I wonder if it could be reasonably researched and verified that russia has enough military to defend itself after 10 years of bombing 3 different countries and such.
Perhaps offensive maneuvers in his country would show some truth.

Right now it's literally bluffs on his part.

I suppose you are right. Ideally, it would come from within like.. hmm.. ?..
The FLQ?
Just kidding. This link is to a brief summary or what 'success' looks like (2019):
Despite the unfavorable winds, the past year shows that defending human rights remains a worthy imperative. When governments see political or economic advantage in violating rights, rights defenders still can raise the price of abuse and shift the cost-benefit calculus to convince governments that repression does not pay. The terrain for the fight has shifted, with many long-time participants missing in action or even switching sides. But effective coalitions have emerged to oppose governments that are not accountable to their people and respectful of their rights. With this report, Human Rights Watch seeks to expand this re-energized global defense of a rights-respecting future.
