Înainte să anunț câștigătorii câteva concluzii:
- Per total, 27% credeți că Rusia va ataca sigur NATO, 28% că sigur nu atacă, iar majoritatea, 45%, credeți că ipoteza unui atac depinde de mai mulți factori încă netranșați. Țările Baltice sunt ținta cea mai frecvent menționată, urmate de România.
- Anul 2026 apare mai frecvent decât orice alt an, mulți credeți că Putin trebuie să acționeze înainte de alegerile americane din noiembrie 2026 (midterms). Trump e menționat mai des decât China, NATO, sau chiar Putin însuși. Factorul american domină analiza voastră. Xi Jinping e menționat mai mult decât orice lider european. Mulți credeți că războiul din Europa se decide și la Beijing.
- Avem și o serie de predicții în afara tiparelor obișnuite: vom vedea prima ieșire din NATO în următorii 3-5 ani, un conflict intern Grecia-Turcia exploatat de Rusia, dar și că instalațiile de gaze din Marea Neagră vor fi ținta principală a Rusiei.
Indiferent de ce ne rezervă viitorul, ceea ce e clar astăzi e că cele 5 cărți merg către: @ovidiutanase6071, @Paul-ys7cc, @minicatworkshop, @vgeorgescu, și @Cultlacap - felicitări, trimiteți-ne datele de livrare la podcast@dialogliber.ro cu un screenshot al comentariului vostru.
