Fuel Runs DRY: Ukraine's Drones Hit Refineries

The foundations of Putin's regime are shaking from within, as Russia faces a compounding internal crisis driven by a faltering economy and growing dissent. The system is in decline, with the government's grip tightening as its competence erodes. This is not simply a result of external pressures but a consequence of self-destructive decisions made by the Kremlin.

The regime actively works to keep its citizens uninformed, replacing English education with ideological classes and censoring anything considered "unfriendly." These control measures are unfolding at the same time as Russians see shrinking paychecks, fuel shortages, and collapsing industries. The country is descending into a state of disarray.

Despite the government's efforts to silence its people, signs of public defiance are emerging. People are showing up at memorials and downloading communication apps the government tries to ban. Cracks are appearing even among the elite, with a growing divide between intelligence and military leadership. This internal strife indicates that a collapse is not only possible but increasingly likely. The final downfall of Putin's Russia may be triggered by the very hubris of the man at the top.
