An excellent article from @jeremymorris.bsky.social and @seva.bsky.social on Putin's self-inflicted constraints when it comes to the Ukraine war. Especially important reading for Western policymakers who spend too much time "trying to read Putin's mind." www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/inert...

“The central technology of autocratic rule is not repression but administration. …Purges, coups, and dramatic confrontations are the exceptions and often symptoms of failure.”
I look at some new work on comparative autocracy.
Russian economy and society have been reorganized around war. There are now powerful domestic incentives that make ending the war difficult and even dangerous for Russia’s president.

After more than four years of fighting in Ukraine, “Russia’s economy and society have been reorganized around war,” write @seva.bsky.social and @jeremymorris.bsky.social. In fact, “war has so transformed the economy that it might collapse without it.”

Not to mention returning veterans, apart from being without income, may be 'ethically challenged' after all they've seen and done in Ukraine.
