I dont know man, I really dont.
Like...if Trudeau started a war tomorrow, what would I do about it?
Like we invade England as retribution for Colonialism or some nonsense, what could I do about it? I could at least be confident that some trucker would drive through his house or some nonsense, but thats about it.
How though, in a state where information and communication are strictly controlled are any Russians going to do anything? Not to mention, Putin's had a 20 year head start on creating a power-base, isolating citizens, controlling media and information and quelling and removing dissidents.
He has preemptively gotten rid of the people most likely to stand up and stop him and that wasnt an accident.
So, based on all of that I'm not confident the Russian people are really going to rise up and put a stop to this lunacy.
The only consolation I have is that historically speaking, if it gets to a breaking point for the Russian people they have shown that when they've taken enough #### then heads tend to roll. But under these circumstances and conditions? I dont even know what that breaking point would look like.
Hopefully it happens and sooner rather than later.
