2. Then why aren't all the other oligarchs, intelligence community, military leadership. and almost all citizens revolting?

After all the death and destruction, their lives are now going to be fucked economically. I would think Putin is screwed. Nobody will want him there. And, he can't go anywhere else in the world either. He's a threat to everyone around him now. And, they're potentially threats to him.

Wonder how this is going to play out. How soon til he's gone?

And, then with Putin, Orban, Bolsonaro, , and hopefully soon Milei and BiBi gone. Where will the Trump administration criminals go?

I know it's just wishful thinking at this point but, the situation is not favorable to any of them. Milei and BiBi are probably not presently in any real danger but if things keep going badly in their countries too and the Republicans lose in November and even more so in 2028,
Argentina and Israel will likely lose US support.
