Russia on the Ropes
This from Mike
The next revolution may be coming soon. Russia is reported to have lost 225,000 men in the Ukraine war and recruitment is said to be at 221.000. After this next election Putin is expected to go for total mobilization and those who can are leaving while they can. Putin may win an election and lose power if the Russian people say enough and demand peace with Ukraine. The war with Ukraine is getting worse as the UK just announced it is sending Ukraine 150,000 drones using sanctioned Russian money to pay for them, some of them are rocket powered drones developed by the UK. Russias air defense systems were not designed to intercept drones and Russias size makes it impossible to protect everywhere even though they are taking measures to intercept drone attacks. In July a joint NATO exercise that singled out Kalingrad showed Putin that his stronghold is not as strong as it appears. US, Italy,Poland Germany and the UK took part in the exercise with the Polish ground forces spearheading a simulated attack on the weak land point in Kalingrads defense while US and Italian aerial platforms covered them. The US brought in its high end electronic platform used to jam and detect electronic gear on the ground. Germany and the UK sent in 2 aircraft that reportedly shadowed a Russian sub in the area. The reason for this exercise was the Russians have been jamming GPS signals used by civilian aircraft in the area. Russia keeps compounding its problems by flexing its muscles while actually showing its weakness.

I do get my info from Western journalists but they back their stories with video evidence. The long lines of people waiting for petro come from Russian social media videos posted by Russians. The empty store shelves are posted on Russias social media. The mile long line of cars waiting entry into Georgia came from Russian social media. The fuel shortage comes at a time when Putin can least afford it. His strongest support comes from rural areas and these areas are being hit by the fuel shortage have wheat ready to harvest but it wont be harvested because there is no fuel for the harvesters.This hit will be felt hardest by the small and medium sized farms. A video showed bread being sold by the slice.Times are getting harder. There are also reports of soldiers not getting paid and these soldiers are getting letters from home of loved ones freezing from the cold because they have no fuel to heat their homes.Russias billionaires are unhappy because Russias economy is flat and if the trends continues will fall off the cliff and they are taking their money elsewheres. China is salivating at Russias plight ready to jump in and buy up Russias natural energy resources. Russias economy is shakier then a 7.5 earthquake.
