Russian leaders are also deluded if they imagine they will remain as easily in control of their own society after a military defeat of this scale. See fates of Argentine generals after Falklands 1982; Greek junta after Cyprus 1974. Defeat+ continuing sanctions? Even worse outlook — PolitiTweet.org

When this war ends, Russia will still need to negotiate the lifting of western sanctions. New EU candidate member Ukraine will have a powerful veto over sanctions-relief. Russian leaders are deluded if they imagine they can just withdraw and sulk. — PolitiTweet.org

Defeated authoritarian regimes have a way of unraveling. Their forces become ineffective not only at foreign aggression, but domestic repression as well. See Russian empire 1905. — PolitiTweet.org
