I'd make a ton of money if I could buy put options on the fantasy forecasts produced by your narcissistic nationalist's reality-distortion field. Post-culmination armies never reverse their opponents' momentum. I'll go with General Ben Hodges' forecast: Ukraine retakes Crimea by next summer.

Your Bucha disinformation got you in trouble with Medium. Do you have the same view of the mass graves uncovered in Izyum after six months of Russian occupation? If so, you're in the same category as Alex Jones and his conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook crisis actors. Since you live under Britain's libel laws, you might consider the financial consequences of publishing your Alex Jones-like conspiracist fantasies.

There are lots of Ukrainians in London, some with good lawyers.

You live in the UK with the benefits of western constitutional freedoms and dismiss them as "Nazism". If Mother Russia is such a virtuous avatar of civilization and democracy, why not move back there instead of living amongst her "Nazi" enemies? Why insist on remaining exported Russian talent, along with the other 1/2 million who just left to avoid becoming cannon fodder mobiki. You must prefer self-medicating your anti-western grievances and ambivalence about emigration with reality-departing victory fantasies. Repeating Peter's visit to Zaandam to learn some fundamental rules of Western and Russian history would be therapeutic. The Dutch invented the bond market, the fiscal-military state and created the modern world. The English copied them and the Americans copied the copy. Everyone else learns, adapts and copies this model of state power limited by contractual bond market covenants (the rules above the rulers and not vice versa, as in Russia), or stays poor. Russia's economy is smaller than Texas and rapidly shrinking. The Dutch taught the Spaniards that war is a culitural and fiscal enterprise. The Peter that lived in Zaandam understood this and would say so to Putin if he were alive today.
