There are the oligarchs, And then there are the Russian people. A few hundred wealthy Russians vs the world. Russian people are very kind, Especially outside Russia, But powerless. The Muskovites kind of understand cosmopolitan ideas, But the people in the rural areas, Want out. The war is only good for Putin to project power, And Putin just represents the siloviki. The fledgling dreams of the old Russian imperial power that died over red October when the Bolshevik party killed the Romanovs. It is not coming back. Putin is killing all the progress the Russians made abroad since the fall of the USSR. Israel will not let Russia take over. The Jews were persecuted in Russia the same as in Germany. The Russian Jews will fight him to the end. The Ukraine, Poland, Russia Pale of Settlement were subject to the power of Catherine the Great. Israel is the political leader and the United States has the Nukes to match Russia at a moments notice. Putin is all hot air, The Russian Orthodox Church has no power over the state of Israel.
