Which is another way of saying he can take Ukrainian/Western escalation in the war on the chin.Pjotr Sauer (@PjotrSauer)Agree with  @olliecarroll. The whole premise that Putin would face domestic unrest because he “lost” the war is flawed. Barring a truly catastrophic defeat (unlikely), he will be able to manufacture almost any outcome as a victory. Most Russians will gladly accept that narrative—  https://x.com/PjotrSauer/status/2076983298421608886
