Russia turns on Putin

Politicians demand ‘immediate withdrawal’ from Ukraine as 100 servicemen are fired for refusing to take part in the invasion

A veteran Russian legislator has issued an appeal to Vladimir Putin to stop military action, bring his troops home and end the war in Ukraine.

Communist deputy Leonid Vasyukevich, 69, blasted the use of Moscow’s servicemen in Ukraine, as a Russian court dismissed more than 100 national guardsmen in the first case of soldiers refusing to fight in Ukraine as politicians demanded the army return home.

Members of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, a separate military branch from the Russian army refused to carry out an assignment related to Moscow's 'special operation' in Ukraine.

A military court in Russia's southern republic of Kabardino-Balkaria found that the defendants 'arbitrarily refused to perform an official assignment' and turned down their appeal.

The hearing was held behind closed doors to avoid revealing 'military secrets,' according to the Moscow Times.

I periodically see stuff about punting Putin. But, how much is true? He re-wrote the law so he can run again. Seems pretty entrenched to me. The oligarchs are getting mad about sanctions supposedly. Yet there are people on the street who still say Putin is not doing a war and they support him.
Russia and the Soviet Union always had no problem dumping leaders before. What hold does Putin have?
I think the rich have to be siding with him. The army is the control the...hm...governing guys?...use. So if there is dissatisfaction with Putin, how come he isnt suddenly incapacitated so to speak?
well lets hope that bit of info is true
Russia is not winning the war and the Oligarchs demand victory. They will oust him.
