The Russian people are the only ones who can stop Putin without triggering a nuclear conflict with NATO.

So far, they're not doing their job. Maybe we haven't incentivized them sufficiently.

Keep in mind that "their job" in this scenario means revolution against a government that is more than willing to lock you away in Siberia for 15 years. It's a steep expectation and we shouldn't be surprised when most citizens don't volunteer to forgo their livelihoods and everything they've built up so far for the cause.

The Russian government offers its own incentives, in form of prison terms for anyone who so much as utters the word "war".

12k people arrested in protests so far, and counting. >4k in a single day recently.
