4 Factors Amplifying Each Other—It Breaks Bad for Russia

Russia’s challenge isn’t a single battlefield setback; it’s a feedback loop. Drone dominance, mass production, attrition, and leadership failure are no longer isolated trends—they amplify one another. In this video, I explain how recent strikes, air-defense outcomes, casualty dynamics, and command failures combine to narrow Moscow’s options and accelerate losses. This isn’t about sudden collapse. It’s about a system entering a phase where every month hurts more than the last.
