Russian's who fought in Ukraine increasingly getting targeted in Russia, most recent being the one axed to death in St Petersburg.
Whatever Putin does strategically turn into gold...for others. Started a war to push NATO out, its moving closer. Went to Peking, Xi twisted his arm and Putin just gave away Manchuria river-belt to China for it to access Nth Pacific directly. Duma pundits on national TV fuming. Went to Nth Korea, signed a security agreement with piss-poor Nth Korea for South Korea to change its policy and supply lethal weapons to Ukraine. Why do Russian's need enemies when they got a leader like Putin?
