We are now beginning to enter the stage of the war where Russia is unable to sustain a general offensive all the way up and down the frontline and must resort to terrorism to project fear and the illusion of unstoppable, corrupted power.

Expect more and more of this crap as Russia is less and less able to credibly fight a ground war.

Remember, acts of terrorism definitionally rely on propaganda creating mass panic for their power as if the perpetrators of the terrorism possessed true power they would have resorted to actual coordinated military action such as fighting on the frontline or taking territory.

In otherwords if Russia chooses to attempt something like this, it is by definition a sign of extreme weakness on their part as was the lazy attempt to claim Ukraine tried to assassinate Putin.

Why would it be unreasonable for Ukraine to take out Putin? It’s a war.

[-] amorangi@lemmy.nz 13 points 1 month ago

The only way this war ends is with Putin's death.

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 11 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure it would end it. The next person to take command would have everything to gain by winning what Putin couldn't. He'd also have everything to lose, but in Russia, you don't make smart choices, you make dumb choices and blame someone else when you fuck it up.

I'd argue the smart thing when succeeding Putin would be to end the war, tell the world it's a new Russia, and start getting Russian assets unfrozen.

I hate to tell you this but it'll probably end with putin alive and ukraine ceding territory.

[-] Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

That's a surprising claim.

How would that happen?

[-] ChristchurchAsshole@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago

A result of a loss of manpower and eventual loss of political will to continue the war. The parts that Russia controls aren't coming back to ukraine except maybe the last 30km where russia hasn't set up proper defences.
