Putin Under Huge Pressure to Make Grave Mistake. Russia's War Communications Collapsed. - The Russian Dude

[TexasTowelie]

In this video, we break down how a quiet technical change triggered one of the most revealing collapses in Russia’s war effort to date, exposing just how fragile Kremlin military communications really are. When Starlink quietly enforced device white lists and cut off unauthorized terminals, Russian forces didn’t just lose convenience — they lost the backbone of frontline coordination, drone guidance, and real-time command and control. Units went silent, operations unraveled, and pro-war voices openly panicked, revealing that Russia’s army had built daily combat operations on smuggled Western technology it neither controlled nor officially acknowledged.

This analysis explains why the Starlink restriction was so devastating, how Ukraine’s IT-driven approach allowed it to surgically shut down Russian access without harming its own forces, and what this moment says about years of Russian planning based on shortcuts, improvisation, and denial. We explore how temporary fixes quietly became doctrine, how a lack of redundancy created a single point of failure, and why this communications shock fits a broader pattern of systemic avoidance inside Russia’s military machine.

Most importantly, we examine the pressure now building around Vladimir Putin to make a grave strategic mistake by forcing a rushed, symbolic replacement like GLONASS into widespread use. Marketed as a patriotic alternative, Russia’s domestic navigation system suffers from corruption, instability, and performance gaps that could introduce even more dangerous failures through false reliability and complacency. This video connects the dots between corruption, technological fragility, war endurance over effectiveness, and why Russia’s conflict strategy is optimized not for victory, but for endless continuation.
