I can't tell if they're implying that the use of the word "predicted" in the article's title is not accurate given the body of the article, which I somewhat agree with, or if they're implying that "predicted" is the wrong tense of the word considering the war hasn't started, or some other reading. That's why I asked them. I'd rather not jump to conclusions.

You’re entitled to do whatever you want.

But people who speak in dog whistles, even obvious ones like this, don’t answer when asked about their dog whistles.

I’m going to stick with assuming one word dog whistle comments with scare quotes aren’t made in good faith.

OP is of course free to refute.

I wasn’t dog whistling - what group am I supposedly trying to garner support for?

This was my intention. The title is misleading imo.
