I need to find the the two tweets I saved that address this. One, which is long explains that a revolt overthrowing Putin is very unlikely. It went on to say that it is more likely that Russia breaks up into multiple smaller republics, each with nukes. The other tweet, is a shorter thread quoting the Russian PM Medeved where he says the west's goal is to defeat Russia and break it into a bunch of smaller countries that are easily controlled by the west.
A third tweet. which I don't think I saved, another of those long threads, talked about how the various rulers of Russia over the centuries, going back 400 or 500 years were judged by how much of the surrounding lands they conquered. There is no changing their mindset. This is why you see the Russian politician talking about invading Poland and Estonia the other day. They have no means to do this anytime soon but it keeps the people at home placated because they can sit home happy, with an empty refrigerator, knowing that they are kicking ass abroad. This is also why the propagandist on Russia 1 channel was making clear that a treaty with Ukraine would be a loss and the end of Russia.
Russia is a mafia state. They rape, pillage, plunder, kill and seize lands. This is who they are and have been for close to a half a millennium. Reading all of this over the past few weeks, I now understand why Gen George Patton wanted to drive the Russians out of eastern Europe while we had the army there to do it. He repeatedly said that the Russians aren't like us; they aren't Europeans. They don't think like us.
I'll look through my bookmarks to see if I can find the two tweets.
