Its an armed mob of largely ethnic criminal elements, sewn together with guys who dont understand why they are there and what they are trying to achieve, grasping on shitty plastic propaganda to justify something they themself don't agree with.
Add some IT guys with questionable backgrounds and Putin with a nuclear button and that's all it is.
Agree with alot of that. The only upside I can see for the authoritarian powers Russia, China and their peripheral allies, such as North Korea or Belarus.
Is that with authority comes a conviction in direction. Whether that direction Is to benefit of the majority of people. Or as in the case with Ukraine to the benefit of the Russian regime.
Western democracies are slower and more prudent in action
Particularly China would have a highly motivated wartime industry.
