Ukraine and the Putsch
Published at 16:23 on 25 June 2023
The putsch helps Ukraine. A lot.
Russian soldiers occupying Ukraine now know that their leader is weak and vulnerable. They know that prominent, influential people on the Russian side are saying that the whole pretext for the war was a pack of lies: Ukraine was of no threat to Russia and did not need to be de-Nazified.
Ask yourself: Would you feel motivated to fight for a weak and vulnerable leader in a war based on a pack of lies?
As such, expect low morale, desertions, surrenders, mutinies, etc. to really ramp up on the Russian side.
Moreover, Putin now is fighting two wars. One in Ukraine where he had already bitten off way, way more than he could chew. And now another one at home, trying to cling to power. He is now vastly more overextended than he was before.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure any of this out. You can be sure the Ukrainians already have. They were already beginning an offensive to retake territory. Expect the offensive to get ramped up: when the enemy is weak, you hit him harder.
