His economy is tanking.
The Russian military death toll keeps rising.
Inscription of more troops is not popular.
He has to keep killing or jailing more opponents, including his own generals.
Ukraine's drone attacks on Russian oil refineries have been devastating to the Russian economy.
Ukraine big weapon attacks will be the same.
As well as a huge psychological blow to the Russia people who are going to have
to start facing some hard realities.
