Remember, back in August, Alaudinov, a Chechen general, said that the war would be over in 2-3 months. No, it won’t end; it will drag on for a long time. The war in Ukraine.

Of course not. If it becomes absolutely critical, he may be forced to proceed. But mobilization is the last thing he would do. In response to the question: "He (Putin) won’t go for mobilization?"

In my view, her chances of getting elected are slim; in Putin's Russia, they are practically zero. Even in a post-Putin Russia, her chances won't be much higher, to be honest. On Yulia Navalny's chances of being elected president in a post-Putin Russia.

I think Ilya’s point is absolutely correct—that most likely there won’t be any peace talks before the elections, because that would be an obvious success for the Democrats. Putin can’t allow that. Referring to the U.S. presidential elections.

And since Ukraine will eventually get more long-range missiles—either the West will allow it, or Ukraine will develop them on its own using Western technology, as Yuzhmash is a powerful scientific and industrial complex that knows how to build missiles—they will build these long-range missiles themselves. And we, meaning Russia, will be on the receiving end. There's no avoiding that.

I think that "The Wonderful Russia of the Future" is a fairy tale that will not come true. It is possible that there will someday be a democratic regime in Russia. But then it will be a completely different Russia, and most likely not in the size of 17 million square kilometers. He means that there will either be no normal democratic regime in Russia, or if there is one, it will be in a territory smaller than the current size of Russia (hinting at the possible separation of some regions).

Reaching the banks of the Dnieper, and especially capturing the right bank of the Dnieper with Kherson and Mykolaiv, is obviously an unrealistic possibility. The most he can do is take Pokrovsk. He lacks the resources for anything more. Referring to Putin and the Russian troops.

I’ll allow myself to express an unpopular opinion: a realistic assessment of the situation suggests that it’s unlikely Ukraine will be able to push the Russian occupiers back to the 1991 borders.

Erdoğan has a better chance... Erdoğan's chances of winning are about 60%.

Finland and the Finnish government will never, at least in the near and medium-term future, agree to host nuclear weapons on their territory.

After the elections, Sweden will join NATO. After the presidential elections in Turkey in the summer of 2023.

Putin cannot leave. "Only in white slippers, or with the help of a snuffbox". Putin will not leave power voluntarily.

In social media, two proposals are competing. The first is to deliver a nuclear strike on Washington. The second is to rename the Special Military Operation to Counter-Terrorism Operation... I believe the second option will be chosen. Because of the explosion of the Crimean Bridge

It cannot be said that a nuclear strike is impossible... it can happen, but it seems to me that the probability is extremely low, and it would mean the end for both Putin and Russia, as well as for the collective Putin.
