—“Thoughts on Putin?”—
I love putin. If he had handled ukraine without panicking he’d still be the most influential politician in the world. One mistake ruins a legacy. It would have taken truth. Russians have a problem with truth. He could have said: “We have traditionally invested heavily in the area, and we cannot have our only warm water port and our military manufacturing fall out of our control. This would produce strategic vulnerability that could lead to future conflicts between us. As such we are restoring our traditional control over the don valley, the crimean peninsula, the land route between them, and the russian people who have migrated and lived there over the past century. In exchange we will grant ukraine a 20% discount on gas for the rest of the century, and secure their banking system from volatility. We apologize to the world for having to make this unfortunate decision but it is necessary for world stability.” That’s it. That’s all that it would have taken. Ukrainians don’t like the people in that area. they had discussed secession in the past to rid themselves of the region. Putin is exceptional at ‘shrugging off’ idealism and sticking with ‘reasonableness’. Instead, he created enemies and ruined his legacy. The worst that would have happened is a wink-wink bit of criticism, and the generals around the world would have understood putin was right, and explained to their politicians the rationality. No one could have stopped russia, and no one wanted to.

Mar 26, 2020, 7:54 PM Um. He panicked. The ukrainian revolution spread to st petersburg and moscow and he had to crack down on it there. Secondly, it meant nato could take ukraine, the crimea, and the black sea, and leave russian with her artic ports only.. Third it meant his attempt to rebuild russian military capacity was done, because all the high tech equipment was in the don valley in ukraine near the coal mines. That’s why those two hundred and some odd ’emergency supply’ trucks went to ukraine – sure, they brought in arms. BUt more importantly they took all the precision equipment back to russia. Hence the’ little green men’ (russian soldiers without insignias) quickly arriving in crimea. They seized all the private property and redistributed it to russian nationals.. He panicked. The man doesn’t even use cell phones, tablets, or computers because he’s so afraid of the CIA everywhere. The russians are hella good at war plans so they pulled it out of the deck and set it off. They didn’t expect the ‘fight’ from the volunteer (militia) ukrainians – especially Right Sector nationalists. He’d spent years killing off the ukrainian military through their puppet president in ukraine. The military didn’t fight. But the ukrainians west of the dnipr didn’t want any repeat of generations of their families being murdered, or their opportunity for joining europe ended so they fought hard. What I found most interesting was his rapid nationalization of the press, and the manufacture of fake news – staging false testimony. Using video from the chechen war. Making up all sorts of nonsense. We were keeping track of how they were using the same actresses to fake different videos. It was hysterical. Ukraine had to shut off the media from russia and the trains. Russians still sneak in and bomb all sorts of stuff now and then. The idea is just to wait until they can seize the territory, cut the west of ukraine off from the black sea, open the land route to crimea, and incorporate Transnistria – and possibly moldova.

Apr 1, 2020, 2:34 PM I make the same argument. the CDC, Homeland Security, and Disaster Relief Organization, and The Treasury are either creating war plans and holding war games or they are wasting our time and money. Bureaucracies run by constant process rather than project deliverables, war plans, and shocks
—“In 2015, I urged world leaders in a TED talk to prepare for a pandemic the same way they prepare for war — by running simulations to find the cracks in the system,” Gates wrote. “As we’ve seen this year, we have a long way to go. But I still believe that if we make the right decisions now, informed by science, data and the experience of medical professionals, we can save lives and get the country back to work.”–
