Yeah, sure. How deep Putinomics are already inside people's brains shows the Us politics thread. The demagogic comparisons made there recently have no more mental sanity in them, are as abstrus as it gets. The internet media play into extremists' hands.

Russia wages allout war against the West on several levels, economically, media, diplomatic bribery to win support by bystanding countries, assassinations.


Still, opposition to Putin in Russia never was as strong or widespread as western media paint it as. Just yesterday the BND said they have zero indications for an imminent loss of control by Putin, too. Since years we get told that Russia is economically close to collapse.

Lets face it, thd sanctions are simply irrelevant for Putin determination to have this war. Winter is an old ally of Russia at war. In the coming months western mood over Ukraine will dramatically change. He knows that.
