Putin has lost the political support of the Russian people. Morale in the Russian army throughout the ranks is very low. The Russian nation is suffering. Putin has made a catastrophic , bad decision. In such situations the political infrastructure somehow ,someway removes the autocrat. Do any Freepers care to speculate just how long the distressed Putin remains in office? The West seems to be giving Russian politicians an out by placing all the blame on Putin.
I figure that the parliament passed the recognition of Ukrainian alleged breakaways as instructed. There is one member pitching a fit, but it doesn’t look like impeachment is going to happen. His inner circle looks scared. There is the weird thing about him staying 20 feet away from other people, is that due to mental or physical health? Some journalist said he was a very lonely man, is that due to paranoia setting in? He still has enough people to arrest all those protestors, but Putin has annoyed a lot of people all over the world in various war zones. Maybe some group of freedom fighters/terrorists will take advantage of the chaos to sneak in snd get the job done. If Anonymous is good to their word, they will get the goods on him and publish it. That would change the world!
My thought is that some old enemy will take advantage of the chaos to kill him. I don’t know where that would leave us with the Russian nuke codes.
Putin has spent a lifetime acquiring enemies.
