Wishful thinking. Dictatorships only fall when a large percentage of the population rises up violently. The vast majority of Russians are drunk, depressed, and don’t have a frame of reference for wanting Democracy... especially more of the same Democracy that brought their dictator in anyway.

The National Security Journal is probably a Globalist/Neocon publication that people like the Trilateral Commission contribute to. IMO.

Would be nice.
Even if there’s no peace deal soon;
As long as military age Russians die, the world will be a safer place.

“state aerospace and defense industrial corporation Rostec with losses of $360 million”

I suspect it will be kept afloat.

Nobody knows what the real situation is in Russia. There are a lot of key players who are keeping their own counsel, waiting for an opportunity.

Putin has terminal cancer since 2022, too. I hear he did very well at the Alaska summit. Fox news described the meeting as "Putin steamrolled Trump".

IMO this is total BS. Compare the US to Russia socially. This country is way more unstable. Yet no one is calling for the social collapse of the US.

As soon as I see “Putin’s” anything, I know it’s a hit job. “Just the facts, ma’am… your bias is showing”.
