Howdoes Prighosion losing to Putin hurt Putin?

He crushed opposition within 24 hours.

I don’t believe Russia is about to collapse.

And the neocons, globalists and leftists continue having their erotic daydreams totally at odds with the realities in front of them. Fantasize on ZEEPERS.

The maps are misleading. The non-Russian territories are too thinly populated to resist Russian control. The only danger is external: if China were to reclaim some of its lost territory or seek to occupy Siberia from an unstable or otherwise occupied Russia.

I clinked on the CNN link and the first thing that came up was a picture of James Clapper.

CNN has NO legitimacy as a news source and Clapper has NO legitimacy as an authoritative source for anything.

That TRAITOR signed the letter claiming that Hunter’s laptop was authentic.

Absolute bulls**t. This guy was capable of inflicting nothing more than a mosquito bite at best though it might have caused several 100 lives, for sure, but strategically, it was a nothing.

CNN is way late to the game. Our elites at the State Department and their other propaganda organs have been predicting the collapse of Russia all along, to my recollection.

Someone should tell CNN Steve that this was an old story on Sunday.

Russia has been around for more than a thousand years. The government there has collapsed several times, including twice in about the last hundred years.

Even if we do consider the possibility of another collapse, the West seems to be completely unable to find a way to work with Russia in any sort of meaningful and productive way. Certainly, they bear much of the blame, but we have made them a enemy for such a long time that there is a great deal of mistrust.

The Russian state stood universally united behind Putin.

Not even a single voice of dissent when an armed insurrection was afoot. No generals, no Duma members, no governors...NOBODY but Prigo voiced dissent.

That looks like a very stable government to me.

And the US in the same circumstances would certainly split into factions, Senators...generals...governors all picking sides.

Russia remains, a socialist workers union-group-think soviet-solidarity-thug-power (”deep swamp”) that brutally dominates Russian workers-society and supports the mix of police-state and military-state authoritarian “Moscow Club” stratosphere.

The brief rebellion by PMC Wagner, was mostly stopped from proceeding to Moscow, by the government-socialist-workers “deep swamp” who defended their reign over all of the Russian Federation, by disrupting communications (electronic [Internet] and physical [ie roadways]).

From June 23 - June 25, the “soldiers” (workers party thugs) recorded as much of the public activity as would be expected, and like the brutal authoritarians “ruling” Iran, will support the disappearance - the fearful police state that has trained most people about the limits of their so-called “freedoms.”

As in Iran, so it is in Russia, that there are many good people, but other than the arrival of some on-the-street rebellious force that momentarily provides refreshment of the wish for individual freedom, good people live daily in fear of the authoritarian state.

Where is the surprise here. One of the biggest instigators of Putin’s failing regimes was the US and has been for over 70 years. The US has been at the throat of Russia starting right after the end of WW II.

The latest attack in disguise is our support for the Ukraine. the second line in this article reads:

“The Western stakes in the Ukraine war rose significantly as a result.”

The public has no idea how much we already have invested in the Ukraine from nuclear technology:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/18/politics/us-warns-russia-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant/index.html#:~:text=The%20US%20has%20sensitive%20nuclear,energy%20firm%20Rosatom%20last%20month.

to import/export gains:

In 2018, of the $1.4 billion in U.S. imports from Ukraine, the top commodity sectors were Base Metals (68.4%), Agriculture (9.3%), and Machinery and Mechanical Appliances (5.7%).

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS957US957&q=What+interests+does+the+US+have+with+Ukraine%3F&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjy1oPGp-H_AhUPAzQIHdVqDwoQzmd6BAgSEAY&biw=1731&bih=873&dpr=1.1

to military:

Besides having over 100 special forces with boots on the ground there, we’ve had the folowing bases and posts on high alert for deployment since early 2022:

Fort Bragg, North Carolina (82nd Airborne Division and 18th Airborne Corps)
Fort Campbell, Kentucky (101st Airborne Division)
Fort Carson, Colorado (4th Infantry Division)
Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona
Fort Hood, Texas
Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington
Fort Polk, Louisiana
Robins AFB, Georgia
Fort Stewart, Georgia
Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio

The media also uses the term currently by saying we have no political (CIA) prisons in the Ukraine at this time. That’s talk around for we did, or we can’t talk about them, and will probably have again.

Our government is not going to trust the citizens of the US with the info they are hiding calling it sensitive. The voters have been kept in the dark too long to understand what is really happening.

Such a collapse will not come if and when Putin is replaced. If and when Putin is replaced it will be an internal coup within the Kremlin and not a military rebellion. The deep state in the Kremlin is still the strongest force in Russia. But, someday long down the road in the future, Russian disentegration may come, who knows when. The birth rates of Russians is declining and the birth rates of many minorities in the Russian federation are not.+

Her’s a map:

https://www.quora.com/Russias-fertility-is-only-rising-because-of-Turkic-Muslim-groups-and-ethnic-Russian-fertility-is-1-1-Yakutia-Kazakhstan-and-Moscow-were-once-majority-Russian-but-are-no-longer-so-Will-ethnic-Russians-be-a-minority

Yet, while the decline of the fertility rate of ethic Russians compared to some ethnic minorities in Russia, the Russian ethnic group is still about 80% of the population, so the effects of their fertility rate are many, many decades off from having a major political affect, and during that time events could cause a reversal in those trends. So, “ethnic turmoil” in the Russian federation is unlikely to “topple the Kremlin” in our lifetimes.

A partition of Russia would be Justice for the hell Russia has caused its neighbors over the centuries including my paternal ancestors.
