I PREDICT THAT AFTER RUSSIAN WITHDRAWAL FROM KHERSON, PATNET PUTINOPHILES WILL CONTINUE BENDING TOGETHER WITH PARTY LINE AND REITERATE WHATEVER WILL BE THE OFFICIAL RUSSIAN EXPLANATION FOR WITHDRAWAL, WHICH MAY BE ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING:

A. ORDERLY WITHDRAWAL FOR [INSERT REASON HERE]
B. A GESTURE OF GOOD WILL TO [SAVE CIVILIAN LIVES OR SOMETHING ELSE]
C. NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON LIBERATION OF LUGANSK AND DONECK REGIONS
D. ANOTHER CREATIVE REASON

It doesn't matter who wins or loses or whose explanation you may think is right or wrong, what matters is the outcome. I.e. either a swift victory by either, preferably the Ukraine, or negotiated peace, we are talking lives here. Also this team think similar to dividing people into jabbed and unjabbed. I don't think anybody is happy if putin takes Ukraine but I would be happy with a solution for the conflict regions and negotiated lasting piece, who gives a shit who is doing this out of goodwill or pressure, only results matter.

As a caveat, I know next to nothing about this conflict. One of my observations early on is that there's no way the West would allow Odesa to fall. Going from there, rivers seem to make good boundaries. Not sure how Kherson will shake out. Ukraine keeps blowing bridges in order to disrupt the supply lines. The one sticking point to Dnieper as boundary is one of the first dams on the Dnieper is a crossing point and the generating facilities are on the eastern side.
UN data shows 14,000 plus lives were lost BEFORE the war. A negotiated settlement (and soon) is essential to ending this. I assume the CIA is operating within Ukraine (to help out with targeting using satellite intel) and I sure as hell hope Putin doesn't bomb (or nuke them) in desperation. As John Mearsheimer points out, the longer this goes on, the more likely we are to have a catastrophic escalation...

Shall we place bets on the outcomes? I know you all have the dime I tipped you each. Unless you gave it away.

I predict that interest rates will go up later this month.

Very difficult to predict. Bloody stalemate, revolution in Russia (or State funeral for Putin poisoned by his associates, which is revolution by ruling FSB class), or Russia becomes an analogue of N. Korea.

YES. ENGLISH SPEAKING GAY NEGROES ATTACKED RUSSIAN LINES WHILE ON DRUGS.

And this is not a joke, something like that was on one of Russian Telegram channels.

Ruscia can't be settled with. It always comes back to get the whole thing. Case in point: Chechen republic. Ruscia tried to go in with force, got a bloody nose, negotiated a settlement, rebuilt their military - came back. Heck, Ukraine itself is a better and longer example: none of the treaties with Ruscia was ever honored by them, starting from the very first one - Pereiaslav Agreement of 1654.

PS. The idea for this thread was to keep in clean with predictions and links to predictions only. Otherwise it will drown in the usual noise.

LOL! Battle of the propagandists. Pick your poison.

There was an article on Telegram about gay Western mercenaries fighting for Ukraine with their own gay uniform patches, a unicorn I believe. I didn't see any blacks, but I could believe they are on drugs, the issue comes up pretty relentlessly.

I thought you have been on Patnet for a while...what is the chance of a clean thread.

That is probably the dream of closet RU army gays - OVERPOWERED BY ROUGH NATO SOLDIERS

In Chechnya, they still hung onto traditional values - they dremed of "Baltic female snipers in white pantyhose"

How's this for bold (or stupid, take your pick)?

Kamal Harris will be remvoed as VP. Hillary will be appointed the new VP by Biden. Biden will then step down. All before the Ides of March 2023.

(Taking a page from the Nixon playbook)

Hillary will then run (and win) in 2024 AND be eligible to run again in 2028.

I wasn't preventing someone else from predicting it before I posted it!

Gas prices will jump about $1 after the upcoming elections (once they stop spending the strategic reserve).

Within 10 years, the continuing death toll from the clot shot will have exceeded half a billion people worldwide.

No one will notice or care.

Four hundred years after the death of Charles II (who produced no legitimate heirs), one of his descendants will ascend to the the throne.

* This country will never have another presidential election.
* The dollar will collapse
* SW Engineers will be replaced by farmers as the hottest job market

ZipperTits will run out of tit pictures.

It will be discovered that some dinosaurs had technology at least as good as the current Amazonian Indians. Betting this on the extremely long history of the dinosaurs and relatively short history of humanity.

