“We may be at a point where the Ukraine war gets much, much worse – rather than some kind of peace agreement, says this Oxford historian.”

Ignoring the nonsensical sentence structure, it makes me wonder why this academic has a magic ability to predict the future.

He would be better placed buying shares instead of commenting on wars.

But the author did add that “maybe”.

So in fact it’s a completely useless piece of information.

I could say “We may be at a point where the sky will be red tomorrow.” Same thing.

(postscript: it wasn’t, it was somewhere between the usual blue and grey)

And in any case, what action could anyone take even if the academic was right?

It is an unfalsifiable opinion without actionable outcome, dressed up as information.
