1. I never said the war would be over in a couple of weeks when it started. Yes Russia will win , but not in a few weeks. In early days I always warned a nuclear war could start due to Ukraine/West keeping escalating. Today I’m still saying this: A nuclear war is highly possible. It is you warmongers in early days who thought Ukraine would win the war. I didn’t think so then. I don’t think so now. My earliest stand actually is negotiation. See the famous uhnd peace treaty which, from today’s view, gave much more favors to Ukraine. Ukraine will never get what uhnd peace treaty offered. But it could’ve got it in first month of the war ( Istanbul deal is similar to uhnd deal. Ukraine considered signing it then). War has a consequence.
2. Yes, I said it is a special military operation. It is still SMO today. Russia hasn’t had national mobilization since 2022 and no wartime martial law invoked. All former USSR countries’ citizens, including Ukrainians, are still visa-free to enter Russia. Ukraine is opposite. How many rounds of national mobilization have been done? I lost the count. But at least 15 times.
3. My view on Russia-Ukraine war is firm, but we don’t need to argue about it again m again and again: Russia’s action of war is reaction to west/neocon’s aggressive action - eastward expansion to Russia border. Ukraine is just proxy. This war is provoked by the West/neocon.
