Man is lazy.

Satisfaction of needs.

Motivation. In the face of a personal threat, people are ready to make any sacrifices to avoid that threat. Actually, the phrase: "your life or your wallet" is built on this principle. Robbers do not even need to threaten; they just need to show a knife and ask for money. The victim will think up the rest independently. There are of course "heroes" who carry protective equipment with them or are weapons themselves. But they are few, so they are not described in this thesis. At the level of the state, the motivation of the people happens in times when an external enemy is designated. Citizens think up the rest themselves.

Faith in authorities. The mechanism of faith itself is very poorly studied. Basically, we know that a person needs to believe in something. In god, or in the absence of god, in the devil or supernatural powers. The main thing is that this faith be universal. For many years humanity invented this faith, and finally invented it. This universal faith is called science. And the greatest authorities are scientists, in common parlance "experts". It is difficult, of course, to persuade someone that science is lies and obscurantism.

I will give just one example, of which there are many in science, if one begins to study it closely, with a healthy dose of skepticism. Newton's third law, simplified, says: every action causes a reaction, F = -F. Moreover, the formula of equal forces is hammered in from school. But for some reason no one has bothered, according to the rules of mathematics, to move one F to the other, so that it would turn out: F+F=0 or 2F=0 actually, the formula is not workable from the point of view of mathematics.

But physicists continue to insist that the minus means direction, and therefore these forces cannot be moved as in mathematics, since they are equal in magnitude, etc. Excuses, and covering one lie with another lie. I understand that I am encroaching on the sacred, on faith in science, and therefore it is difficult to prove anything. Therefore the goal is not to prove, but to mark out. Look for the proofs independently.

When the four simple theses are laid out, the structure of the state appears, consisting of three parts: subsystem, system, and supersystem. The subsystem is a lazy people who need only the satisfaction of needs and who are maximally pliable in moments of fear and trust authorities. The system is the body regulating the flow of satisfaction of needs, fear, and appointing authorities. The supersystem is the crown of creation, a person or, more precisely, people who have climbed to the top of the food chain and pull the system's strings.

Every system has a vulnerability - this is the nature of highly organized structures. In the state such a vulnerability is a popular revolt or, in other words, a revolution. But the Romans devised a way to manage this vulnerability too, which is called "tyranny". During a crisis, the senate chose a tyrant for a limited term, who was freed from responsibility, but after the expiration of the designated term was obliged to leave his post.

The tyrant's task was not to establish order as such, but to aggravate the situation as much as possible and to carry out a harsh military suppression of the resulting chaos. The next stage was the stage of recreating a new system based on the old principles. At the same time, authorities were changed, new threats were designated, and a new plan for satisfying needs was formed.

Now a description of the situation of Ukraine and Russia, in light of everything said above. Then Vova got scared, because his subsystem is almost fed in the large regions, and destitute on the periphery. That means he should turn on the tyrant at home as well, otherwise revolt is possible at home too. It remained to adjust the settings so that even if the subsystem detonates, the motive would be directed not at the supersystem, i.e. not at Vova, but somewhere outside. Thus appeared the Kyiv junta, Right Sector members, Banderites, and evil Americans, joined by no less evil Europe.

Then Vova decided, like any tyrant, to play around. He showed a little knife in the form of military exercises on the border with Ukraine and asked for Crimea; everyone agreed, it seems. But the appointed authorities blundered with the internet, and information began to leak.

If one tries to imagine what will happen next, there are not many options here. Either a revolt in Russia, or an open war with the whole world and then a revolt in Russia. In any case, Russia's hungry subsystem will detonate - it is a question of time. If Vova intensifies the chaos in Ukraine, many in Russia's subsystem may not like that; after all, there are many relatives. If the chaos in Ukraine is not managed, then a revolt in Russia will begin as soon as things calm down in Ukraine. Vova's situation is a stalemate.

In any case, he will pull the levers of the system, and more often than he has pulled them. I think, everyone is waiting for new stupid laws, increases and decreases in food supplies, and the appearance of authoritative authorities who will clarify everything for everyone more clearly.
