If the US proves to be able to weather these economic headwinds of $4 - $8 a gallon for gas, it will collapse Russia. I think it is likely the US will prevail and prove the West is still in control of the world for now.

I think the end game is coming into focus. Putin will likely not succeed in toppling Zolensky's government - at least not for now. But if he can get Ukraine to accept Crimea as part of Russia and the Donbas as independent republics, then he can go back home and claim he established a buffer zone between him and the "bad guys" in Ukraine.

That said, I think the political elite know that Putin overreached on this one, and it'll be interesting to see if there emerges a threat to Putin's regime. If there is, I wouldn't assume that any potential rival is going to be nicer or any more democratically minded than Putin is.

kind of Breaking , Terrible news for Putler: more THAN 4,300 PEOPLE ARRESTED (absolute record ) at anti-war protest across Muscovy




Good to see that dozens of American and EU companies are pulling out of Muscovy or suspending their services, And not everyone in Muscovy is on board for USSR 2.0.

As Russia Touts Convict Labor To Offset An Exodus Of Migrants, Some Fear 'A Return To The Gulag'

Russia’s prison service says that 600 convicts will begin work on the Baikal-Amur Mainline railway this month. For some human rights activists and government critics, the idea of using prisoners for construction projects looks like a return to the gulag.

Putin's finding out that controlling the narrative is much more difficult than it was in the old Soviet days. Simply calling the other side "white nationalists" only works on the really stupid people.

Analysis: Putin’s claim that war on Ukraine is to target Nazis is absurd. Here's why

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s selective telling of the past exaggerates the legacy of Nazism in Ukraine while ignoring the state’s historic struggle for pluralism and democracy.

Russia is quickly approaching hyperinflation territory, which is why Putin's looking for an off-ramp. The problem is, the world needs to come to the realization that nobody's safe with Putin in charge of Russia. The sanctions should remain in place even after Putin withdraws forces. Unfortunately, I think this will cause some rifts and friction among allies.

If they can't rebuild their military they are in bad shape when their offensive inevitably stalls and collapses.

It's going to be funny when Ukrainian troops expel the Russian invaders and retake Crimea.

Russia's army is logistically out of options and they're apparently not that competent after all. I mean, what, three or four top generals -- generals?! - dead?! In like a week?!

Unfortunately, they've got lots of artillery and bombs. And they can control the checkpoints. But a few weeks from now, they're gonna need gas, food, and things that keep Russian soldiers from walking off the job. That's why they'll have to get out of Ukraine. But they can probably occupy the Donbas and keep the ports. They can choke and torment Ukraine economically, especially if they partially withdraw and can get some of the sanctions lifted...which is probably what Putin is counting on. He wants to divide the alliance over sanctions.

They would need to resupply wherever they want to hold. To do that they're going to need the supplies.
