This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

When you thunk about their demographics, I mean it's currently Moscow and St. Petersburg with 100M poor supporting that lifestyle and natural resources. It's only getting worse.
I think tuckee crossed the line a while back. He is seemingly a shill for pootie, while pulling pay from Faux news.
His followers are in thrall to his “message” and will walk off the cliff when given the signal.
Those two guys manhandling him in the cell are about to be mobilized and sent to the. front.
"M2 Bradley 47 OMBr surrounds Russian positions with high explosive shells M2 Bradley 47 OMBr covers Russian positions with high-explosive munitions "
Just like WWII Russia ends up winning because they are willing to throw more meat into the grinder than their opponents.
Hope not true but could see Musk claiming that this levels the playing field or some such nonsense.
The cost of Russia’s collapsing empire
Chaos is spreading across Eurasia
“Ukraine’s counteroffensive has stalled, and Vladimir Putin is once again blustering as if Russia were a first-rate power. The problem, paradoxically, is that it is not. The damage his country has sustained throughout the course of the Ukraine war has been substantial. Russia has lost 2,200 of its 3,500 tanks in Ukraine, and 315,000 out of 360,000 troops, forcing them to launch recruitment campaigns and raid the prison system. And even if, on full war-footing, it currently looks like it could force Ukraine into accepting that large swaths of its territory will remain under occupation for the foreseeable future, Russia itself has been substantially weakened.
Over time, a weakened Russia will likely be a harbinger of chaos across its periphery. Empires since antiquity have provided a solution to chaos. But empires, as they collapse, leave chaos in their wake. History has provided no solution to this conundrum.
The pattern is usually the same. An imperial hegemon cobbles together a domain of many ethnic groups, forcing them to lay down their arms against each other. An empire may last hundreds of years and yet build nothing except a tenuous inter-ethnic truce. This has been the story of the Russian Empire and its shadow zones in the Caucasus, the Balkans, stretches of Central and Eastern Europe, not to mention stretches of Siberia and the Far East. But as the hegemon weakens, fights for control of territory between one group and another commence.“
Continues…
I guess further evidence things are not going well for Ukraine. Hope he has a plan and the power (people and equipment) he needs to get things going in their favor again.

Hopefully Tucker Carlson is in one of them.
Explosion at a Russian factory that makes ICBM components. It could just be sloppiness, but this plant also makes components for the Iskander missiles that have been pummeling Ukraine. That would be a prime target for sabotage.
Interesting statistics in the article about the surge in industrial accidents in Russia this past year.

Small in numbers, but Russia seems to be pressing Syrian mercenaries into action in Ukraine. This article mentions around 1000. That is not significant in itself. What is significant is that the might Russian Army needs to bring in illiterates from Syria to catch bullets. Their manpower and morale issues must be staggering.

I'm quite certain some of these attacks are being done by Russians
More description of the Moscow fire.
"Moscow, Leningrad Avenue (Leningradsky Prospekt).One of their buildings burned last night. The fire spread to neighboring houses and roofs began to collapse. People shout for help from the windows."
