    Yea I’m not too in the loop on this topic, but following, and I’d like to think I understand people, especially bad people, and if anything this just acts as a destabilizer for putins power consolidation, and that is good for Ukraine regardless whether both parties are pos, which they are.

      The thing that’s worth thinking about is that most of the Russian people can’t really resist Putin because the military are all on his side and put down protests.

      But if the military would have switched sides they’d be far less inclined to put down protests against Putin. Theoretically this could lead to a full on Rebellion.

        I’m wondering if and how things will change when it gets to their door step, as far as the Russian people vs Russian military dynamic goes. I’m not gonna pretend im in the know, culturally, and all the nuance, but I’m learning more following the story. Thanks for that insight.
