It's becoming clear that everyone below Putin wants no blame for the fiasco of the Ukraine war, so they will salute sharply and obey orders even if they are counter productive.

If he dissolves parliament, there will be zero mediation between the Russian people and the Russian state, not even the weak expression of discontent we are seeing now. Only the very unstable balance between Putin, the security services and the Russian military will be left. The incomes of many powerful men in the Russian military and arms industries must be getting hit hard by this war. I wonder how long Putin will last unless he replaces them with incorruptible fanatics, a dim possibility.

Putin will dissolve the Russian Parliament. Watch.

And Putin's Russian subjects will shut up because they're sheep.

Putin will be fighting a two front war since it looks like it’s about ready to kickoff in Dagestan. Again. Russian supremacists are playing with fire and they will get burned.
