I believe your argument is an example of whataboutism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

While you're not wrong that people in general tend to care more about matters directly affecting them, this fact is simply not relevant to the original fact that peace for ruZZia can only mean their complete victory and genocide for Ukrainians.

Don't forget it's russian people currently fighting in Ukraine. Yes, they are directed by their government, but they seem to have no issues with fighting (and supporting - somebody has to work in all those munitions factories), whether it's some national pride or just money.

For me in this case the preferred approach is the Occam's razor - fsb found a way to take over. But following your credo, telegram is absolutely prohibited in the Ukrainian army - either they know or the risk is too high. Which is kind of the same thing.

I believe that the popularity of The Walking Dead is not because of how zombies are fought, but because it's a story of humans being humans, oh and there's a zombie apocalypse.

The Strategic Return on US Investment in Ukraine (open.substack.com)
 

By degrading a near-peer adversary’s military capability, gaining unprecedented battlefield intelligence, and accelerating the testing and development of advanced weapons systems, the U.S. is realizing a Return on Strategic Investment (ROSI) of 321% to 797%

2.5 years to halve the reserves, the spend cannot be linear and I also don't think they need to get to zero to have a collapse.

... The economy is being funded by the cash reserves, which increases inflation, which leads to another round of interest rate hikes to combat inflation, which makes it harder to borrow money, which is necessary for economic growth. Eventually, the cash reserves will run out. It took 2.5 years to deplete half the Russian reserves. Russia withdrew $37 billion to cover deficits in December 2022. It withdrew $20 billion to cover deficits in December 2023. It only has $54 billion left.

Russian Nazis and Russian neo-Nazi movements. (threadreaderapp.com)
 

In today's #vatniksoup I'll talk about Russian Nazis and introduce Russian neo-Nazi movements and paramilitary groups like Rusich and PMC Wagner. They're best-known for being funded by the Kremlin and being responsible for the "denazification" in Ukraine.

So basically, we're waiting for a (hopefully very soon) systemic collapse of moscovite army since they bet both their attack and defence on artillery

what's crazy is that Ukraine already neutralised (killed and wounded) 100% of what was the entire pre-war army of the moscovites (around 900K), 100% of non-reserve tanks and now getting close to 75% of artillery.
