And here is what the thread is all about...
🇹🇷 #Türkiye has started sending to #Ukraine #cluster_munitions of #American design, manufactured during the #Cold_War, writes #Foreign_Policy. These are dual-purpose conventional munitions (#DPICM). They are designed, in particular, to destroy armored vehicles, and each projectile scatters 88 rounds. The first deliveries took place in November, although neither side officially announced it.

#The_Guardian reports Sir Alexander's predictions of coming war (May 2016, prior to #Brexit vote which emboldened #Putin against #EU & NATO).
Given that #UK military intelligence must have known the general's predictions, how come they were surprised by #Putin attacking #Ukraine in 2022? If not surprised, why did they not warn #Johnson?
Or did they warn him & did he ignore them because #Partygate mattered more to him?

I started reading recent history to trace the steps leading to #Putin invading #Ukraine - plenty of warnings in last 10+ years from e.g. PM of #Finland #Gorbachev and many academic commentators. But politicians never listened.
Sir Alexander Shirreff predicted war with Russia but was mocked. He was wrong on details but right on the basic trend of history. NATO member states' political leaders should have listened.

I suspect #Putin was terrified when #Cold_War ended, leaving him stranded in #GDR. But he could never admit it, has been in denial ever since. Hence his #hyper-macho public persona, over-compensating. Hence his hate for West (& disavowed hate for post-USSR Russia) which revealed this truth to himself. If so, this pathology means he would turn #Ukraine into a nuclear wasteland rather than be 'unmanned' again, this time not just secretly to himself alone but to the wide world.
