    I know this is probably all posturing but y’all make me nervous after insisting there was a 0% chance Putin would invade right up until their aircraft crossed the border

      Yeah I can’t lie, that killed a lot of credibility for consensus lefty foreign policy predictions for me. Not that any other group has credibility to me, but now it’s just like whatever nobody really knows anything until it happens
