  13. The West was "surprised about Putin's invasion in Ukraine", I mean really, are you fu**ing serious about this right now? I'm an extremely simple, average unimportant private person and YouTube viewer, but even I knew, that the Russian's troops were congregating and piling up suspiciously close to the Ukrainian borders and in incredibly high numbers around the ~beginning of February, and so I expected/suspected and prepared myself mentally, that Putin was likely planning, to do something aggressive, like e.g. invading Ukraine - around the 15th or 16th of February, which was the date given in said video I saw back then - instead of the Russians allegedly "testing and parading their weapons", as Putin had claimed at that point. Maybe I was watching a super-paranoid YouTuber back then ... and admittedly, I don't even remember the channel's name anymore, but it's in my YouTube watch-history - and although the 15th/16th of February wasn't the exact date, the creator(s) still had been correct with this prediction; so of course I wasn't surprised at all, when I heard later on (on YouTube) about the Russian invasion in the Ukraine. & Tbh, even back then I was genuinely surprised, that nobody took that obvious Russian military-threat way more seriously, nobody warned Putin of necessary consequences coming his way and nobody had considered taking any preventive actions against this threat ... as to predict this invasion was truly easy and certainly no rocket science at all; but they all ignored Russia, while praying and hoping for the best... It truly would've been a really great, fantastic idea if all the western countries would've started discussing the possibility early on, that Putin might be be lying about his "harmless military-parades" ... and to come up with some effective strategies, to demonstrate unity between our western countries and to figure out different solutions for different possible scenarios early on - instead they're acting "surprised" now, that against all of their naive expectations, Russia's Putin did in fact do, what it had looked like right from the beginning; and now they're of course totally struggling and scrambling, bc they had trusted Putin's carefully written speeches full of his lies - I'm so annoyed and disappointed! However it seems, the West might still able, to defeat Putin's aggressions by destroying Russia's finances and other supply chains to his troops ... so now let's not lose hope here!^^ IF Putin really starts a nuclear war/WW3 and committs su1c1de - which I don't doubt he would in fact do, bc it fits to his personality-profile perfectly to spare himself the official embarrassment and public humiliation of losing his Ukrainian "blitz-attack"* - then the majority of us won't even notice much of it ... which is a huge advantage for us, at least imo. * Caution, sarcasm in action, this was the exact opposite of a "blitz-attack".
