Comments by "N Velsen" (@nvelsen1975) on "The Russian logic behind a war in Ukraine, 25JAN2022" video.

  1. For all the tragedy this excellent analysis foreshadowed, I find it comforting to realise most of that 'suffering for Russia's influence sphere' has landed in Russia itself. Make no mistake: This war is a huge tragedy for Ukraine, but in absolute size it's much worse for Putin's slaves so far.

  2. This war surprised me in the same way a supreme court ruling that did away with legal security of permits did: I was thinking "The worse scenario is so extremely dumb... Russia will be undone by sanctions. They'll be subject to 99% hate rate in all countries except the dumbest, the most moronic, the most immoral bootlickers like Trump-worshippers or India. China will seize Russia either economically or be rectifying the 'century of humiliation' to the detriment of the defeated putinists. Russia will lose tons and even at most gain very little..... There will be no war." Well... roughly 2 months after the video was posted I was mailing back&forth with the Ukrainian military attachee to volunteer. The guy rejected me based on me having small kids and not being able to sign for 1 year minimum, bless him. 😆
