and it doesn't seem impossible that somebody's training up Ukrainian tank crews either (I'm assuming tanks are more complicated to operate than what's being sent in this package) That seems like literally everything except tanks being shipped over. That package alone could guard the a massive chunk of the northern border with Belarus and Russia. That's a lot of freedom heading straight to where it's needed more.

It includes +18 HIMARS systems, hundreds of armored vehicles, radars and counter-drone systems. ‼️ White House announces new $1.1 billion weapons pkg for #Ukraine. But there's a reason why most analysts expect a palace revolution first, rather than a popular uprising. And there's been plenty of examples of revolutions in places that were just as shitty. Anything that reeks of organized discontent is hauled off in black vans. Also consider that despite the mobilization all the masked cops in Moscow are still patrolling and none of them have to go to the west. It takes a lot of shit for regular ass people to take to the streets. With no guarantee that you're gonna end up with a better ruler. It is followed by a period (years of it, sometimes!) of chaos and danger. Royals, communists, kleptocrats all treated them the same.Īnd you gotta realize that the bad times don't stop after a revolution. For the colonized areas of the Russian Federation they have been under the boot of Moscow for over a century, their local identity has been erased by one leader after the other. There's no charismatic leadership to rally behind. Putin &co have eradicated any form of opposition from the large population centers, either just killing them or sending them to Siberia.
The idea that you 'just revolt' is never true, you need to do a lot of stuff and generally need some kind of leader or figurehead. He's more eloquent than I'll ever be, so give that a watch if you're done reading poasts by a pygmy hippo. My thinking is heavily informed by the John Green's video linked below. I know it comes with considerable risk, but at this point it is almost a moral obligation to the world and fellow citizens. Instead of leaving, protest and revolt against the regime and try to enact some meaningful change.
This is something I’ve been considering since the exodus of people trying to leave Russia.
