I’ve noticed that the “Russia is on the verge of collapse” articles have ramped up recently. I think it has to do with urging Congress to vote Ukraine more money that we don’t have and will have to borrow.
The war is changing domains….losing on the battlefield, pivot to information control and psyops. If it doesn’t work on the Russians, the managers hope it will influence our not-so-bright Congress to keep shoveling aid and weapons to Keev.
