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

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

For now, Russia still has assets to bargain with: its hold on Crimea and eastern Ukraine, gas flows to EU this winter. Those assets are dwindling, and every atrocity is a new liability charged against those assets. Nuclear threats only make Russia's bargaining position worse. — PolitiTweet.org
