This was a terrible prediction.You never NEVER negotiate from a position of weakness,...not unless you want to get totally rolled like a fool. But that is exactly where we find ourselves now. Meanwhile Putin can negotiate from a position of strength because he has what he wants now.
He is in Ukraine now and controls its fate totally.
If he chooses to he can grind it into the dust if he wants to,...
He can do whatever he wants. .
Ukraine is not Chechnya, Georgia, or Moldava. Ukraine is a large country with a substantial military, capable of inflicting significant damage. Western economic sanctions would dwarf those seen after Crimea.

To say nothing of what this signals to China regarding Taiwan.
I made some terrible predictions myself, but I didn't jump the gun prematurely like Stone and assume Russia would easily roll over Ukraine and dominate them.
Yeah, ok.Biden imposed sanctions. Putin saw the sanctions, laughed his ass off, told Joe to go fuck himself,...and then invaded anyway. Going badly?
He controls most of ukraine already. Furthermore,...the fake news MSM wont be able to hide it much longer.
Looks to me like Biden's plan is working, and in as much as you could blame him you can credit him. The world is coming together against Russia. Russia is feeling the pressure, and all without US troops on the ground. Good Job Biden.
Jarod turned out to be right. Biden has played this as perfectly as he could.
Yet he’s a drooling demented fool?
Obviously. Apparently your Obama care glasses do not work that well.
Then how did he manipulate the Ukraine war so perfectly?
He has not idiot. Ask any dead Ukranian how well he is doing.
…Jarod turned out tto be right. Biden has played this as perfectly as he could.
As the Ukrainians stand up to the Russians, and even push them back, it sends a signal to China. An even bigger signal is when the Ukrainians destroy Russian ships. Right now, it is questionable whether the Chinese could even land troops on Taiwan.
Again, Stone's predictions of easy victory for his hero Putin have not aged well.
I agree this is a lesson to China that invading a heavily armed Taiwan will be extremely painful, and possibly futile, especially with an American president that genuinely backs allies and associated democratic nations (aka, not Trump).
I wonder too if the Chinese military prowess has been overrated in the same way Russia's has

He looked at the sanctions, laughed at them, and told us to go fuck ourselves and he would do as he wanted. THAT is the reality of it all. Now if we want him out of Ukraine we will have to give away the farm because he is already there with no reason to leave,...he is the one dealing from a position of strength. With China's full support I might add. So what is the answer? Go to war over it? Is that what you idiots want? The answer is we are FUCKED now. Its too late. We will have to bend over and give him everything he wants to get him out, all his wish list on a silver platter....if were lucky enuff to get him to take the deal at all. That......or go to WAR. A stronger better administration would have sorted this out well BEFORE the invasion happened. A smarter administration would have brokered a deal well ahead of time that would have been tolerable to all parties involved. But no,.....instead we get this total humiliation brought on by a bunch of fucking dummies running DC. Now live with. Nothing we can do now,... too late.

Severe TDS.Last part first: The dummies are not running Washington right now. Trump was given a good ass-kicking; he and his bunch of know-nothing assholes are out on the street. Joe Biden and his people are now in charge. So you got that part wrong.
And as for the stuff before that...what the hell would you have considered better: For Trump to have helped Putin take over Ukraine...and lauded him instead of condemning him as Joe Biden has done???
What are you talking about here, Stone?
China is smarter enough to intimidate but if they can't do that, then they'll buy Taiwan one square meter at a time. Wars are hugely destructive as both Russia and Ukraine know.
BTW, this is another thread that didn't travel well. LOL
