How long before Putin's demise?

[Recycle_Guru]

Can't come soon enough for me. Glad the US and other allies are shoveling all the military tech and hardware to the Ukrainians they can.

1. politically or mortally?

Either way, not soon.

[Recycle_Guru]

2. hoth. and tgings happen quickly when the power structure is in disarray in Russia

Elites are sick of their home territory being attacked by Ukranian drones due to Putin's hard drive n for Kiev

[WarGamer]

3. The power structure is not in disarray

Full blown authoritarian regime... iron grip type shit.

First hand knowledge, trust me.

4. Inknow for a fact you are wrong

[WarGamer]

5. lol... OK

make sure you claim "I knew it" when he's out of power.

[Recycle_Guru]

6. will do. he won't make it past 2023

7. I see the Wagner soldiers seeking revenge for this plane crash of their leader

[Recycle_Guru]

8. there are a lot of bad dudes in that group

so a definite possibility

13. I doubt they'll find it easy getting back into Russia from where Vlad's lodged them in Africa

Putin's well guarded. The unimaginative thugs who made up Wagner are unlikely to get organized and then to outthink Putin's security teams. Revenge is a fun plot point in fiction, but in real life thugs tend to scatter when their bosses blow up.

9. Medvedev is the one that really needs to go.

Putin wouldn't be in power without Medvedev appointing him. The sooner both of these assholes are wiped from our collective existence the better.

[Recycle_Guru]

10. really? Medvedev was the puppet with Putin's hand up his ass

back when Putin was still trying to dance around the rules for term limits. It was always Putin's show.

[Initech]

11. Well, either way both assholes need to go!

I'm not a violent person, I just want one well placed missile to take out Putin, his minions, and his troll army. Just one.

[tinrobot]

12. Who knows, but his replacement might not be any better.

[Bucky]

14. this

Putin won't pull out of Ukraine or cut a deal to end the fighting. If he gets taken out, the one certain thing is that whoever replaces him will find he can't end the fighting. Admitting Ukraine was a mistake is a sign of weakness. The one thing a coupmaker can't afford to do in Russia is give any indication of weakness, not even for a ceasefire. It'd demoralize the country and lead to even greater dissatisfaction among the wingnuts most likely to seize power next.

It's perverse, but Putin in office is Ukraine's best chance to have peace by 2025.

15. we will ensure Ukraine has the means to bomb them into the stone age. it is over for Putin

2023 will be a very bad year for both Trump and Putin
