Statistically, only about 12 percent of personality based regimes fall within 2 years of losing a war, so we shall see. It won’t change anything anyway, Russia’s malaise is much deeper than a single dictator.
I was thinking the oligarchs might grow tired of his shit and whack him.

I'm sure it's being discussed.

Yea it’s just not as likely as we want to hope. The oligarchs have a lot less influence than we assume, they are dependent on Putin for their wealth. Putin has spent 2 decades crafting a state where it is hard to remove the central authority. He’s the most paranoid mofo alive.

Also Hauler @Hauler if Putin is removed I would assume that Russia would descend into a state of at least quasi-civil war, which is very bad for the world as they are the worlds largest nuclear power.

Maybe.
But I'm not sure that's all that worse than what we have now.

Remember how worried everyone was when the USSR broke up and there were thousands of unsecured nukes lying around?
Yeah, there were a bunch of them in some country called Ukraine as I recall.

Wasn't there something about them giving them up in exchange for guarantees of sovereignty? Maybe that's just my memory playing tricks on me ;)

No. I was like 18. Too busy chasing tail and scoring beer for the parties.

You know this is just the standard intake that occurs every year, right? It's actually a lot lower than it was a decade ago and basically the same as last year.

I'm actually surprised they aren't pumping those numbers up.

Edit - Of course CNN doesn't actually mention this.
