I thought this was a very insightful video. Anders is often able to discern stark simple truths and their implications without falling into the trap of common misconceptions.

The prediction about what Russia will do on January 20th seems very likely to me.

Anders was one of the very few analysts that predicted Russia was going to invade in the months/weeks before their actual invasion.

I think people are forgetting Putin’s personality. He’s a brutal tyrant, yes, but he’s also a narcissist who cannot stand any sort of disloyalty or defiance. Long ago he committed himself (in writing) to the ideology that Ukrainians are Russian. He believes that Ukrainian people BELONG to HIM. So every day that the war continues and Ukrainians fight and die and above all else defy him, he takes as a grave insult that he cannot abide.

That’s why he will not stop until he is deposed or dead. He’s more determined than a pitbull to force Ukraine to bend the knee. He’s like a villain from Game of Thrones.
