That’s the point. Flooding the Zone, to paralyze the voters. The political fabric is remade but people only watch and don’t know who is responsible or whom to support to regain influence. Putin is out of reach unless people are ready for WW3. So all thoughts end there.

I had hoped to see the Russian regime collapse by now. I hope it doesn’t come to that, war is the ultimate failure of imagination.

Russia is a piece in that puzzle, nothing more.
