How much damage can Russia sustain before they face internal pressure to end the war?

Neither the Blitz nor allied bombing of Germany ended WWII. The US bombed the heck out of Hanoi and still that war raged on.

As much as I’m cheering on every Ukrainian strike I am not hopeful that Putrid will give up.

forces -- military, intelligence entities, criminal oligarchy, his own people -- say enough is enough, and he chokes on a fish bone or falls off his horse?

By the way, the eventual fight to divvy up Putin's booty after he is gone will likely look like a mob war among the Five Families, on steroids.

It wasn't pretty. This one might be less so. As though one collapse of a nuclear armed power wasn't scary enough, Putin has lined them up for a redox.

facing existential threats. Russia is most definitely not. In fact, Putin is still not calling it a war, fearing its unpopularity. And potential draftees have been fleeing the country in massive numbers since 2022. To the point that Russia had to close its border to draft age men in 2025.

It was one thing when the cannon fodder came from the remote oblasts in central and east Asia, and the centers of power, St. Pete and Moscow, were virtually unaffected. They're being touched now and they don't like it.

These deep penetration raids aren't just about Russian public opinion. They're also about cutting off Putin's only significant source of foreign funding. Without that, the Russian economy is running on worthless slips of paper and very well might collapse. Outside of fossil fuel, there really isn't much to it.

it’s a gas station w nukes.

Out-of-Business gas station with nukes!

Remember when Putty sounded like Dimwit Donnie talking about the Iranian war? It was supposed to be over in a matter of days according to Putty.

This isn't going to end well for him or the Russian government.

Does anyone know if there is a resistance movement within Russia?

The Russian people for the most part cannot be happy right now, especially as the war comes to their front door, while taking their young men as well.

Meanwhile, I am so disappointed in the mainstream media. There have been some extraordinary stories coming out of Ukraine, but very little reporting on them. The American people have a short attention span and Trump sucks all the energy out of the room.

when the environmental damage starts affecting the health of the ppl, they remember who started it.
whatever comes next in russia starts in a deep hole.

when gas and diesel were supplied to Moscow and other big cities but not to rural areas, meaning fertilizer couldn't be delivered because the trucks had nowhere to refuel to make it back to their point of origin,m so yields were always going to be lower even if farmers had stockpiled diesel for plowing and planting.

This is peak harvest season and there is little fuel anywhere, so much of the harvest will spoil before it can be brought in. The weather has also not cooperated, sending rain instead of sunshine.

Russia is fucked. People there don't know it yet because their media tell them everything is going according to the master plan. I just wondeer what will happen when it dawns on them that hunger is part of the plan./
