A link to The GrayZone is basically admitting somebody subscribes to or actively disseminates misinformation.
Possibly the clearest indication I have found so far.

A link to TheGrayZone is like throwing in the towel without admitting it. It's like surrendering while keeping up appearances. They may as well link The Onion.

Here is my hypothesis (fun thing about a hypothesis is that it can be wrong). I also predict my hypothesis will be most likely wrong, but I will put it here anyway. A big civil revolt will only start happening once Moscow and St. Petersberg's instagrammer class cannot afford their luxury goods like they usually can. So far the war has zero effect on them. Proof of this is to look at russian instagrammers who usually show their luxury goods on instagram. Non of them have slowed down in their decadent lifestyles. Poorer provinces in russia are probably already suffering, but to St petersburgers and moscow resisdents those people don't matter.


Here is a list of 10 such instagrammers. If you look at their profiles, you will still see they are living as if nothing happened: https://www.heepsy.com/ranking/top-instagram-influencers-in-moscow There a lot more than those. One can look specifically at the Russian model accounts in Moscow and st petersberg region.

Putin has an entire department with tens of thousands of people protecting him. He is not going until he either dies, or has a major health event and while he is incapacitated his generals get rid of him. I don't see any other options. A spontaneous uprising could happens but would require a much larger amount of pain on the Russian people and lets face it, even at the end of WW2 Hitler still did not face a significant civil war.

A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.
It only takes 1 person in his inner circle to pull a trigger.
