Hi all. This is (and will be) a collection of articles from sources/journalists that I believe to be questioning power structures globally and in the US specifically. ¡Viva la revolución!

This is my opinion: War comes down to logistics. Russia has the manpower to win a war of attrition against Ukraine that will keep Putin popular enough to sustain his dictatorship. Russia's military failed to take Kyiv with the initial invasion; I do believe that Putin, being a former KGB agent, knows that a "rally around the flag" effect will take place in Russia (to an extent) long as there are battegrounds.

This opinion of yours sounds reasonable and comes from an understanding of how the wars and dictators work. I am not qualified enough to say if your understanding is 100% correct. But your comment does not openly misinterpret strategies and does not obfuscate war aims, unlike the article which does both.
