Russia’s police force is in crisis, with officers are quitting to become taxi-drivers and couriers.

      Unfortunately, that’s when they bring in the famously well-behaved and rational military to supplement the police force.

        With what spare troops, exactly? They’ve been sending any spare units they can find straight to the wood chipper that is the Ukraine war. The Russians don’t have any logistical flexibility to speak of at this point.

    Honestly, I feel like people are going after the wrong issue.

    Russia had a sudden uptick in people who’ve experienced violent combat. US history shows that these people are, on average, less stable and more violent than usual.

    Crime enforcement is going down, but a large part of that is because crime is going up.

        History would say, yes he can.

        Russia has some areas that are so polluted with radiactive waste, they will probably remain so far beyond mankins history on earth.

        Directly dropping nukes on them, who knows, Tsar Bomba had a larger blast radius than they expected and while detonated in a low population area, Russia was never really concerned with making sure it was a no population area.

    It is just an opinion article without any meaningful statistics from country fighting Russia.

    BBC is sponsored be UK government.

    It is nothing but propaganda from UK.
