Is it me or is Putin's Russia starting to really implode?

Ukraine with NATO's support and Russian internet communication being eradicated,,,the Russia army, what's left, is getting destroyed more methodically every day. No air cover, no Shaheeds, no offense. Ukraine is systematically going after Russia's oil infrastructure. Big time.

Russian population knows they have been socially/economically fucked by Putin.


I doubt this asshole makes it another 6 months,

1. I can't imagine the Russian people in general aren't rooting for Ukraine...

Surely, they’re as sick of Putin as we are—if not moreso! (Can you imagine the orange bawbag ruining *our* lives as long as Putin has?)

5. I'm guessing that's what T💩p was referring to when he said, "We will make a lot of money."

Putin most of all.

Russia was heading for dire straits and this will help a great deal.
A big boost in the price of oil.

So much so, that their increasing production of drones/ballistics system are having an easier time to find the gaps in Russia's air control....over Russia.


The end is near for Putin. One or two major infrastructure destructive events in the Heartland will be enough to do him in.

Also, does anyone really think Putin can open a 2nd front against any NATO territory....Baltic States, in particular?

His only card is a nuclear MAD event. I wonder if Vlad thinks he is going to Heaven?

I could end up being pretty close, if you are right.

It's been looking this way for at least 3 or 4 months. Hope your prediction is right.
