Funny enough THIS domino theory might prove true given the nature of decolonization (as opposed to the idea that everyone will adopt communism because their neighbor did, everyone wants to be free)

Excellent interview, although a bit long. It took me several sittings to watch it completely! 👍🏻😃 I fully agree with you that all those 'ex-CIA/MI6 experts' (Alexander Mercouris/The Duran, Douglas Macgregor, Scott Ritter, Alastair Crooke, Judge Napolitano, Dima from the Military Summary Channel, Larry Johnson, Phil Giraldi) who have been predicting a quick Russian victory are wrong.

Interesting is that most of those channels where those 'experts' appear are being pushed VERY HARD by YouTube/Rumble/Odysee/X, but every time I post a comment challenging their predictions (or exposing how ridiculously WRONG they have been in the past) it's either downvoted (Odysee/Rumble) so that my comment becomes invisible, or on YouTube my comment is simply erased.

I know you're a rational person Mark, but am I wrong in suspecting a massive CIA PsyOp behind this? These 'experts' APPEAR to be pro-Russian, but in another way they are also massively pushing a narrative that 'NATO is technologically inferior to Russia' and that the people of the US and EU need to 'rally behind the flag' and invest many more trillions into countering Russian military (hypersonic missiles, tanks, drones, SAMs, EW etc) technology.

Why would the CIA (= Google = YouTube = most US-based social media) otherwise allow (and push!) this kind of content, because if you REALLY post something controversial it gets deleted, or shadow banned? Or is it designed to divide the people into pro-peace versus pro-Neocon/pro-war?

p.s. the same goes for the predictions regarding the Gaza conflict by those same 'experts.' They (especially Macgregor) were making all sorts of outlandish predictions (Turkey marching through Syria to attack Israel, Hezbollah becoming involved, Iran becoming involved, Egypt becoming involved) and these predictions seem to have fuelled the calls for 'US intervention' and sending US aircraft carriers to the Eastern Mediterranean and Persian Gulf.
