Arestovitch explained that it would take an attack by Russia to provoke an international mobilization that would enable Ukraine to defeat Russia once and for all, with the help of Western countries and NATO. With astonishing precision, he described the course of the Russian attack as it would unfold three years later, between February and March 2022. Not only did he explain that this conflict was unavoidable if Ukraine is to join NATO, but he also placed this confrontation in 2021-2022! He outlined the main areas of Western aid: "In this conflict, we will be very actively supported by the West. Weapons. Equipment. Assistance. New sanctions against Russia.

Russia's plan to freeze Europe to the point of capitulation has not worked out for them either. Europe is getting by just fine- with some strains at peak demand such as right now- but that only serves to keep them developing more gas drilling sites.

Oh look... Kashirin has learned a new word - "imbeciles". It's one of the few words that he can spell correctly in English. And now he slings it repetitively like a two year toddler shitting his diaper and shouting at the top of his lungs. Apparently Kashirin does not know what the word means -- the word he has been looking for is "intellectuals".
