Random thought, is there any chance Russia would lose their patience if they don’t win quite as quickly as they were planning? They’re obviously in this for the long run - I think US estimates of a 24/48 hour war are wrong - but I do worry.

They're not doing great, that's for sure. Gotta remember though that the current phase of the war isn't using all that Russia can bring to bare.
 
Based on my impression of what is going around me: Russian Facebook (populated mostly by middle class Russians) is overwhelmingly against the war. Telegram (which represent a wider audience) is about 30-70 against it. Generally because Russians consider Ukrainians as very close nation, many have Ukrainian relatives.

Internal police is very active in suppressing riots. Orders are to suppress everything before it starts to spread. They are also everywhere. I am leaving relatively far from the center of Moscow and I never saw Riot police around here until today.

Stay safe bro. While I'm happy whenever any Russian speaks out against their government, it would be horrible if something happened.

We are fine, thank you. I am more concerned about Ukrainian friends. We stay connected. They are doing ok so far. I have one in Har'kov. He reported an hour ago the city is still under UF control. Although encircled. Some friends in Kiev are moving out of the city going west. Another friend in Odessa, they are staying in the city. It is relatively calm there. I have not heard about any civilian casualties from them or about cases of bombing civilian targets, although I saw some reports in telegram. But based on my general impression, troops are avoiding engagements in civilian-populated areas.

To late an you better bet the west will on the downlow help you get the right truthful information and maybe even help organize within Russia!!!

Cannot wait to see protests nationwide in Russia against the war. Good luck covering that one up Putin. He picked the wrong fight & highly underestimated pretty much everything about this crisis foreign & domestic.

This has 150% strengthened the west resolve & unity. Soon bye bye Putin?

Putins biggest gamble doesn't seem to be paying off. We will see, but if there is one thing that's going to get him out of the Kremlin, it's this.

He's already lost. He just doesn't know it.
