Thing is, Putin and his people like to deal with dissent harshly. One comedian was jailed for a joke. Protesters have been jailed just because. If you dared talk of revolution, you'd never be seen again.

It's a lot harder to be tough in the face of your own government, sadly... they sure were tough in World War 2.

Don't forget that Russia kicked Hitler's ass, the problem isn't necessarily with the Russian People, it is with their despotic leader. The invaded will always fight harder than the invaders will...

@spjennifer Plus Hitler was beaten as much by the country itself as the Russians. But your point about people fighting for their own nation is well made. It seems Putin may not have learned all the lessons Russia taught Hitler as he seems to be having supply line issues.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Napolean said "An army marches on it's stomach" and he got his ass handed to him in Russia too, if you can't manage the logistics of war you are doomed to fail. 😊
@spjennifer I was'nt talking about WW2. Yes their leader is despotic.

It’s different when you are defending your home.

The thing is that if the situation were reversed and the Russians were fighting on their own soil against an invader, you might find them a totally different proposition. But for whatever reason, there heart really isnt in this. Plus as shrewd as Putin is, hes no Churchill.😷

Yes,but even if that happened the oligarchy would only replace him with anothet dictator.
@DavidT8899 very valid point, but the oligarchs are having hard times outside Russia now. Their properties are taken away from them by governments.

@Thewhazzupdude Good!We could damage them even further by releasing our own supplies of oil and natural gas.When the E.U countries are buying it from us instead of them,the oligarchs will find themselves in a bad position indeed 😀!

That's so easy to type as words on the internet behind a laptop.
