outcome of a military conflict between two nation states with millions of people which I can’t influence whatsoever. But do go on believing you’re prescient as fuck. So long as you get to feel smugly superior, it’s all that matters. Peace.

                    I love how you just keep making personal attacks in lieu of having any actual point to make. Feel free to point out what I’ve said about the conflict that’s been wrong though. Peace.

            The FT is actually a tad bit more reliable than more mainstream outlets like WaPo or the NYT. It’s targeted towards people in finance who want more matter of fact reporting and fewer opinion pieces.
