The coming collapse of Britain by Alex Krainer​

Everything points […] to a horrific cliff-edge looming […] an avalanche of debts, defaults, evictions and unpaid bills to follow.

". . . A series of bizarre developments that have unfolded in Great Britain over the last few weeks suggest that its financial system came to the verge of collapse, probably as a consequence of Ukraine’s debt default. The last thing the people in power will tell us is the truth, but if we dig in dark places and connect the dots, I believe the conclusion practically makes itself. The consequences for Britain, and probably for “his majesty’s” other dominions will be extreme. . ."

c_v,
Only you - and you alone - could deduce that: "China's take over of Russia is well under way. Vassal status awaits" from that article. As for your predictions: they've all been consistently wrong and, doubtless, will continue to be. As always, if you want to put your money where your mouth is - my offer of a wager remains open.

In this brilliant AI mash up based on The Wizard of Oz, Sir Keir Starmer tells Angela Rainer just how good life would be if he only had a brain. When it comes to Putin and Russia, the sentiment applies equally well to you!
If c_v only had a brain.
