Tucker, Putin and his security services comprise a mature autocratic (that's the nice word) power organization that amasses wealth for its elite and promises its underlings continued financial and other personal progress in exchange for their ruthless preservation of the organization. By necessity, such an organization cannot include prosperity for the bulk of the population it controls. To obtain maximum productivity from the population to serve its own interests, the organization must shield the controlled population from the outside world and intimidate it into complete compliance. The system goes back to Stalin, even Lenin, and it self-defeated. Putin has rejuvenated it and again set it on the path to self-defeat. Like you, I do have ethical issues with Ukraine being a tool to weaken this organization. On the other hand, the organization is a plague on a planet that truly has more important tasks before it than satisfying the egos of the Russian autocracy. Neurotypical people did not sign up for this madness, but it is starting to seem like the day is coming for a pivotal moment in history as far as this organization is concerned. China has been building a similar, and larger, organization. It is watching everything we do about this.
