      I suspect that if things continue in the trajectory that they seem to be heading, that people from Russia who exit may likely be better-off too, as much as moving countries is a significant barrier.

      Wouldn’t those be jobs that typically require advanced education? Why would they want to throw that subset of the population into the meat grinder?

          Good read. So it sounds like your analysis of the situation is that it is short sighted and Putin is simply a Megalomaniac attempting to hold onto power, would you say that is an accurate summary? Or is he just crazy and super optimistic that things will change all the sudden one day?

          Because even if you kept all the people physically producing bombs and shells, eventually you will run out of the educated people that run the other industries that support the military industrial system in Russia if this goes on for long enough.
