My prediction was entirely incorrect. The third has come and gone in that part of the world. Well, not quite - but it's pretty obvious my prediction was wrong. I guess I have until midnight, eh? That's four hours from now in Moscow and Kyiv.
I thought for sure he would just wipe out their capitol for that. Coupkraine is a beard for NATO - a mask.Those shaved apes had nothing to do with the actions inside Russia. Hell, they were an incompetent kleptocracy BEFORE they became NATO's captive stooge.
No, it was all NATO from soup to nuts. My gamble was that Putin would destroy Ukraine's government in order to unmask NATO - to deprive NATO of a green t-shirt to hide behind.
I underestimated his patience. His game is far above my ability to analyze. He's playing on multiple chess boards. The man is a grand master.
I think it isn't as complicated as all that. They have to regroup because losing a big piece of their military array has left them weaker. Any escalation/retribution may bring more attacks to have to deal with. The Russians have to assess, reallocate, make a different plan. All this takes time.
Once the sting from the punch in the nose is gone, I think it's game on, ****.
It's just practical rather than masterful.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
