    I like to repost my mother-in-law’s posts about how she 100% guaranteed Russia wouldn’t invade Ukraine. (From 3 months before the start of the Ukraine war.)

      Ouch, I said that too. I honestly thought Putin wouldn’t be that stupid, because the guerilla war that followed the occupation would be insanely costly.

      But I’ll admit I was wrong.

          Yea, we thought it wouldn’t happen because of all the bad things that would happen to Russia as a result.

          And all those bad things happened, and more.

          But we forgot that when it’s about a dictator’s grip on power being on the line, none of that matters. It’s all about the dictator’s grip on power.
