2/2

reports Sir Alexander's predictions of coming war (May 2016, prior to vote which emboldened against & NATO).

Given that military intelligence must have known the general's predictions, how come they were surprised by attacking in 2022? If not surprised, why did they not warn ?

Or did they warn him & did he ignore them because mattered more to him?

1/2

I started reading recent history to trace the steps leading to invading - plenty of warnings in last 10+ years from e.g. PM of 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.

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 into a nuclear wasteland rather than be 'unmanned' again, this time not just secretly to himself alone but to the wide world.
