Cracks In Putin's "Invincibility": Is His Time Up?

Putin, Russia’s war against Ukraine, and the Kremlin’s crisis of control frame this conversation with Jason Smart and Jonathan Fink of Silicon Curtain. The focus is whether Putin is finally losing control as Russia absorbs terminal damage across its oil infrastructure, military logistics, propaganda machine, elite networks, and carefully protected image of invincibility. Recent Russian news points to a regime projecting strength while damage moves closer to Moscow. Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy targets, burning refineries, port disruptions, battlefield attrition, nuclear threats, and harder Kremlin messaging all point to the same danger for Putin: the war is no longer distant, contained, or easily hidden from the Russian public. Jonathan Fink connects Silicon Curtain’s work on propaganda, digital disinformation, corruption, hybrid warfare, conspiracy networks, and authoritarian influence operations to the pressure now building inside Russia. The conversation links Russia burning, Putin’s shrinking room for maneuver, NATO deterrence, Ukraine’s strike campaign, and the political consequences of a war machine that can still threaten, but can no longer fully conceal the damage. #Putin #UkraineWar #SiliconCurtain
