It is slowly dawning on some Russian bloggers what an absolute devastating loss the war is for Russia. Not a single strategic goal has been achieved, but a trillion USD wasted, plus more a million Russian casualties.
The worst is even yet to come. The gap between Russia and the major economies in terms of technology is far greater than it was when the Soviet Union collapsed.
Russia future is bleak and even some ardent Russian nationalists cannot mince words for what is coming.

Ti ricordo comunque che ripubblicare un messaggio di moderazione inviato solo a te รจ un gesto scorretto, contrario alle regole di istanza (no doxing), oltre al fatto di essere illegale (pubblicazione della corrispondenza). Non ho cancellato quel messaggio solo perchรฉ dimostra ulteriormente le nostre ragioni
certamente. E il modo in cui si scrive un messaggio di questo tipo รจ un indicatore importante di cosa si vuole comunicare.
