An unexpected event inside Russia involving President Vladimir Putin or his inner circle could enable Ukraine to take back Crimea by the end of the year, the Ukraine’s deputy defense minister Volodymyr Havrylov has said.

He referred to the "Black Swan" theory in which an unexpected event upends previous calculations. "I think Russia can face a 'Black Swan' in their country, inside Russia and it can contribute to the success of us with Crimea," he said.

"We can step in Crimea for example by the end of December," Havrylov said, which was "possible" and "not excluded."

When asked what that unforeseen event could be, Havrylov replied, "Putin disappeared for example due to some reason," which was "physical or political."

"Or somebody from his circle, something happens, or maybe a combination of a very disillusioned society," he added.

Billionaire (Bloomberg) apologizes over Boris Johnson’s China remarks – media​

New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg has reportedly been forced to apologize to guests at a business conference in Singapore after former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave a speech condemning China as a “coercive autocracy.”

The ex-mayor of New York City and failed Democrat Party presidential candidate acknowledged to the approximately 500 Asian businesspeople and diplomats at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum that some guests may have been “insulted or offended” by Johnson’s comments, The Guardian reported on Friday.

“To those of you who were upset and concerned by what the speaker said, you have my apologies,” Bloomberg said, adding that the ex-PM’s incendiary remarks were “his thoughts and his thoughts alone.”

Rather debating how to constructively solve the self-imposed energy and industrial problems, how to reduce the anglo-american yoke over europe, get competetive wrt to chinese again, we talk about their whiteness being not white enough, jungle vs. garden, Chyna, Chyner, Wiggher KZ, whatever.


Seriously what are they smoking, can't be good for your health.

I think you're reading too much into this. Both Xi and Prayut are too mature for this sort of thing. Leave the buffoonery of power moves to the Western clowns.

This !!! +99999...

Instead of being honest for a change and self reflecting on their misdeeds, they keep blaming others for their absurd and at times atrocious behavior, dragging Germany and the rest of Europe deeper into a hole. Unbelievable how these children, clowns and nutjobs ever got an audience , let alone into positions of power and influence.

That's just a fancy way of saying for "we hope for a miracle".

And is that the policy now? Keep using Ukraine to prolong the war hoping for a 'Black Swan' in Russia?
