Peter Zeihan has been pointing this forthcoming invasion out since 2014... pretty much everyone ignored him.
"If my grandmother had wheels she'd be a bicycle"? Did he learn it that way or just clean it up? I learned it as "if my grandmother had balls she'd be my grandfather." The latter seems the appropriate analogy. The former seems to undermine all analogy.
so, Mr.B dared make a few calls that came out wrong- ok-at least he is going on the record and summing up what he thinks of a situation- we watch him because we see he isnt silly about the facts and gives probable results, and that's why he has an audience; an intelligent discussion and stated direct conclusion/expectation.
“Putin broke 30 years of peace” There was peace because Russia was patiently protesting NATO expansion to the East but NATO despite warnings from seasoned diplomats kept on moving east close to Russia’s border. Finally, Putin issued a warning in his Munich speech in 2007 and drew a red line over any further expansion. Then there was 2014 coup in Ukraine engineered by US which resulted in annexation of Crimea followed by a referendum, breakaway Donbass regions that were victimized for 8 years by Ukraine government militarily. The conversation in the West completely ignore talking about it when discussing the conflict.

That is not the reason Trump was ridiculed. Trump was ridiculed because his manner of speaking largely relies on carrying out campaigns of actively disparaging anything and anyone who doesn't already agree with him. Take it as a learning moment: If you want to make a consequential statement, do so in a way which doesn't rhetorically incinerate those who might disagree with you. If you ever want to persuade anyone of anything, it'd be best to create a pathway for those people to save face, to pivot to a new idea without looking humiliated. Trump did not understand how to do this, and the ridicule he faced was entirely avoidable if he just took a less vindictive path. Again, take it as a learning moment.

Ian Bremer knows a lot, but he uses his knowledge to push his agenda without coming out and saying that. Listening to him makes one feel he is coming to his conclusions based on the weight of the entire body of facts.

The word Nazis is a misnomer. Russia calls "They must be followers of Hitler" all unemployed men from west Ukraine who organize protest marches in ethnic Russian neighborhoods. They march through ethnic Russian neighborhoods and in Russian speaking towns such as Odesa with burning wooden torches in their hands. These men ride by motorcycles, new and old, starting across Ukraine from either Kyiv or Lviv City to organize protest marches and to create chaos in Russian speaking towns such as Odesa. Not a single arsonist either in Ukraine or the USA and not a single arsonist living in the western hemisphere, as mentioned in many Forensic Files episodes of the US, were ever followers of Hitler. Internet research at the time indicates: These incidents of arsonists marching through Russian speaking towns like Odesa, KKK style, happened before the war of 2022. An arsonist or ethnic Ukrainian protest marcher marching with a lynch mob in Russian speaking towns of Ukraine is branded a Nazi by Moscow. In Ukraine, ethnic Russians and Cossacks were likely always stupid, as they used to sign up for military service for the last 50 years. This created an opportunity for ethnic Ukrainian military officers, most likely to sacrifice ethnic Russians by fighting wars after war by sending them to Donbass and the salt town near by. Ethnic Ukrainians of central Ukraine and west Ukraine were more interested in increasing their populations. and to stay Intact and alive during earlier wars, most likely. From what I had read, military officers hired by Kyiv are predominantly ethnic Ukrainians. Possibly four years ago, there are KZread videos. That time, large motor cycle borne groups of men, many ethnic Ukrainians along with some ethnic Russians in their ranks would travel on old motor cycles and new motor cycles to ethnic Russian speaking cities such as Odesa. Members of the Deep state of the western hemisphere may have possibly promised , although I doubt that, these groups of men coming from near Lviv and from near Kyiv, large sums of money or financial aid up to a trillion dollars, in exchange for burning down houses of ethnic Russians in Donbass or Odesa city or elsewhere. These non Nazi gangs are usually from Lviv area or Kyiv area. These marching groups with KKK style burning wooden logs would march through town after town. In one attack on a building in Odesa as seen on KZread they killed 40 people. These attacks inside a building in order to kill 40 ethnic Russians in that building in Russian speaking Odessa. Anything which will bring in a trillion dollars in aid to this non NATO member is acceptable. This is reported on national TV in Russian Federation. Someone in Russian Federation says, "Gosh, About 200 followers of Hitler have just reached Odesa by motor cycles from Lviv city. Now these followers of Hitler want to various ethnic Russian neighborhoods of Odesa and other Russian speaking cities and scorch their houses. Theses followers of Hitler are marching through these neighborhoods with burning logs of wood." Fact: These threatening marches happened. Fiction: These are not followers of Adolf of Hitler.

The problem in the west is that we have completely taken for granted the intelligence and knowledge that countries such as Russia, China and India (not 5th largest) have. We underestimate the socio-economic impact they can have. Ukraine was carefully planned and it is well underway to achieve what they (Russia, China en allies) have intended all along: bleed dry Europe, cause civil unrest, manufacture an energy crisis, strengthen their block and collaboration and ultimately bring down the dollar which is with its days numbered by the way. The only thing holding the dollar at the moment is the US military. God helps us that happens, we will be in for WW3. To my point, Putin knows EXACTLY what he is doing. I sincerely regret the media in the West cannot report the truth, West politicians' hubris and shortsightedness are harming more than helping us to understand the critical moment we live in now. Only a clear long view of history can give us the understanding we need to go through this difficult time. Since both the media and politicians are after ratings they refrain from telling the truth. BRIC's currencies have been outperforming the dollar, few weeks ago the Vatican now order all assets to be transferred to the Vatican Bank, what is going on that we are not being told about.

@@Zerox_Prime Try look up the Minsk 2 Agreement. The Ukrainian government is not in charge in Ukraine. I pray for peace, but cannot help someone that does not to help himself. This war could have been avoided back in 2014. Unfortunately in order to implement the one world government countries are pushed to take sided in which case good bye cultures, traditions and normal life.

@@Zerox_Prime If you do your home work and I don't want to be mean, you will find out that before the Russian army built up Ukraine had between 80 to 100 thousand troops close to the Russian border. This is confirmed by military experts. Ukrainian army since 2014 killed around 14,000 civilians in Donbass with the help of the Azov battalion, which was trained at some stage by the Canadian military. The Azov battalion is the nazis. As for killing civilians, you are right, I watched many videos on the ground reported by independents. The civilians were stating the the Ukrainian army wad shelling civilians, confirmed by two French reporters, one of which has filmed some such events. The remaining of the Azov battalion will lynch Zelensky if hey can lay their hand on him.

@@nickstoic2944 This claim about Donbas casualties is completely incorrect, but very common. If you look at either the Russian State official statements, or the UN figures with which the Russians align, you will see about 14000 total casualties. Not 14000 civilians killed by Ukrainian shelling. The breakdown provided by thes sources is between nine and ten thousand combatants from both sides. Between four and five hundred Russian military. Between three and four thousand civilians - and these as a result of both sides actions. Look it up.