Republicans will gain both House and Senate in the midterms, or yet more flagrant election fraud will be apparent to all. One of the two.

Hunter Biden will die in unclear circumstances when the FBI gets rid of him to protect themselves.

Trump will run and win in 2024. The economy will quickly improve after his election.

The Democratic Party will spiral into oblivion like the Whigs, to be replaced by something more based in reality, at least at first.

In the long run, it will be found that the vaxx killed about 1% of those who took it, by a wide variety of means: strokes, heart attacks, immune dysfunction, cancer. It will still be mandated by Berkeley and Harvard.

It will also be found that a significant fraction of women who took the vaxx are now infertile from it. And it will still be mandated by Berkeley and Harvard.

They'll have to cheat so hard on the midterms, they will have to recalculate the census to include the extra 60 million voters.

Patrick says

Hunter Biden will die in unclear circumstances when the FBI gets rid of him to protect themselves.

Does anyone ever wonder why his brother died so early at this point? Brain cancer at 46 did him in? Seems highly unlikely. I know 70 year old alcoholics still pounding it. They seem like a puppet family. Me thinks Beau had to go for some reason. Don't know what that reason is, but a wealthy(ish) family connected and dying at 46 is rather rare. I don't know, has a mafioso type vibe after all the revelations with Hunter and his shady dealings.

I still think the vax is going to be a death sentence for most people.
So many have already died and been uncounted by criminal governments. Deadly cancers are spiking now.

An anecdote from real life:
This student representative to the board at our local community college district was BIG into pushing mandates for the jab. She was very vocal and demanded the mandates be as harsh as possible. Of course she was vaxxed and boosted. A future doctor I’m told!
Fast forward a year, and she’s recently been diagnosed with fatal liver cancer. Doctors don’t even recommend treatment as it would just shorten her already short time left.

Dying of this vax is going to look like SADS, cancer, strokes, heart attacks, neurological debilitation, mad cow disease, and immune system failure (AIDS).
Best of luck to the jabbed here. Maybe you’ll beat the odds.

That's crazy, did she have any history of drinking or hep b? Otherwise healthy? My guess is that anywhere between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1000 will die early, which is still a lot, considering billions have been jabbed at least once. Some recent numbers floated were as many as 1 in 70. It also depends on how many jabs one had, esp. for the vaids part, so my guess is a bit more conservative. Going by 1 in 100 you arrive at 50 million casualties, so we're talking Spanish flu numbers here.

Everyone I hang with is the "textbook" definition of alcoholic. We all raise families and are responsible. Not that DUI's are a metric for health, but only one DUI in my core group of friends (not family....). My dad died of liver cancer and was a modest drinker. 12-16 drinks a week would be my guess if that.

Fact is alcohol is bad for the liver. BUT, the biggest X factor is when you mix it with other things which many/most do. First reaction of many of my friends is to pop a Tylenol the next morning to cure a hangover. You're quadrupling down on liver damage at that point. Anit-depressents mixed with alcohol same thing. People are sold on too many pills. Just golfed yesterday and my shoulder is torched. Like I can't raise my right hand, pain to the ear and foot from it. I'm taking nothing. I was drinking. Haven't taken a pain pill in over a decade.

When we know Covid is a flu bug, just take care of yourself. Hydrate. Eat good foods. A vaccine is not necessary at all for this virus.

100% agreed. The number of alcoholics in the US, esp. womyn, is very high, probably higher than most other countries. They are also the ones who take acetaminophen (tylenol) and other drugs for anything. I'd say 80% of people who die prematurely of liver issues harmed themselves with their drinking and drugging. But 20% do have other causes (hep b, auto immune disorders, bad luck/genetics etc.). I think if you're otherwise healthy and carry enough weight 1-2, occasionally 3 glasses a day are fine if you go to regular check ups, but only if you don't mix with drugs and exercise regularly, which many don't know. Regular exercise is key to a healthy liver. Not always easy to keep moderation if you're around very good wine and good buddies - but as you get older hangovers intensify and last longer, so you hardly get really drunk anymore

NAC (before drinking) helps some. Also sulforaphane in the diet.

Yeah I usually forget taking NAC, thx for the reminder!

I only do NAC when I feel something coming on, or when I'm sick. I know I've seen it listed in many spike protein treatments.
My wife's naturopath recommends she take it daily.

Hydrate

Whenever I'm feeling run down, I make sure to drink as much water as possible that day. All day. It makes a huge difference in a couple few hours.
