Just repeating my prediction ——— Europe has a mild winter, so does not knuckle under to Putin’s energy blackmail. Diseased Putin croaks by March 1st. Or the top dog Russians depose him in March 2023. Exiling idiot Putin to Sochi, to live under the Kremlin’s armed guards.
The Russian who succeeds Vlad calls off the war against Ukraine. A treaty gets signed. Sanctions get lifted. Rus leader will say, “It was all an unfortunate misunderstanding”
Patrushev is already making overtures to the West saying Russia would evacuate from all occupied Ukrainian territory except for Crimea in order to end the war. Oligarchs want the war ended.
