Good thread from a couple of days ago. Basically the radicals (20% of the pop ) wants war and to win. But the majority (60%) are laymen who are apolitical and just don’t want anything that rocks their boat. That seems to describe Pointman here. If they go and declare war then those 60% get affected and get pissed off. So Putin is trying to walk a line where they put out enough rhetoric to stir up the radicals but don’t actually do anything to not affect the Laymen. Which means any significant change in Ukraine is unlikely to happen.
