    If you’re anyone in the Russian military leadership you basically can’t have a routine that is in anyway public lest you fear for your life.

    And it’ll only get worse as more dissatisfied vets come home. There’s going to be a lot of patriotic leaning Russians who felt their military and efforts were wasted and they’ll be pointing fingers.

      I wonder if they’ll point the finger in the right direction. We have many decades of experience of dissatisfied citizens simply taking their rage out on the current culture war target instead of actual oppressors.

        I mean there’s gonna be a lot of finger pointing. And by design, the Russian infosphere is impossible to navigate.

        So you’re just going to have hundreds of thousands dissatisfied vets pointing their fingers everywhere.
