Russia and Ukraine

[ShinyCrystals]

So, what are the odds of Putin having a possible protest from any of his people crushed and quelled, given that he has lost many army soldiers in his little war in Ukraine and how poorly he is doing with his war on Ukraine, let alone his poor leadership?

It really depends on how well-resourced his domestic security organizations (FSB, RG, as mentioned above) with both humint and sigint, not to mention resources for analytics and force-application. And though Putin's leadership of the war is certainly shoddy, he's an old spook. I bet his response to internal dissent will likely be more competent, assuming he remains a sound mind.

Thanks for the explanation. While Putin and his forces may be tough, I do not think he will go unopposed for long, however that ends up.
