There's a growing internal tension in Russia. The population grapples with an inherent trust in their leadership and a desire to believe in their nation's narrative, versus the disturbing news they hear from external sources. The regime has responded by stifling dissent, but significant public resistance exists beneath the surface.

Brig. Gen. Peter Zwack gives his insight into the war in Ukraine and shares his experiences of living and working in Russia.

Every country in a serious war, works hard to control the narrative inside its borders.

It is not clear the Russians are more successful than others. Modern technology makes control of the information flow difficult.

Depending on the situation, control of the information flow to and in other countries may be of greater importance.

In Word War I and II, British control of the information flow to the United States took on great significance. In both cases, the dominant theme was to bring the United States into the war on the side of Great Britain.

When Russian tanks were just outside Berlin, Hitler told Albert Speer that he blamed the German people for the Third Reich's defeat. It will be interesting to see who you'll blame for Ukraine's defeat. You certainly won't blame yourself and I don't think you'll blame the Ukrainian people. My guess is that you'll blame the critics of your stupid military plan that had no chance.

Interesting in that Peter B. Zwack is marketing himself for interviews and articles and books and speeches with speaker fees aplenty.

Let’s see, who has accomplished all of their stated goals and who has failed at everything, getting 400,000 Ukrainian boys killed along the way? Everything that’s shoveled out over at the media masters’ feeding trough, inevitably gets recycled here.

“It will be interesting to see who you’ll blame for Ukraine’s defeat. “

Pontificate. Pontificate. Dance to the music.

“It’s a special military operation. It’ll be over in a week or two, and the Ukrainian People will greet us as liberators.”

“Calling the special military operation a war will get you 15 years.”

Oh cut it out, the Ruble is every bit as strong as it was
once upon a time in a land far away, with interest rates
climbing faster than a chimney sweep.

Besides, they have that basket case China to back them up.

Bwa ha ha ha ha...

Certainly not Russia. Or else, why is it still fighting the war it started?

--- "He knows from whence he speaks, and has paid his dues to earn it."

As have so many others on "both" sides of the multi-sided dicussion. Time will tell.

Predicting the future seems the order of the day. For all competing views. Yea, team! Or yea, some other team! Looking behind the scenes with a certain amount of skepticism seems warranted. That's all....

Historically, the Russian people will accept a LOT of suffering .... if they think that there is a real threat to Mother Russia. This is why of am of the opinion that Ukraine should refrain from responding using attacks that kill Russian civilians.
