What is happening

[EndlessWire]

In the last weeks I have been an armchair general and an armchair admiral. Now, today, I am an armchair psychic. This is what will happen in the next few days:

1. shelling continues
2. the Olympics end, sending the Russian athletes home
3. the meeting on the 24th does not occur
4. more cyber stuff happens
5. more Russian troops arrive at the border
6. muddy terrain becomes a problem (I'd recommend seeding the clouds, but the rain would probably freeze coming down and turn into snow...is snow good?)

That is all. I must recline to contemplate more of the future.

1. I think that is the most likely scenario

6. Well, of course it is. n/t

2. Rookie.

Wait until you see my mad skills as Captain Hindsight.

5. Please apply to the Psy Corps

and become a member of the Psy Corps Auxiliary. Thank you.

8. I don't know if

they can afford me.
There are very few who are as skilled as I at telling other folks what they did wrong. But I will consider it I suppose.

9. Silly

There's no pay in the Auxiliary. You should apply for transfer to active duty. Anyone skilled at telling others what to do is always welcome.

3. If Russia invades the Ukraine....

(1) It's gonna be a long hard slog in the Ukraine,,,,for what? Ukraine casualties are on Putin. So are Russian casualties.
(2) Economic shutdown of Russian commercial transactions.

Which is gonna hurt Putin worse?

4. Ah, a customer...

Please put your dollar in the jar...thank you...

I predict that BOTH scenarios hurt Russia, but postwar sanctions may get him assassinated.

For what? To kill Babushkas...Putin hates grannies because they are universally taller than him. He hates grannies, and he's determined to get them all.

7. "but postwar sanctions may get him assassinated."

Don't get Putin's endgame, but I hope it happens sooner than later.

10. Are you asking a question?

Put $2 in the jar...the price just went up to accommodate the new cost of gas.

It will not happen sooner. The "technical military" threats must occur before the 24th in order to put in motion the plot to off him by those deputies in the Lower Duma who just don't like him.
