Putin On the Ritz

[Jimmy Floyd]

There is a war, but other than a few weeks in May/June it's pretty much been all bad news for Russia.

There's no real way for the Russians to exit without either total defeat or regime change at home, so expect it go on well into 2023.

The only thing pro-Russian twitter seems to have left now is 'time is on our side', which sounds great but actually depends on an erosion of western support which I'm not sure is going to come. The Russians have badly underestimated both Ukraine and the West.
