You'd need to go to many sources. But also remember that these kind of things happen "slowly at first, then all at once". There's no way to tell whether it will be tomorrow or in 2 years but the signs are all there, same as during the fall of the Soviet Union which took everyone by surprise though the signs were there.

Watch some videos from covert cabal about military stockpiles. Read about Russia's sovereign wealth fund, true inflation rate, bankrupcy rates, bank withdrawal laws and other monetary protections (money expatriation, etc), oil export restrictions, oil rationing within Russia, Putin's theft from the private sector, and rate of printing money.

I wish I could give you one source for all of this, but I spend probably 1-2 hours every day getting updates on the war and it comes from everywhere. Here are a couple videos to start:

"Do you have any sources for your claim that Russia is collapsing?"

"Well, here are some YouTube videos..."

US liberals have less than zero geopolitical self-awareness.

I've read literally thousands of articles on this particular subject. I'm not going to write him a thesis paper. I chose those videos because they tend to cite their sources and can be a good jumping off point.

When asked for a source, you link to YouTube videos that "tend to cite their sources"?

Also, can you describe what a "thesis paper" is to your understanding?
