"Putin cannot last much longer."

It may come as a surprise to see the Russian President forever hammering out the same arguments, the same facts, the same references, in a world that is constantly changing - if only on the scale of his own war, since we have gone from “taking Kiev in three days” to the current war of positions.

In reality, if Putin’s words have not changed one syntagm, it is because, from his own point of view, they should not change: the fact that they remain identical is consistent with his ends. A usurper has no need to adapt to a changing world, since his sole objective is to keep the world as it is.
