Pretty much no serious experts thought Ukraine could win. The fact that so many leaders in the west convinced themselves it was possible shows that any serious debate is dead. They just surround themselves with sycophants, and live in echo chambers where everybody just repeats what they all want to hear.

If there's a 90% chance that something would happen a non-determinist would say there was still a 10% chance something could succeed. A determinist would look at what happened and figure out how there was a 100% chance it would happen regardless of the initial odds.

No even a realistic none determinist, the odds well under 1% 1/10 seems WAY too high

Smartest, most cogent determinist.

It's just what I happen to be thinking about at the moment, and it's only two threads. Would you prefer philosophy prohibited?
