Thats how russia tries to solve everything.
Throwing more cannon fodder against a wall.
Either they succeed…or losses run so high the Tsar is ousted and the country collapses
With 75.000 dead we are not there yet.
More russians need to die. This is better for the world.
On the brightside, they are at the same time burning through all their military hardware and soviet stocks. Never to be a threat on similar scale again.
It would be easier to remove Lenin or Stalin than Putin. Putin is Russia. Russia is moving in the other direction to a removal of Putin. Those opposed to Putin are being removed to prison and worse.
Now the Russian Oligarchs can play this smart and remove Putin, with Putin's approval. Install a new leader, invade China when the US attacks China. India attacks from the South, USA from the East and Russia from the North. Putin blames new leader of Russia for the Russian invasion of China, to fool the Chinese that Putin was on their side. This would actually work. Hint to Washington. Get Russia off of Europe's back (China supports a Russian war, why wouldn't China support a Russian war vs China lol). Have the US deepstate no longer use Russia to destroy Europe, instead take land in China. Annex resource rich Manchuria. The Chabad would get richer off of owning Chinese mineral wealth. USA could loot China and occupy it. Have a bunch of Russian lies that Manchuria is part of Russia, etc. Make is as dumb and unconvincing as the Tucker Russian Propaganda.
That is how Putin is going to be removed. From a variety of a faux reasons for removal. A new replacement for changing geopolitics. Same with Yeltsin. Putin was a Yeltsin appointee, Putin was on Team Yeltsin. Though Putin dramatically changed Russian course because that is what was required for the Oligarch, cronies, and Western deepstate to maintain control over Russia. Control the Mafia, FSB/KGB, Military, Nationalists, Church. Control Russia. Scapegoat Separatists. Co-opt Reformers and Communists. This is literally Tom Clancy.
I only wargamed Putin's removal because so many uninformed keep believing Putin is going away. That is not how geopolitics in Russia works. There is required continuity for the
Chabad that control the economy of Russia, for the Mafia that cause fear in the Duma and Journalism. For the various interest groups that work with Putin.
Saying Putin is going away and Russia is going to reform and Westernize, is the same as saying Trump is going to die in prison. That is literally pie in the sky stuff. That is not how the US deepstate operates. Trump is less important than Putin/Russia to the US deepstate. So the loss of Trump when you have Republican replacements means Trump in office is less important than Putin in office to the pro-Russia cia Republicans. You need massive and I mean massive popular support for the removal of Putin in Russia/real reforms and the end of Trumpism in the USA. The "ruling elite" are not stopping Trump and not changing Russia. Garland could have stopped Trump, passed responsibility to a special council.
