This is outstanding work by @jeremymorris.bsky.social and @seva.bsky.social

Andor is political science.
Great essay by @seva.bsky.social and @jeremymorris.bsky.social about why it will be hard for Putin to end the war without throwing Russia into chaos.
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...
yep. this is a crazy stat, for example:
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.”
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.

Informative look at the Russian war economy as a structural force that disincentivizes peace - from @seva.bsky.social and @jeremymorris.bsky.social 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.

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