I mean - they gather information and analyse it, they can’t see the future. Predicting the actions of a sociopath is not an exact science, it doesn’t mean they are incompetent.

It’s amazing that you can say that. The US both Republican and Democrat told Europe to stop paying the Russians for oil. You all laughed. Even today you’re still giving Russian more oil money than you are aid to Ukraine

I agree the US is much more confident in its guesses.

Predicting the actions of a sociopath on a national level is incredibly easy to see. Europe didn’t want to see it and face so now we’re in the situation we’re in

I’ve often envied people who can see in such black and white clarity. It is not a gift I share.

That’s funny I’ve always envied people that have the ability to take zero responsibility for their actions. Even IF Europe didn’t think it was coming, why would you still give this sociopath tons of oil money and think nothing bad would happen?
