I don't disagree with you, but I'm talking about now. We can't know what will happen in the future. Maybe there would be an uprising. Who knows how things will turn out?
The thing is: even if Russkies wanted to rise up against their government they couldn't do it on their own since Putler has his personal SS mercenaries build up from non ethnic Russians who don't have a problem to massacre the Ivans. A bit like with the Cossacks during the time of the czar. In my pov it's better to just heavily attack the Russian elite with sanctions. In the end it's not guaranteed if it works out but at least some random oligarch has more influence on the state of Russia then all 150 Million Ivans combined.
With unrest comes opportunities though, for anyone close to him looking to take charge. Especially during war.
Chechnya if the money stream from Moscow ends. They wouldn't lead the uprising of all Russkies ofc. but they could topple the Russian state if they weren't lead by a Suffi brainlet who plays the based white man on IG.
Russia already has VK as their own version of Facebook. Instagram thots and perpetually online twitterati already oppose Putin and are as impotent as they are everywhere else. I'm not even telling you it as a moral argument, it's strategically pointless and always has been everywhere it's been used up to now and will be again. You can even make the case that it's counterproductive because you're cutting off your own sources of propaganda within Russia and removing the benefits of participating in the global economy.
Hell, I can do that. It's an essentially a "we have M4 carbine at home" setup, using the same basics but different parts to do it. Laser module looks like a civilianized version that may or may not have the IR capability, flashlight looks to be a standard Surefire brand, which is the usual standard due to its reputation as being absolutely fucking blinding if shone into your eyes at night. Optics are non-magnified red dots, and the grips are on the shorter side. One is running picatinny rails and the other has keymod, so they are on some level personalized (or at least not standardized), indicating that these were individually purchased, rather than received in bulk from a sponsor. Image cuts off too early to determine barrel length, but the one on the left looks like it might be mounting a suppressor, given the apparent size of the thing, which by extension would indicate a length well under the 16" minimum for a no-fuss civilian rifle.View attachment 3041639 View attachment 3041638
Yeah. In Kiev you could buy a Toyota Sequoia ARMOURED.
It's not the same car but again it shows how stupid and dangerous it is to stream your 'adventures'

Putin is a dictator and frankly I don't like dictators. But you aren't doing anything but making people in Russia hate the West more. It wasn't Putin that fucked with their livelihoods and made them even poorer. Sure his actions are detestable, but how does taking it out on the common man help things when you could diplomatically resolve this mess?
Oh joy more useless "war tourist" types, at least that college kid in Libya who spoke to the locals in broken Italian could help clean and repair firearms and carry artillery shells.
Okay glownigger, what else?
Maybe I'm just dense, but did any previous wars had this degree of war tourism? Aside from that college kid you mentioned.
Or it depends how far the normal population is whipped by their goverment. I read examples of how the German population treated shot down crews from USAF or RAF bombers. And it wasn't exactly pretty
If you ask me:
You're the only one crying here bro
In all fairnesd the bombed economy has way bigger impact, unless a nuclear plant explodes. Remember that ukraine will likely be part of russia which means they will have to deal with the same terrible economy as well
All of them prior to post WW2 wars I'd imagine. All those stories about Hercules and the other gay Greek heroes. War tourists. Things are just going back to the "normal" we've been away from so long.
