    Nobody in the West predicted that? He said it when the Russian troops were already massing at the border.

    Shit, I already predicted it. I shorted the Russia ETFs which were liquidated last year (I made 90%+ profit)

      Yes, nobody in the west predicted that and the state department was even saying it was unlikely. Shit, you really should’ve called them up and told them!

                  There was zero chance of NATO accepting Ukraine in 1997 as anybody who has any clue at all understands.
