When faced with domestic/personal political problems, an easy method to sideline & slowly solve them, is to start or escalate #war.

It shifts the public conversation, changes the legal & political environment /interests, eases expanded military action at home, & creates opportunities to reward & align with certain factions (oligarchs, corporations, #military leaders).

Here are my thoughts and analysis on the subject in the shape of a table.

What do you think?

Took me a while to make this :)

Please share if you think this makes sense!

*Focusing on recent / ongoing conflicts!

Limiting it to the last years of Putin is absolutely incorrect. Look into the 1999 apartment bombings in connection to the war in Chechnya, the NTV takeover, Putin's handling of the Nord-Ost and Beslan sieges and the Kursk disaster, as well as the early killings and persecution of his political opponents: Politkovskaya, Litvinenko, and Khodorkovsky. The invasion of Georgia that you hinted at was in 2008. The invasion of Ukraine was in 2014.
