      They can’t. Russia’s economy is only war now. Large parts of the private sector went bankrupt some time ago. Stopping the war would also cause an economic crash

        plus 1million+ men fled russia early in the war too. since russia has 144m people, they lost 1/14 population from that alone, and then the “deaths and casualties”

          Sorry the math ain’t mathing. 1M is a lot, and russia has significantly damaged its demographics, but the math just ain’t mathing

            Nah, it works out fine. If you lose 1 in 144, that clearly calculates to 1 in 14. Maybe even 1 in 1. Anybody seen Russia lately?

              Besides, as much as I wish for the numbers to be big, most likely there were less than 1M leaving the country for good.

                Also leaving Russia does not equate to disagreeing with Russia. Just disagreeing with personally dying for Russia.
