I'm shocked that Putin seems to never use the internet or a phone. That indicates he feels he can trust his inner circle to feed him correct information. Russia may be more politically stable than one might assume.
He knows how much FSB puts propaganda on the internet and thinks it's successful, potentially overestimating it's reach...?
He probably thinks that every state is doing it ( since US does it), so for him => it can't be trusted.
Never thought of that, but it would explain some things.
To stop this war, his inner circle needs to be addressed in saying they can't win. Currently theirs a rain of money on the table, it's easy to pocket some.
Countries need to focus on actions that will make his inner circle claim they should retreat instead of publicly humiliating Putin.
Eg. Time linear bans on travel during the war for his inner circle.
Starting to confiscate properties ( including their families).
Banning their sons and daughters from our schools. + Their wives and exes from staying here.
Blocking opening a business, blocking circumventions for docking yachts.
Could you clarify why one might assume that Russia is politically unstable without this article? The same man has been in power in one way or another for the last 23 years.
