Or it’s all just bluster on Putin’s part, as he gives up pushing the boundaries to see how far he can go before someone eventually stands up to him.

You're not watching that at all though. Russian state TV isn't showing their boys being shot down. Their state TV is still stating the special military operation rhetoric and that the people of Ukraine are supportive of the Russians.

Its a different life there than Korea, they are getting the message and by looks of it moral is on the floor, sanctions are working, as laughable as it might be, McDonalds that great beacon of Western Capitalisms leaving will be huge for them, he is clearly losing the people and thats key. And he wont go nuclear, the bloke aint got the guts.
Facts are facts, these things never end well for people like Putin, we never look back and say "you remember that jumped up war criminal, he was a good guy". This is all borrowed time

yeah, because it doesn’t track with all of the evidence seeping around the sides of the propaganda

Given that he won’t let anyone within 20 feet of him at a meeting as he so frightened of catching covid, hard to think he’s excited about being obliterated by a nuclear warhead.

They have freedoms though, Russians are well travelled and can pick up all media globally....they are not the closed loop being made out

Im not being blasé but I just dont see it, even the invasion is half arsed because his end goal is not the end of the Ukraine its to reclaim and will in part include in his mind the people. Keep hearing over the last 20 years "ohhh his finger will be on the red button" never ever happens, its a popular thing to say though, not saying you but the media churn that idea all the time
depends how fortified his nuclear bunker is I guess.

Indeed. I don't believe nuking everything is part of his all conquering Russian hero narrative.
Thereby lengthening the lifespans of the older generations and pushing the likelihood of democracy further into the future.

I'm not sure about that. George W has been wonderfully re-branded as a nice old pensioner that paints a bit.

Life expectancy rises by a decade and obesity levels collapse. I'm not sure how that's supposed to help
It's been a problem for a while now.
Apparently the UK and US offered plenty of aircraft but Ukrainian pilots can't fly them (haven't been trained to, anyway).
I think it was the US who had this smart idea and it's a good one.

I've seen the suggestion on twitter (so yeah), that it's a master plan by Putin that ends in him climbing down and selling his nukes to the west for trillions of dollars.
He can keep the nukes, we'll take the oil and gas fields and the rare metal mines.

People don’t like Putin but they are still patriotic, and they of course feel for their soldiers and own prospects. A quick look on SM and you find things like this posted by reasonably educated Russians. There are plenty who side with Ukraine too.
