The psychological pressure over Russian citizens matters just as much as the war on the frontlines.
Russians must know that their country is at war, that their president is the only one responsible for that war, and that when you attack someone without reason the other party has all the right to strike back.
Russians should be annoyed with the man who caused that war, to the point of feeling the urge of replacing him.
They shouldn’t go through a business-as-usual scenario while their president drops bombs on civilians.
The black clouds over St. Petersburg while the city prepares to host the International Economic Forum, and 20,000 international representatives are there, are a well deserved humiliation against a declining and decadent regime.
A couple of years ago the supporters of the Czar were very loud in repeating how Ukraine couldn’t win this war, how it was supposed to accept whatever deal imposed by the Russian invader, and how powerful Russia’s military apparatus was.
Fast forward a couple of years, and Russia has lost a whole generation of men to this stupid war (either through casualties or emigration), its logistical supply lines are permanently disrupted by the Ukrainian drones, and it’s forced to use Soviet-era weapons, trucks and tanks after the Ukrainian drones have destroyed everything they built in this century.
Russia was stuck in a 20th century idea of conflict, with frontlines to push, heavy artillery and traditional aviation to do most of the job, and vulnerable supply lines that stretch over hundreds of km of railway and roads.
#Ukraine has drones. And they didn’t need much else.
While Ukraine destroys military planes, oil depots and railways without killing anyone. Russia can only react by dropping bombs on civilians in Kyiv.
Because that’s what bullies do when they feel trapped and outsmarted - they resort to gratuitous violence.
