Damn that is frightening. I can see that as the sanctions hurt


regular Russians more and more, it is much easier to sway their belief to, "This is all the West's fault".... Especially when the Russian government owns the state media, and shuts everyone else down and therefore, controls what is being told to average Russians.

What is an acceptable out that we could offer, that the citizens would hang onto as hope, to avoid desperation? It actually sounds like Putin's style of leadership is to actually MAKE his people hurt, so they submit and have no choice but to back him.
