Meta...A fascinating topic! While there's no guaranteed formula for predicting government collapse, I can provide some common patterns and telltale signs that have historically preceded the downfall of governments. Keep in mind that these signs don't necessarily mean collapse is imminent, but they can indicate growing instability: 1. *Widespread discontent and protests*: Increasing frequency and intensity of public demonstrations, riots, or strikes. 2. *Economic instability*: Hyperinflation, currency devaluation, food shortages, or severe economic inequality. 3. *Corruption and cronyism*: Rampant corruption, nepotism, and favoritism, leading to loss of public trust. 4. *Erosion of civil liberties*: Restrictions on free speech, assembly, and the press, indicating a government's fear of dissent. 5. *Militarization and repression*: Increasing use of military force against civilians, or the creation of paramilitary groups. 6. *Divided leadership and infighting*: Power struggles, coups, or open conflicts within the ruling party or government. 7. *Loss of legitimacy*: Widespread perception that the government has lost its mandate to rule, often due to election fraud or manipulation. 8. *Regionalism and separatism*: Growing demands for autonomy or independence from regions or groups within the country. 9. *Environmental disasters and neglect*: Government inaction or mismanagement of environmental crises, leading to public outrage. 10. *International isolation*: Diplomatic isolation, sanctions, or condemnation from other nations, indicating a loss of international legitimacy. 11. *Surveillance state and propaganda*: Increased monitoring of citizens, censorship, and dissemination of false information to control the narrative. 12. *Unaddressed social and economic inequality*: Failure to address systemic issues, leading to growing resentment and frustration among marginalized groups. Some historical examples of governments that exhibited these signs before collapsing include: - Ancient Rome (corruption, economic troubles, military overextension) - French monarchy (financial crisis, food shortages, popular discontent) - Soviet Union (economic stagnation, corruption, nationalist movements) - Venezuela (hyperinflation, food shortages, political repression) Keep in mind that each situation is unique, and the presence of these signs doesn't guarantee a government's collapse. However, they can indicate growing instability and increased risk of collapse.
putin after 10 says of Kursk catastrophe summons stalin's goast stalin: "what happened" putin: "nazis are at Kursk. My armies are beaten. What should i do??" stalin: " do like i did in 1943. Send Ukrainian troops to the front and ask USA for arms!"
Zelenskyy Kursk misadventure already failed. Zelenskyy had a pipe dream to capture Kursk NPP. Capturing at such a staggering cost a string of villages in the middle of nowhere that can't be held makes zero military sense. Zelenskyy wasted so far 2,640 troops KIA, 298 armored vehicles, 24 artillery systems, 4 anti-aircraft systems on this another costly PR misadventure while vital Ukrainian positions at the actual front are crumbling. It's the same nutty pattern as was with Bakhmut, Krinky or a publicly announced failed Zelenskyy offensive in 2023. Zelenskyy is the gift that keeps on giving to the Russians advised by even nuttier DC gifts.
I disagree, they have given the Russians a dilemma, have exposed their weakness in numbers and reaction speed, exposed Putin to internal threats if he has to mobilize oligarchs sons to bridge the gap in manpower. these just naming two.
lol compairing 2 brigade attack without support into russia 2024 with inchon landings. Napoleon Karl XII and Hitler failed with huge armies. Ukraine cant even takw the first villagw with 5000 citizens.
Cheers for giving Michael clarke more talking time👌

Hey BFBS 👊🏼
Another great podcast with depth and insight.
Thanks for sharing & the update 👍🏻
Ubique
russia advertising for trench diggers, more like the *Colditz undertaker scene* 😅😂

My armies are beaten. What should i do??"

I can see a d day landing in Crimea coming in the near future
LOL!🤣
Madness.
The greatest shame is allowing so many bots and trolls into the BFBS comment section.
The guy talking around 18.00 is nuts and obviously was never a soldier. Wars are kind of always someone attacking and someone defending.
russia is still advancing in dambass !

Ukraine now controls over 70 villages in Kursk.

Maybe the Ukrainian army can stop the boats ... I would seriously consider it if I had the leisure to do so
