Comments by "Kasumi Rina" (@KasumiRINA) on "Why did experts fail to predict Russia's invasion of Ukraine?" video.

  1. Journalists at the time: Ukraine will not retake land formally declared annexed because NOOKULAR WRAAAAA, so Ukrainians liberate Kherson.

  2. What 33 years of peace? They invaded Ukraine in 2014, Georgia in 1993 and 2008, Chechnya in 1994 and 1999, Moldova in 1991, the only years of "peace" was a break after 2nd Chechen war until Georgia, so... almost 8 years of... not really peace, but frozen conflicts. War every single year before and after. How delusional Westerners have to be to claim that bombing Donetsk airport in 2014 or Tbilisi in 2008 is somehow "peaceful"?

  3. It was very easy to make predictions about russia doing what it always does, though.

  4. Proxy conflict? Proxies of whom, North Korea vs Lithuania? Put it off, this is a traditional colonial war of expansion, no different from their 18th century conquest in Siberia, Caucasus and yes, Ukraine.

  5. They were right on 1), 3) and 5), West is STILL blocking Ukraine from striking enemy bases inside their country, and Germany, Hungary and USA are blocking everything they can from Ukrainians to make sure ru doesn't collapse. Also every Ukrainian is jealous of the allies ru got, North Korea alone supplies more shells than entire NATO combined, I WISH we had support even half as good as enemies get from Iran, China, EU etc.

  6. It tells.how corrupt is Western media, always giving credit to liars and cheats like him over Ukrainian voices.

  7.  @markbryant4641  yes, he was immediately proven wrong, every single time. A broken clock is right twice a day, Mearsheimer is wrong always. A coin toss is right 50% of the time, so anyone who manages to be LESS right than a coin, is just INCREDIBLY STUPID. Like braindead. He's the dumbest person in the world.

  8. They have their own fantasy r&$@a with Tolstoyevsky and ballet. While in reality it's closer to Green Elephant that fetishes Fallout in an unhealthy way.

  9. Remember Bush Sr. Chicken Kyiv speech? Or Thatcher coming to Ukraine with one goal – to dissuade it from independence. These extreme right wingers told us how we need to avoid "destructive nationalism" and that can only exist as moscow's property. They did, archives are all there! Then for DECADES West kept disarming Ukrainians, not JUST taking away our 1500 nukes, but also destroying planes, AND giving Ukrainian bombers to moscow – we are still bombed by those planes we were forced to give them. There's pictures of Obama, as a senator, overseeing shells being destroyed. They did EVERYTHING to help ru%^& imperialism. Nobody trusts the West here, there's all basically puppets of Kremlin, blocking aid to Ukraine to save invaders.

  10. Self-deception. They invaded Ukraine in 2014, but it was more convenient blaming invented "separatists". The fact invasion was ongoing on 8th year just expanded wasn't a surprise for anyone who knew what the war was. And against who.

  11. russia didn't stop on Crimea they invaded Donbass next, and there were two peace treaties signed between ru and Ukraine in 2014 and 15, West pretended that it was with some fictional "separatists from Mars". While PoW exchanges were between Kyiv and moscow.

  12. It's just imperialism, nothing mysterious here. Why was Europe colonizing Indo-China & Africa 200 years ago and Americas earlier? They're just cosplaying that in moscow.

  13. A coin toss is right 50% of the time. A broken clock is right twice a day. "Realists" are literally worse off than just using a random number generator, they can't even come close to a coin toss in predictions as they're wrong 99% of the time. Same applies to major Western media like New York Times, the Bild, BBC (that literally paid millions to former Ukraine pres for libel) and Washinton Post. All of them are worse off than a coin toss in prediction. Yet these "experts" are somehow held in high esteem.

  14. This isn't just putin. It's what almost every ru citizen thinks, putin doesn't really have an ideology, he does that "uniting slavs" spiel only because locals WANT him too, that's what is needed to keep power, feed the bloothirsty population with wars. That's how he started in 1999, they would overthrow him if they have a decade of peace.

  15. ​ @SpiderDiscord  how does it matter? The fact they tried to take capital and bragged they'd conquer it in 2-3 days on state TV primetime proves it was always the intention. Being delusional about your power doesn't change that fact.

  16.  @stststefan  you're wrong. We have different strategic goals, NATO wants war to be limited to Ukraine, and prevent ru federation's collapse. That's their entire plan. Ukrainians OF COURSE want war to be in any country except Ukraine, and we are doing what we can to move it our (see Kursk & drones), also our main goal IS russian collapse, always has been. So that's why West does all it can to provide putin with missile components and block Ukraine from using any. So our strategy is diametrically opposite to corrupt russophile West.
