@amenka I'd imagine a covert, "hybrid" mobilization, carried out in such a fashion as to lend it an appearance of not being carried out. Although I cannot say how it's gonna look like in details. A famous Z-blogger Maxim Kalashnikov wrote that it will affect provinces, not the bi 127 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

There's a lot of chatter right now about a possible second wave of mobilization in Russia. I'm skeptical of these rumors. But it's worth remembering how the first one unfolded — chaotic, improvised, and pushed down on regional governors with no plan and no budget.

@amenka @FT (from the 2024 article) "middle-class Russians are becoming soldiers and police officers—and thus state dependents."

This is the "impossible trilemma" (https://t.co/DzxO2CAvSB) breaking — Putin could fund the war, hold prices and protect growth only while the reserves lasted. Now they're gone. A regime that runs on quietly invoicing its own people ends poorer, angrier, and eventually short of 52.5K views · 534 likes · 95 reposts · 17 replies Open on X →

The West keeps looking for cracks in Putin's regime, such as elite splits and falling ratings. The real erosion is duller, as I argue in my piece for @FT In 72 hours, parliament let the finance ministry borrow past the debt ceiling — no Duma needed.

The pattern runs top to bottom: suspend the rules, push the cost onto whoever can't refuse. Companies will soon pay for their own air defense; regions will absorb deferred debt; savers will pay through inflation. 2/ 16.4K views · 278 likes · 26 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →
