Eastern Ukraine is very poor. The fighting and killing means no investments and no jobs for the last 8+ years.
Putin is annexing a bunch of people currently on the dole that bitch the Ukrainian government wasn’t giving them enough.
That, Plus the thousands of Dead Russian Kids he sent to slaughter isn’t going play well back home.
We all act like Putin can do no wrong and can never “mis-calculate”.
Not looking good.
We all know what Putin is about.....just as we know what Biden and this administration is about. However I view Putin in a better light then Biden because Putin does care and defends his country. Biden floods our borders with dangerous people and further invites more to invade!!!
Russia is an authoritarian country. As long as it does not get out of hand, it's nothing Putin can't handle. Sure. The Russian population might get pissed off. But that'll be about it. You'll have to get the Army and the FSB to turn on Putin and that won't happen.
