Russia can end the war within 2 days, even now.
They could just... fucking leave and never come back.
But then they reveal themselves to be weak and straight up idiots. Theres no going back until Russian people get their shit together and get the hold of their country but decades of brainwashing and indifference is preventing any meaningful change. It's a lost country.
Is it brainwashing and indifference, though? Could also be fear of a hostile government. Russia isn't exactly known for its fair treatment of protesters, dissidents, and activists.
I just came back from SEA and it's full or Russians either running away from war or pretending everything's fine. Russian culture is just so extremely toxic that people have completely lost any sort responsibility or sense of understanding. It's all either somebody else's fault or "nothing you can change" sort of mentality. It's not just a few bad apples.
