Don't be distracted. The big story isn't "woke capitalism." It's crony capitalism that allows the wealthy and corporations to roll back laws to line their own pockets.

@plutus Tell Luke Groman and Sean Russia is in a massive economic recession. Still waiting for the US job losses that he said would result

@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance

I’m concerned Ukraine might not have sufficient ammunition to mount a sustained counter attack. Which is bizarre that we have gone thru so much ammo after preparing for 50 years for WWIII

@johnserwach @rubecube12 @plutus After 1991, no one thought "the commies are coming thru the Fulda Gap". Javelins came just after that date, and not in huge bulk, plus they've been improved since.

Few imagined years of artillery duels, cuz the thinking was it would turn into missiles before that much time elapsed.

@johnserwach @rubecube12 @plutus The situation is not good at all. Even raw Russian conscripts can build defensive positions, and in depth. See, Kursk, battle of.

Aid is insufficient, and late. Little or no striking into Russia. I'm sorry, you cannot win this way with limited manpower to boot.

Best chance? Prolly to lure RA into an ill-advised advance & then win a huge battle of maneuver.

Meanwhile, UA bleeds.

@ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12

I think the problem with the aid is the way we have slowly ratcheted up more advanced systems. Russia OTOH seems to have a severe manpower problem. Of course having had this discussion the Uk will probably launch a massive assault and retake crimea. Proving us both wrong again.

@johnserwach @plutus @rubecube12 And we agree about the aid. I said "insufficient, and late".

UA needs to kill about 8 Russians for every UA soldier lost. Three isn't going to make it, and it's likely they are not getting even that. We don't know, because sensibly, UA won't say.

@plutus @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance I’m not sure Russia has that kind of depth- in theory they could but it might cause a revolution or worse- they would still fail.

Their β€œfresh” recruits should be trained and ready to go, in fact they should have trained a lot of recruits butβ€”- we’re not seeing that and they can’t even get them uniforms and food/rations. Wagner is even running out.

@johnserwach @plutus @rubecube12 I think Wagner is being deliberately bled ... by the Putin/FSB clique. They don't want any organized, armed, competition when this ends.
@johnserwach @plutus @rubecube12 I think it's really hard to have a revolution, too, when every TV station is "Fox News" on steroids. Dissent? Sure. There will always be that. But it's small, and disorganized, and likely to stay that way.

@plutus @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance yeah but they have that history. Someone has to be coup worthy.

If this is remotely close they have very serious problems.

I’ve known my share of Ukrainians- they will fight to the last child.

@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance

Never mess with a Sicilian when death is on the line and never invade Ukraine in the winter time

@rubecube12 @johnserwach @plutus Summer & winter is exactly when you invade Ukraine. It's spring & fall mud that are the problems. Sure, it's cold. But it isn't Yakutsk.

@johnserwach @plutus @rubecube12 It's an important year, I think. Endless meatgrinder, a problem for Putin. But UA being held to a (ridiculously?) high standard, too. Must "do something" to keep the support flowing. But attacking w/ < 3-1 manpower advantage? In essentially "trench warfare" conditions? Little to no deep-strike capability? Few planes. Less than even one full battalion of Abramsβ€”when they finally get there?

US elections will weigh by next winter.

@ForeignSubstance @plutus @johnserwach

You get an economic depression big enough and revolution is the result. Just give it a few years. Tsarist Russia found out. They had tight grip on the media

@rubecube12 @plutus @johnserwach As long as they are selling oil ... "big enough" is likely to not be big enough.

I know what you are saying. But the US always thinks its opponents are domestically weak.

The Nazis persevered through day & night bombing. Japan had to be nukedβ€”twice.

People rally 'round the flag. It has to be *really* *really* *really* bad, and even then it's probably not gonna be bad enough.

US hubris about this seems to never subside.

@rubecube12 @plutus @johnserwach And again, I'd love to be proven wrong about all or most of this.
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus germany and Japan had some pride- russias had what, 2-4 revolutions/coups in the last 100 years ? Depending on how u score it. 1917, 1991, 93, 99 ??? They’re overdue! I guess germany had Valkyrie and Japan had the KyΕ«jō incident (the anti-coup)
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @plutus I think the difference is simply that the strongmen know more about how to put on a good show these days. The lowest classes in Russia are NOT starving. They have mobile phones. Cars. Sure, the oligarchs have mansions in Cyprus, etc. But life in Russia is not peasant life under the Tsars. It's not even close.

@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance

If gdp continues to go negative they will be. Eventually lower income means you can't support as many people at the same standard of living they have now. People are loss averse. Loss of a high standard of living makes them angry

@rubecube12 @johnserwach @plutus Eventually, sure. But the *blame* has to be obvious, and it won't be. The West will be blamed. Will some people resist the ether? Sure. But again, all media in Russia is "Fox". They're a long way from any unrest organized and big enough to worry Putin and his FSB buddies. They can, and will, kill Russians, if it comes to that.
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @plutus Most comprehensive book on the subject I have read. Stops 2 years before the 22 invasion, but you can see it coming, and understand why Russia isn't going to just walk away.
