Amazing analysis. The innocents in Ukraine are suffering and dying immediately but the rest of Europe and the world is going to be suffering too as this drags on.

But since I don't know Russian politics, what happens if for several possible reasons Putin is somehow not in charge in a month, or a year?

Who is in the wings and will they continue their crime against Ukraine or will they bring everyone home?



There’s no one in the wings, at least as far as we can see.

The reason? The russia’s oldest tradition where power is taken, not given.

If, and it’s a huge if, there’s a change then I gotta think it’s going to be for the better, at least initially.


The trouble is that the scenarios in which Putin loses power because of this are marginal at best.
