I think judging by the posts on this instance, a lot of people here didn’t think that Russia would take military action against Ukraine. I was one of those people. Hell, even yesterday I wasn’t expecting to wake up to this. But I think it’s safe to say that that position was incorrect.
I’ve read opinions from communists on both sides now that it’s happened of whether the military action was justified or not, but it seems that few are reflecting on the fact that we were wrong about the prediction that there was not going to be military action. Personally, I’m very surprised that this happened. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts.
The Fake News MSM has been spamming claims that multiple wars were going to start tomorrow for many years. It is natural to disbelieve those claims.
I still remember them repeatedly reminding everybody that military intervention was ‘on the table’ with regards to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The Brazilian and Colombian governments even offered to participate.
How unprepared Ukraine was for this proves that they really had no idea what was going to happen, and weren’t betting on Russia taking military action.
