    Yes, I agree with you. I was just emotional… )))

    Yes, it was probably Ukrainian electronic warfare that deflected the Russian drone, or it was a Ukrainian provocation to draw NATO into the war. Ukraine is also provoking Belarus to join the war. This is all part of Zelenskyy’s strategy.

    What you and I predicted has begun: a frenzied wave of propaganda has recently erupted in the Ukrainian media. Every morning I open the news and it’s filled with headlines like: Russia has almost lost Crimea, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have broken through at the front, Russia is panicking, Putin is almost dead, etc. I haven’t seen such a wave in a long time. People are talking about the 1991 borders again.

    It’s been suspiciously quiet here lately. Not even the sirens are wailing.

    Kyiv has finally been affected. People are heading down to the metro at night. Everyone’s waiting for that blow.

    By the way, look, this is Yakutsk, where socialism still reigns… )))

    It’s as if time stood still there.

      I expect there might be genuine panic that Russia will open up another front from Belarus and threaten Kiev again. And that video was interesting, it’s good to see how much of Russia still retains so much Soviet imagery. I think that as people continue becoming disillusioned with capitalism, there is a real possibility of changing course. While I know we disagree on China, I do think that China, Vietnam, and DPRK being major allies and trading partners will help nudge people in the right direction. Now people can travel there easily, see how things are for themselves, and they will ask natural questions after that.
