Thumbs will become less of a “community retribution”.

The masses will become disenchanted with their self proclaimed hero.

Which masses and which here would be helpful to see if the prediction will have hit home.

and break an international trweaty? (Budapest memorandum) I think USA, UK and France are required to help the Ukarine then (And Russia of course, which won't).
I don't think Putin cares about breaking laws.

2022: I predict that the problem in Ukraine will remain FAR from resolved.

The criterion for resoved would be? A treaty? A memorandum? The integration of Ukrainr into the EU?

My question would be: When exactly can a conflict count as "resolved"? Obviosuly we have not het digested the wars of the Roman Empire (and their consequences)

You should be so lucky.

The Party votes yet another leader out, Truss has an almighty teary tantrum, Boris tries to come back, loses to Sunak by the smallest of margins. Fifteen more years of Eton rule.

I think you are close to the truth.

I predict Boris being back in leadership contention in about 4 years.

However I think the Tories will lose the next election, there will be a hung Parliament, cos let’s face it Labour couldn’t really win an egg and spoon race. After that the country will stall economically (not collapse) and the rise of the “anti-growth coalition” and wokism will lead to calls from the right for a leader who can galvanise both the opposition (which will be the Tories at that time) and the larger part of the UK into a decent majority.

Pondy, you can hold me to this 👍🏻

I would measure the resolution [or lack of resolution] by what the algorithms at YouTube are pushing at me. Once "Ukraine" drops out of my view, I will designate it "resolved".

Is that the modern version of out of sight out of mind?
