Announcements / Putin tries to perpetuate his own power
« Last post by sakib5599 on September 03, 2023, 10:53:40 pm »Putin is getting older and sicker, so the issue of power transition is very real, but any form of institutional transition is impossible in this context. So how do you deal with all this well the best solution is some kind of extreme and extraordinary situation. In such cases those in power can overcome any institutional or constitutional obstacles and make whatever decisions they want to justify the state of emergency. War may be the best way to create this situation. Given what you said about the Kremlin's apparent lack of war strategy.
Do you know what Putin's goals are in Phone Number List and whether he is interested in negotiating to achieve them? There is no long-term strategy behind this very ad hoc invasion. Once the regime's expediency failed they apparently began inventing new causes and objectives for the war after the fact. . We are faced with the very rare situation of a country waging an aggressive war but having to struggle to define its objectives or to explain those objectives to public opinion. This is partly because the elites themselves are confused about what to do and are desperately looking for a way out. But now he can't find it.

The main problem now is not that I don’t want to negotiate but that I don’t want to negotiate. The main problem is that whatever you achieve through negotiations you cannot sell it to the public as a victory given the huge dissatisfaction that exists. This is why it is so difficult for the Russian elite and the Russian government to reach an agreement. It's not just about having to make a deal with Ukraine and the West that they might do. They have to be able to sell any deal they do to national opinion, which is a very difficult thing today. Whatever the outcome will be, it will trigger a huge moral-political-ideological crisis in the country and possibly even an insurrection.
