- Omicron will create natural immunity to COVID and lead to the end of travel restrictions by the end of the year.

- Russia will dispute eastern Ukraine, and cut gas supplies to Europe leading to extremely high energy prices in Europe and increasing the gap between living standards in the US and EU.

- Le Pen will narrowly lose to Macron in the second round of the French election, but the Zemmour + Le Pen total will be a majority.

- The Swedish Democrats will enter government in Sweden with the Moderates. But little will change in practice.

- The Republicans will win in the mid-term elections due to growing economic concerns.

Seems like someone successfully predicted Russia invading a country (Ukraine).

Another one, even more accurate with the energy crisis we are having right now in Europe.

Early 2022 the fears of Russia invading were real. They were downplayed and not talked about much in the mainstream but come January many already saw what Russia was up to.

Mostly it’s just that many of us, Ukrainians included (I speak from personal experience - I have Ukrainian close relatives), closed our eyes to Russia actually pulling the trigger. It is just unthinkably stupid and so, so disgusting.

That said, this comment was spot on, and not just on Russia: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29746942
