The shelves at Moscow supermarkets are full of fruit and vegetables, cheese and meat. But many of the shoppers look at the selection with dismay as inflation makes their wallets feel empty.
I think it’s funny that you think any country will have even 5% of their population actually come out and protest ANYTHING.
I did some googling and in the US, the 2017 women’s march was the largest march in US history with a whopping… 1.7% population participation.
And yes, there are some protests that had a big portion of their populations come out. Take 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests. Roughly 2 million people came out and protested, roughly over a quarter of the population. And you know what happened? Nothing. People were beaten, died, and China still got Hong Kong. And this was while there was still some local control of HK. Keep in mind, this is a people DEFENDING THEIR COUNTRY from an effective HOSTILE TAKEOVER and they got a quarter. A war taking .2%? Even if 1% were impacted, there’s no shot people are going to risk protesting when the world is doing that for them.

I think it’s funny that you failed to understand what I wrote and couldn’t let go of the 5 percent…
