This is the kind of data that makes for interesting speculation. Will the Russian citizens - who were never enthusiastic about the war, and are now facing a declining standard of living - dare to slowly build up a grassroots movement against Putin? Will the Russian oligarchs - annoyed that their oil profits are down and assets have been confiscated by other world powers - rally to hurry up and end the war, or will they simply conspire to replace Putin? Will China’s top dogs be more inclined to partner militarily with Russia - because they can impose more favorable terms - or decide that Putin’s a loser and turn their attention elsewhere? What an intriguing year this might be!
