Can't read it, but I can read enough of it to know the author thinks Ukraine will be victorious. I know that 's wrong.

I expect Ukraine to be divided up into East and West Ukraine, West Ukraine will be deeply in debt to the IMF. I'm not even certain it will survive as a country. Crimea will remain Russian, I'm not certain to what extent Western Ukraine will be Russian - anything with resources most likely.

The war might go on for many years. I'd bet at least 3 more. It may never really end, but end up in a low key conflict that just drags on where there is little if any fighting, but there is clear hostility.

I think the pattern I've noticed is that when the US claims that "victory is imminent" is never is and it's the exact opposite. Remember when the US claimed "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq? Then it went on to 2011, and then it was staffed by mercenaries? When the US leaves, they just leave - like Libya We won't even hear about it

Eventually the "news" media will just stop talking about Ukraine except sporadically, maybe not at all. They never mention Yemen or Somalia. Do they talk about Syria?

https://search.brave.com/news?q=syria&source=web

They don't even talk about the war. This means its still going on, although the US isn't very active there, and is protecting assets. Whatever the goals were, have largely been achieved or abandoned. We'll see.

The area we call Ukraine has been dominated by other countries since time immemorial.

Ukraine is finished. The counteroffensive failed and Ukraine's losses are so high, they don't have an army anymore to keep fighting.

I read an interesting piece on Prigozhin:

https://ryandawson.substack.com/p/coup-or-psyop-neither

His viewpoint is that Prigozhin is just a moron that believes western propaganda and thinks that Prigozhin has actually no military experience. He's just a dumb thug. He owns Wagner, but doesn't control it. He's just a businessman, but I have no idea. Basically, Prigozhin actually believes Russia is losing the war.

If Russia loses this conflict, I'm going to have to do some real thinking about how I was deceived because at this point, I'm totally convinced there is no way Russia can lose short of NATO actually going to war with Russia, and even THEN, I don't think Russia will lose.

I have a prediction on Prigozhin:

He will be murdered in some novel, weird way, and the US security agencies (i.e. "western media") will blame Putin after Putin let him go, and exiled him to Belarus. It will be a while from now, when he's been largely forgotten.

RWSGFY says

It won't happen. The US government directly intervenes in the stockmarket to prevent it from collapsing. WHEN it collapses, it won't collapse 40%, it will collapse 100%.

We are not in a free market at all. This is centralized control, and that will in time, and when it fails, it will be catastrophic.

40% is about what happened in '08. Government couldn't do shit about it. Regardless of attempts to control, all markets are still ruled by the free market. It's natural law, ordained by God. Example, even fucking North Korea has black markets...

Of course he will.

I don't know why people are surprised we don't have a judicial system. We're in a complete breakdown as a society. We're lied to about every fucking thing from pandemics, to war.

After a point, you have to just ignore the government. They have power, but they don't have authority. It's just a mafia now.

richwicks says

Of course he will.

Its a given that Bankman Fried will walk since federal criminal trials are in blue towns and cities, so at worst, the mostly or completely Woke jury will be a hung jury.

And a Democrat DOJ will just decide to not have another trial after the first trial results in a hung jury.

.

They might also do the same as with Hunter and simply delay trial for 7 years so that the Statute of Limitations runs out.

It's not Democrat versus Republican. That is a facade for the plebians.

It's criminal syndicate versus everybody else. Lindsey Graham has more in common with Nancy Pelosi in terms of their goals than then do with anybody out here.

This one was wrong too.

Van Jones now saying Biden's chances in 2024 are slim.

I predict the Dems are trying to rig the political environment so that all the Biden bad news eventually dissipates by next July or August.

This includes trying to rig it so the economy crashes this year and there is enough time for it to start recovery by June 2024.

The Dems can't allow a major stock market crash and recession to happen later than February 2024.

Also note how Saudis and Russia have agreed to oil production cuts for this year.

.

They are going to replace Biden with Newsom and take Trump off balllets.

Eric Holder says

Care to specify a timeline? Will it happen some time this year, this decade, this century?

Later this decade. The Ukraine war I expect to last around 5 years, if not more - I mean 5 years in total, if not more.

I suspect the West will push Zelensky to accept a cease fire and let Russia control Donbas and Crimea. If not, then they'll figure out how to make Zelensky lose in the 2024 election.

I think Israel is going to go in with force to Gaza and basically take it over, and occupy it, and dismantle the local (corrupt) government. Palestinians are going to reduced to a very low 2nd class status.

Easier to just fire bomb it to hell. Like we did to Dresden and Tokyo.

They can't just genocide them, if they did, it would be war with the Middle East. Really Egypt Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, etc. etc. etc don't care about the Palestinians but they won't just let a genocide happen.

My hope is that the Israelis impose an actual Liberal government, replacing the usual Palestinian Ba'athist, Socialist, or Islamist groups, that agrees to be the terminus of a pipeline and a freeport, which would make them a shit ton of money.

Then less barriers and more signatories to the Abraham Accords and bit more peace in the Middle East.

Not totally solved though because contrary to propaganda, the vast majority of the MENA fighting is Sunni vs. Shi'a, Arab vs. Persian, and Lots of Other ethnicities (Kurd, Turk, Assyrian, Druze, etc.) as well as Rivalries for regional leadership.

PedoIwog says

The bombing was a means to an end - the occupation and change of government for Germany and Japan. Not an attempt at genocide.

No fucking way. Watch the street interview of the average Jew and what they think of Gaza. You guys are so quick to spot in genocide in Africa, but blind as fuck to it in the Middle East. Seems the Zionist propaganda is working, you're blinders are fully engaged.

I'm not saying I want to see this happen, I'm just predicting it.

Look, I used to care about this conflict, so I learned enough to understand it. Israel has no intention of having a 2 state solution. That's just what they claim to Americans

If Israel wanted a two state solution, they can just declare their borders and whatever is outside of those borders us "Palestine". They could have done this 4 decades ago or tomorrow. They never will

Put in Israeli soldiers as an occupying force. One tank every city block with at least 100 IDF soldiers every square mile. So 140 square miles of Gaza means 14,000 IDF soldiers occupying it.

Put in their puppets or stooges if there are any on the Palestinian side; perhaps pay them off enough and provide enough security from them from being assassinated by their own kind.

The perpetual Arab slums of Gaza are walled off even more by Egypt.

The Arab world tolerates them more than Israel but would not be as tolerable if Hamas directed their hostilities at them.

Saudi Arabia is within 10 miles of Israel's southern border. Look at what they do to their own kind.
