WAR SUPPORT CRUMBLES IN RUSSIA AS REALITY BITES Z-bloggers are crying foul as war support crumbles on the domestic front. The cause of course, the price of fuel and shortages. Russian petrol and diesel has always been reliably cheap. Barely much more than cost price, in a country where you either

Though extra care is now needed. I’m not saying back off, but when those Flamingos start arriving in Russia, combined with the sense of reality dawning and trumps weakness, we’ll reach peak possibility of tactical nuke use out of sheer desperation

Have you watched ‘solovyov live’ lately? . It’s shown on Russian media monitor YouTube. New levels of desperate insanity Talk of 1000000 n Korean troops and allowing nato to keep Paris in negotiations Looks of embarrassment flashed around the room as he talks.

Time for the free world to step up the aid to Ukraine. And of course sanctions against muscovite terrorists must be tightened.

Ukraine has done exactly what they were told by Biden and now the Orange Idiot. It hasn't worked and never will. So now they are taking on Putin more directly. Ukraine alone will bring about Putin's downfall by the collapse of the crumbling Russian Empire. Flamingos Rule OK!! 🦩

Russians are reaching the bottom line - the line that makes society function and sort of liveable at minimum. Below the line is chaos and anger and no talk or threats from a dictator can make life bearable. The pretence is dropped and the gloves come off - the Ukrainians know this. Oil -it’s the key

fly(an increasingly risky option given the state of aircraft and spares), or you drive- fuel prices matter. Ukraine’s strikes are now said to have hit as much as 23% of refining capacity, and prices are spiralling upwards. Comparisons are helpful. Americans spend an average of 1% of their household

budget on car fuel. Russians are now at 17% and rising rather quickly. The scale of Ukrainian attacks are increasingly devastating. The days they sent a drone to attack one refinery are over - one attack was seen to have at least 8 near simultaneous attacks and the scale of the fires was staggering

The Z-bloggers are disgusted by the lack of air defences, the seeming paralysis in being able to do anything about the attacks and the rapid deterioration in public morale as prices rage and inconvenience mounts, creating disquiet. They see the economic impact too ad worry about what it’s really

doing to Russia as a whole, what are they not being told? When even the Z-fanatics start to question the whole situation rather than just the frontline’s inadequate advances, things are getting worse and fast. There’s no hiding the burning refineries - everyone knows - and that really does matter.

The war is coming home - and it’s not comfortable- add that to increasing censorship and oppressive laws, and finally Russians might start to question if this is all worth it.

I really doubt that the Russian people will revolt! When, except the Russian revolution in 1917 have the Russian people ever revolted there? It always amazed me that a country that gave us Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy or Gorky never had a real democracy or real freedom. It’s really sad.

1917 was ignited by Russia military defeat to Germany, plus the mass desertions. Unless there is a mass defeat of the RuZZian army on the front, there won't be a revolution. Unfortunately. The only "revolution" you might witness would be an internal coup against Putin, not driven by the population.

The Analyst @militaryanalyst.bsky.social

There is no viable alternate and they’re probably worse than Putin, but, they won’t be so attached to the idiotic narrative behind the war - which is after all Putin’s legacy path. They’ll be just as dictatorial but probably keen to get out of the war and start afresh. Or end up as he will.

It’s not easy to launch or use a nuclear weapon. Russians have been reasonably rigorous at preventing warheads being used by just anyone. They’re afraid it might be used by a rebel province against Moscow. But some kind of civil restructuring seems inevitable.

High time for Chump to put the boot in and add to Orcland's woes such that a cease fire could be on the cards. He won't however as he is too dumb to engineer such a feat or even perceive it might improve his standing. He is also busy playing with his soldiers in imaginary domestic crime locations.

Even if Trump got involved, Putin is now in a death spiral, and the only way to avoid a bloody end is to keep fighting. He will tear Russia down before he stops, because he knows that 1M+ angry and abused, AIDS infected, alcoholic/drug addicted, armed men will cause mayhem and then come after him.

Putin cuddling up to Trump will also make a bailout by China less likely. How much would a bailout cost should the EU hold firm on sanctions? It must be in the 100s of billions USD as Ru would need ongoing budget support and as its ‘economy’ is out of position.
