6. Perhaps the corruption in Russia is what will defeat Putin.

With a government that is corrupt from the too down, I wonder whether a significant portion of the military spending ever got to the military. Russia’s soldiers seem poorly trained, and choosing to attack when the tanks have to stay on roads makes them sitting ducks—not a particularly smart military tactic. The logistics of re-supplying the armed forces also seem to be falling down, for which we can all be grateful. Perhaps the reason Putin raised the nuclear threat is that he isn’t sure his army is up to the task.
