Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims Vladimir Putin "will die soon" amid growing rumors about the Russian leader’s failing health. Meanwhile, France pledges $2 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
Fear of the “next guy” is the only reason la’orang is still alive. All of this is the fault of people gearing “what’s next”. The number of evil people on earth is finite. Even if the next one is worse, there’s only one way forward. So just take the win. The number of evil is about to drop by one
The entire “ecosystem” of Russian leadership is built around a strongman. If Putin dies, the next one win based on the criteria that made Putin the leader. So there are two options: a big fucking fight, or someone roughly as bad.
And if it’s option 2, their level of shittyness depends mostly on how effective Putin was in defenestrating his rivals.
One thing about regimes like Putin’s and Trump’s is that they actively select against clever and competent people. Because clever and competent people are a threat to Dear Leader’s power.
It will be a big fucking fight, simply because that same ecosystem wasn’t built with power transition in mind. There’s no successor, no committee strong enough to fallback to, no independent power brokers.
The result is pretty much a coin toss, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for a better outcome.
Russia is a mafia state and russians are buck broken completely to only accept iron fisted otets as they still daily jerk off to stalin and his genocides.
I doubt they would knowingly elect a good leader even if they had true democracy, a candiadate and freedom.
As sad as this sounds. This seems to be the state of things. It would require generations to fix this. The best case scenario would be to split Russia into smaller pieces and then fix the individual pieces. Doing the same thing to the US and China. Wouldn’t hurt either.
Im more for forcible eu occupation for a decade during which education, quality of life are oncreased and corruption is rooted out before free elections are allowed.
Then join eu within 5 years.
Russia could’ve been the gem of the free world by now if they kept with yeltsin.
I just hope Putin won’t be replaced by someone as bad as him.

Well isn’t he surrounded by yes men like all “strong men” are? If you don’t stroke putins ego all day every day you go out a window for real.
Shit in one hand, hope in the other
