So many darn armchair quarterbacks!

And I love it. Why such negative thoughts toward armchair quarterbacks? I get it. I get it. The whole concept that only Geithner is qualified for the job! Only this person knows this! You aren't qualified!

Well let me tell you something, these Cheeto stains didn't manufacture themselves. This build up of cheesy goodness on my fingers(all over the place, really) happened as a direct result of my hardcore research and deep studies. I'm a more voracious reader than George ****ing Bush! To be honest, I also think I'm more qualified to talk about any topic over that of W.

So lets drop some predictions when it comes to Russia/Ukraine. Ohhhhh come on now. You aren't above it. Post after post is dripping with potential future actions or possibilities.

My prediction:

We have two or three more weeks of intense warfare. The world is going to continue to act shocked as Putin continues to do what Putin does. At this point, Putin mainly wants the Port city of Mariupol and areas around it. Putin will be successful in this endeavor. Ukraine will accept it. The world will accept it.

During the next couple of weeks Putin will continue to kidnap or kill leaders in certain areas he wants to be very Russian friendly. It will work in a number of places closer to the Russian border. Again, the world community will accept it. Ukraine, not so much. It will be an issue in the years ahead. It won't be something that brings about lasting war.

Putin will pull out of most of Ukraine while establishing a massive presence in and around Mariupol. They will become far less spread out and really focus on very specific areas. He will bring many of his troops home to parades and victory parties. He will claim he liberated Russians. Everyone will view this as the end of the war.

I actually feel pretty confident about what I just put forward. What I'm less confident about....

Will the US be able to keep the world sanctions in place? If not, they were never worth it in the first place. All sanctions must remain as long as Putin is in power. I wish I felt more confident we will be able to do this.

Does Putin assassinate Zelenski? Hasn't been able to yet and I think he has probably given it a pretty good effort. I think he missed his window of opportunity on that one. Needed to happen within the first weeks of the war. This is going to be a serious problem for Putin moving forward. If Putin is who I think he is, he will not game-plan the assassination. It will be a very personal decision. He is just going to try to do it in the final days of the war.

Get your predictions on. This forum is already rife with them they are just mainly one-offs. And why shouldn't it be, it's a discussion forum and I'm confident the average intelligence and knowledge about these events are much higher than the average public.

Mom!!! Bring me some more Cheetos!!! I'm in deep over here!!!

If you want to question my thought process when it comes to interjecting a bit of light commentary while also talking about extreme brutality, fair game. No one is rushing in to save Ukraine today, tomorrow, or next month. Putins history of brutality is long. There is simply nothing at all I'm seeing that is shocking. I can't view what is well known and historically established as shocking. Putin apologizing and pulling out would be shocking. Putin taking part in war crimes and extreme brutality is his lifes work and the norm.

At least this primitive is putting themselves out there. Most primitives are too scared to venture too far away from the DNC talking points.
