Well, being stationed in Moscow/St Pete region would allow you to have the pulse of your fellows. But not on Xi's ...
You can of course explain why the FSB arrested protestors holding invisible protest signs.

UPDATE: Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops have lost about 15,600 personnel, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.
The enemy also lost 517 tanks, 1,578 armored fighting vehicles, 267 artillery systems, 80 multiple rocket launchers and 47 air defense systems.
In addition, 101 aircraft and 124 helicopters, 1,008 vehicles, 70 tanks with fuel and lubricants, 42 operational-tactical UAVs and 15 units of special equipment, as well as four ships were destroyed.
"The data are being specified. The calculation is complicated by the high intensity of hostilities," the General Staff stressed.
Maybe it’s the country I live in.
Who believes this crap?!
Stat data is of interest to many.
Ukes have admitted 10,000 casualties, including 2000 killed. By the way, the Russians haven’t taken many cities. The war is grind on both sides.
I always rule of Thumb double the dead number
to estimate the total soldiers injured and unable
to continue fighting.
So I figure Russia is down 60,000 or half their
initial attack force from day one of the invasion.
And the Wagner, Syrians, Chechens they brought
in got wiped out. Go Ukies Go. OOORAH.
I figure much of the foreign aid should be
available by next friday. Then we will see
the Ukies kicking Butt.
It ain’t over till its over.
And it’s likely as accurate as CoupFlu data.
I’m sorry if I sounded like I was shooting the messenger.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t post this.
But to my mind this data is as hinky as the interesting single source for all the satellite shots we’re being spoon fed.
FWIW, I think this so-called war is another scam.
Innocent Ukrainians may be paying a price.
But not our circus, not our monkeys.
Ukrainians claim big Russian losses, minimal Ukrainian military losses, but big civilian losses.
Russians claim minimal Russian military losses, big Ukrainian military losses, minimal Ukrainian civilian losses.
If Putin is removed, he will be replaced by someone who can get the job done.
Thanks to all.
Zenjitsuman, I do appreciate knowing this calculation technique.
BTW, don’t miss this article, very informative!

Russia doesn’t claim any of its losses at all. The UN claims about 3000 civilian casualties, most in Donbas, presumably by Ukrainian artillery. There are rumors of 20,000+ Ukrainian KIA, said to be from the Ukrainian internal sources whereas the real numbers are about by 50% higher. There is an increasing number of Ukrainian POWs approaching 8,000. Russian and combined allied losses are believed 3-5,000, mostly within the LDNR militia.
And your facts? Same issue.
Because of the poor quality of the Russian tanks...each weapon that penetrates the vehicle...those three sitting inside are ‘goners’ (those numbers we should not argue about). If you watch the video of hits where the tank survives the first hit...those three guys are climbing out in a hurry and worrying about hit number two coming shortly. They don’t come back to the vehicle, and just assume it’s a lost situation.
When you build crappy equipment for war-time, confidence levels spiral downward when you have to use it.
They lost their’s in combat. How much of our hardware did Biden give away in Afghanistan?
Some speculation of temporary replacement of Putin.
But, remember when Russian attacks became more cruel. I think I read somewhere, Nikolai Patrushev had actually begun leading the Russian invasion effort.
That might be why the brutality increased for Ukrainian citizens.
IF your friend falls to the surgeon’s knife, the job will fall to whomever has the most clout among the other thieves and murders that run Russia, regardless of an any interim appointment.
And that guy will be looking at an impoverished military, suffering huge losses of men and materials, plus he’ll have to continue to keep a lid on combat deaths internally. He’ll have to decide to keep the losses going in the face of worldwide headwinds or change policies.
Internal resistance may be the Kremlin’s undoing. Its a fine line, not all can walk. And arresting protestors carrying invisible protest signs is not the way to go.
And confront a creeping China in the Far East ...
And tell me STUPID Liberal why do you believe our WORTHLESS LYING Media?

The mark of a troll is to keep calling people names and making false accusations while dragging the thread subject in another direction by conflating issues. And, of course, never answering the question put to it.
You are daydreaming. The public consensus in Russia now is that America is the enemy, shared by all stratas of population from peons to the elites. China is viewed as a lifeline, even if self-interested.
Maybe it’s the country I live in.

You could always hire a coyote and get into the US easily, plus all the tax payer, citizen funded free stuff you’d get.
The weather in Moscow is a bit chilly this time of year; once here. you could pick the state of your choice and get a free bus or plane ride to your new free home in a warm state.
You might pick southern California as it would make a good fit for you.
I live in the Philippines but it’s not listed as a locale in FR so I choice Japan.

One thing you fail to understand is that protestors do not represent majority.
