Pundit has been running  helter skelter  on this wall non-stop. He should desist from claiming any "I told you so".
Let it be remembered it is yours truly AoH who called in correctly on day 1 of the what imperialist  called "a special operation". The internet never forgets. We can start with this citation:

Ukraine will not dare defend itself; they are going to lay down arms; the current president will end up in exile. Eastern Ukraine will go Russia way - and the new president of Ukraine will be pro-Russia.

The western allies have no stomach for war.
You have no idea what Nationhood is. You think defending what is yours is only a preserve of the Kalenjins people? You think people can be done a 'Kiambaa' and they take off into exile, become refugees or head off to some perceived 'ancestral land' even after being uprooted from a land they were born and they have never known any other place called home? Amb Martin was right to call it that we are in 2022 and some mentalities are 'dead empires'. Putin thinks it is a sprint. Nay! It will be a war of attrition! An insurgency in Ukraine will commence the arrival at home of Russian body bags. Isolation from Europe, the West who will not improve the livelihood of ordinary Russians when discontent mounts. I doubt Putin can count on inward looking China.
Hare brain Putin has already forgotten the shellacking they received from Afghanistan. Did USSR not collapse and Nations declare their independence? Vietnam humbled a super power. Never underestimate the power of Nationalism. It is what got Israel a state in the first place. It is only a question of when not if Russia will eventually be broken up into tinier pieces.
