Så vad kommer att hända nu när Ryssland oundvikligen håller på att förlora kriget?
Diskussioner om att Putin börjar kasta omkring sig kärnvapen får ni ta här:
(FB) Kommer Ryssland använda taktiska kärnvapen?
När ryker Putin? Vem kommer att ersätta honom? Blir det folket som gör uppror eller militären eller helt enkelt en av hans närmaste som tar hans plats?
Eller sitter han kvar och låtsas som allt har gått bra och den som inte håller med får prova på en flygtur från femte våningen?
Citat:
Vladimir Putin cannot win. But Ukraine can. The only questions are when, at what cost, to what extent — and what happens next. That is the verdict after seven months of the bloodiest and most destructive war Europe has suffered since 1945. Ukraine’s army is already bigger and more effective than Russia’s. It gets stronger every day. The Kremlin’s armed forces are disintegrating before our eyes, demoralized (literally) by their bad leadership, botched planning, and poor logistics.
Don’t take my word for it. Look at Russian talk shows, the sounding boards for the Kremlin propaganda machine. Nobody now believes this is just a “special military operation”. The word “war” — once taboo — is spoken regularly. Recent military setbacks are discussed openly too. Asked to explain the loss of the logistics hub of Lyman, Andrey Gurulyov, the once-bombastic former deputy commander of Russia’s southern military district, blamed “constant lying”, from the bottom to the top. Seconds later, his Skype connection dropped. Maxim Yusin, a political editor on state television, said: “It’s hard to argue with dreamers who live in their own world”. That sounds like a barely veiled attack on Putin’s delusionary bombast. As military practicalities and political aims diverge, the Russian leader has scored a geopolitical first. He is claiming to have annexed territory from which his forces are in headlong retreat.
