"We might see the elite beginning to think, well, basically, either we break with Putin now or we risk finding ourselves hanging from a lamppost in a week or a month or a year's time."
Putin's glum demeanour at his inauguration likely reflects the 'brittle' state of his regime, Prof. Mark Galeotti tells Frontline on #timesradio

The Tsars actually had a succession plan. It didn’t always work as planned, but there was a plan. Even the Soviet system had a group of bureaucrats who were in a position to choose a successor. But if Putin dies or falls the succession becomes a complete free-for-all. It’s even possible that Russia will break up into different cities and regions, each controlled by a different warlord. And none of them will be able to control the buffer states that border Russia.

A Trade Union did it in Poland but there are no such institutions in russia, and no opportunity to set up any such body that could attract popular support without their leaders being arrested and jailed for ficticious offences. It may be a battle of oligarches for advantage as the economy fails and they are called on to pay out for Putin's ambitions more than they gain by their illegitimate ownership of former state assets. They may even combine, and deploy their combined militias to challenge Putin's private militia - the russian army has no appetite for defending the Kremlin (witness Prigozhyn's march on Moscow which met no real challenge). Putin is losing control. His end is coming.

Some good points here. It is worth to give thought to the fact that a union can be formal and informal. Not only that, it took one video of Putins lavish estate via a drone on KZfaq to really propel country wide protests. With the idea that an informal union fueled by a slowing economy, and reinforced by Western outlets of a failing Russia, it is possible for a grassroots movement to maybe not overthrow, but force the hand of those who own such corporations. As Mark mentioned in the video, the Russian elite consists of opportunistic oligarchic kleptocrats (oof) so it wouldn't be wrong to give space for the possibility that a regime change could from the bottom up. Mark alluded to the idea, but didn't have time to elaborate and I suspect he would mostly subscribe to the idea.

Western media needs to immediately begin talking about Putin's successor - even if it's someone besides Medvedev who Putin has chosen to succeed him in the past. A serious propaganda campaign would put a lot of pressure on Putin and the oligarchs who would prefer someone besides Medvedev, and may actually expedite his removal. It would be interesting to watch an internal struggle begin for succession while Putin is purposefully weakened.

I think a lot of the "that bridge is meaningless" talk is coming from Kremlin propaganda; they want that bridge in tact! Even with that alternate rail running, taking out the bridge means they NEED that railway to supply Crimea, meaning it would have significant supplies aboard those trains. Drop the bridge, then target the rail relentlessly and force them to start flying supplies in. Cargo planes are slow/make big targets for a FPV pilots (no idea if they have any ground-air offensive missile systems, which would be the best way to harass their air supply)

@williamwillaims Ай бұрын

@mfallen2023 I could be wrong (obviously), but I have a feeling that this is going to take a turn soon.

27:45 Yes more competent but also someone more realistic. I asusme we're talking field marshal Erich von Manstein when we're talking more competent leaders. But Manstein really only had one goal, preventing the USSR from taking over Europe. He may well have been willing to make concessions in the west to improve his chances in the east.

Western leaders need to grow a spine and send special forces skilled, experienced pilots, a adults to work their tanks and artillery. The way their prosecuting WW3 now, their liable to lose.

The fact that Russia has done so little with the period of time that Ukraine was under supplied says a great deal about Russian capability.

15:00 Not to mention a huge swathe of Al Qaeda and ISIS figthers where Chechen, sure alot of them ended up dead but the one who are still alive have been fighting constantly since the last chechen war. If they return to Chechnya they bring with them vast experience of fighting exactly the kind of war they would be figting agaisnt Russia. Checnya could easily be to Russia what Afghanistan ended up being to the soviet union.
