Take a look at the Paul Walburg video above. I've not watched it all yet but seems as though some Oligarchs are making moves at the moment. areas of Russia where police are having a hard time now have Oligarch funded vigilante groups and some seem to be preparing to break away from Mother Russia.

All very early so might not come to anything but building blocks seem to be being placed.

Another mobilisation right now might actually benefit Ukraine. Russians are feeling the pinch. They've mobilised the east and this next step would naturally touch Moscow/St Petersburg more than previous rounds.

Russia's collapse must come from within. They are a country who historically have risen up and overthrown leaders. Hopefully this is the final straw for many people.

And making NATO bigger! He has literally caused that himself.

He’s doubling down because he has no choice. If things were going as well as the Kremlin likes to suggest then they wouldn’t need to do this, especially as winter is coming. Same goes for all these attacks on civilian targets. If they were winning on the battlefield why waste scarce military resources on attacking civilians?
 
The number of people accidentally falling from windows whilst shooting themselves in the head seems to have increased recently.

Is there any analysis as to why this is? Is it just the Russian criminal kleptocracy settling scores, or is there something more systematic going on ie Putin putting down incipient rebellions?

Russia sees another wave of high-profile purges, a new wave of arrests targeting senior officials and businessmen over the past week.On September 30, Major General of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Mikhail Nadyozhin, was detained.On September 29, Major General Valery Golota, head of the National Guard in North Ossetia–Alania, was arrested along with subordinates. On September 29, Oleg Chemezov, deputy governor of Sverdlovsk region, was also taken into custody.On September 25, Dmitry Rodionov, deputy governor of Vologda region and former Karelia official, was detained.On September 23, businessman and billionaire Alexey Bobrov, was arrested together with his associates.

Moreover, in the same timeframe as the recent arrests, a new wave of suspicious "suicides" of Russian officials and businessmen was ongoing. On September 25, Vitaly Kapustin, a United Russia deputy in Krasnodar Krai, was found dead — hanged himself in a forest belt, according to Russian statements. On September 25, Alexander Fedotov, former St. Petersburg transport chief, reportedly fell to his death at a Moscow airport hotel — jumped out of the window, according to Russian statements.On September 19, defense executive Alexander Tyunin was found dead in Moscow. His company was part of Umatex Group, Russia’s sole carbon fiber producer and supplier for Shahed/Geran drones — shot himself, according to Russian statements.

It’s easy to assume these suicides are politically motivated assassinations but another equally plausible explanation is that Russia is an unbelievably shit place to live.
