    Public opinion solidified with over 70% in support of the war. Western decision to cancel all things Russian basically sealed the deal on that. When it was just the sanctions, people could understand it. Now the mask fell off and Russians see how much the west hates them as people. This perfectly plays into the narrative that the war was self defence against NATO expansion. Meanwhile, there’s absolutely no evidence of the rouble becoming worthless.

    It took heavy propaganda to keep western public believing that the war is going poorly for Russia, and that the sanctions will crash Russian economy. However, as people are starting to become increasingly unable to afford necessities, I wonder what the reaction in the west will be. I suspect western people are going to catch on in greater numbers.
