Would there be an adverse reaction.
Let me put in it in my own words.
Propaganda wise Kremlin will be saying 80% of Russians support Putin and this " Special Operation " .
But maybe just 20%
And if the sanctions continue and really screw the Russian population up, instead of expecting a coup that will overthrow Putin.
The 20% becomes 60 to 70% since everyone starts to become nationalistic and it is basically we against the entire world.
It's i heard -experts- saying sanctions -could- motivate Russians people to accuse, and to fight against -Allies-
But what about the ones who are really in charge ? The ones who are really losing alot of money ? They will push to oust Putin and this could stop the war.
Second advantage is with sanctions Russia will not be able to maintain an high-tech conventional war cost; their troops may end up being massacred in trenches by Drones.
