I do wonder, is the focus on those protesting might be obscuring a view of “patriotic” Russians buying into what he’s selling? They certainly have the history of answering the call to arms when Mother Russia is threatened-real or imagined. I hope I’m wrong, but how can we know?
When young American men tried to dodge the U.S. draft for a senseless war back in the 60s they were likewise penalized and scorned by the U.S. government and populace.
According to Sun Tzu in he Art of War, Putin is doing everything wrong in this war starting with micromanaging it. He’s being as successful as General Hitler who led his troops all the way from Stalingrad to Berlin.

This is NOT “The Great Patriotic War” against the facists despite what Putin wants the people to believe.
