    Right. I didn’t think Russia was going to invade either. But it’s still a fair crit. I was wrong. I admit I was wrong. You might consider it an opportunity for self reflection.

      As I’ve already said, I was wrong about my predictions based on the information available to me and my understanding of the geopolitical situation. I’m not sure what else you’re saying I’m supposed to self reflect on. Nobody can predict the future accurately, there are always variables that aren’t visible to us.

        Yes but you might consider that there are things not visible to you now. You tend to be quite strident on geopolitical discussions.

          I spend a lot more time following these things than most people. It’s always possible something surprising will happen, but so far things have progressed largely as I thought they would. I expect that in the next few months things will become much more clear overall as well.

            I am only recommending introspection and self criticism.

            You don’t need to defend your previous stance to me. I made the same mistake.
