“And yet 90% of his commentary and predictions come true”

Did he say that?

If one played the scenario where Russia ends up economically destroyed....with Putin ‘out’, Russia could dissolve into a dozen-odd states and no longer being a adversary...leaving just China.

The US military industry probably would not want that type of ending.

America continues to embarrass itself as it continues to run an expired propaganda playbook less and less even believe. Boomers still watching cable news perhaps and of course leftists who live on a diet of cult-like deep state nonsense being the holdout exceptions. But for most people, it just further accentuates the decline of American institutions into farce. It’s all lies propping up a corrupt sick political elite.

The naivety in 47 is strong.

“The amount of naivety in the West is staggering, when it comes to dealing with Russia. The majority of Russians live their whole life by pushing others. It starts from childhood, permeates in every aspect of their lives and never ends. If you don’t push back, they will push you all eternity.

“Pushing back is no escalation, it is necessary. Sanctions are good, but they are not enough, let alone talks. You won’t convince Russians to make peace, you have to make them. Mikhail Khodorkovsky makes this point clear ...

“I’m always fascinated when people refuse to accept the simple answer: military force can only be stopped with military force.”

Number one, it’s a border war and will never end. Number two, if oil prices get down to $40-$50, Russia won’t be able to afford the war until the next Democrat is elected POTUS.

ALEXANDER MERCOURIS [COUNTRY CYPRUS]
disbarred attorney in London. Become a “pro-Russian commentator on world affairs for Russian TV news outlets and websites.”

*LOW CREDIBILITY with promotion of Russian propaganda, a lack of transparency, use of poor sources, plagiarism, and failed fact checks<<<<

___________________________________________________

You, of all people, commenting on a source’s credibility is a hardy laugh, “REVEREND”-mommy.

Your sources are the Ukraine Ministry of Defense, talking points from Zelensky’s office, and media and monetized youtube channels sympathetic to Ukraine.

Kind of correlates with something I saw here once:

The French will die for love.
The British will die for honor
The Americans will die for freedom
The Russians will die.
