their commanders. At some point, once you realize you’re not getting out alive, taking the asshole who brought you could seem like a pretty fine idea.

It seems to me that taking several thousand anti-war activists, giving them weapons, and sending them to Ukraine might not be the best idea for Pootie Poot’s invasion.

& receive assylum.

The IT community does not want putin controlling the neon world supply (Ukraine!), essential for chip mfg.

This is what he is after.

So long as the soldiers have not commited war crimes, all are eligible.

The military may revolt, but it will revolt against the generals and not putin. Just a guess, but 30 years is a long time, and any old guard are likely gone.

All that will be left in the upper echelons will be loyalists and toadies. Think of what would happen if tfg were in place for 3 decades. There wouldn't be a guardrail or anything approaching disapproval from that crowd. They are in on the take. They are in on the delusions. They will blame anyone but themselves or dear leader.

They won't turn on putin.

The army will walk home before the generals acknowledge there is a problem.

Putin will blame them all for his totally botched invasion.

So those Russian Generals should ask themselves, who will be executed first? Putin or them?

He likely has access to family members.
