(#6307) Reality is settling in to ordinary Russians

      After all the bluster and threats from putin, we are now seeing the truth of putin's actions with Ukraine! As Ukraine is able to fly pretty much anywhere and attack Russia's military infrastructure, Russia is unable to stop the destruction. Russia's economy was already pretty bad with all the sanctions that caused dwindling supplies but now with electricity, natural gas, and fuel being interrupted the shock of the truth concerning invading Ukraine is clearly awakening Russian society. As if losing more than 1.3 million Russian lives in Ukraine wouldn't be enough, the recent onset of fear and the cost of living in Russia is becoming unbearable.
     The once untouchable putin is now in real jeopardy of being displaced. The propaganda can only work when there is enough confusion about reality. But now the propaganda is unable to fool as reality is front and center in most of ordinary Russian life. Burning fuel depots, burning military bases and equipment, air sirens all over Russia. Now we even see the usual mighty Russian May 9th parade spectacle as a shadow of itself. There can be no other explanation to the Russian people that their leader putin has failed to achieve his boasts. he said he would conquer Ukraine in 3 days. It has been 1,538 days since that boast of putin and there is no end in sight for a now improbable victory.
     Although putin said he would conquer Ukraine in 3 days he is now into his 4th year, 2nd month and 18th day with not being able to conquer Ukraine Instead Russia could well likely be defeated in their invasion. No one expects Ukraine to conquer Russia but reclaiming their land from the 2014 initial Russian annexation of their land is highly possible now. As things are currently going Russia may well have to cede back the land they stole from Ukraine and feel lucky Ukraine doesn't want more land from them! One mans ego, putin's, has done so much harm to Russia that they will be hard pressed to get back to where they were before the vain arrogance of putin cost them so much in blood and treasure!
