Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims Vladimir Putin "will die soon" amid growing rumors about the Russian leader’s failing health. Meanwhile, France pledges $2 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
After Stalin it took more than 50 years for anyone to achieve the kind of power that he had. Once Valodja is gone (can’t be soon enough), the situation will be similar. The satraps will fight among themselves and maybe, just maybe there will be some meaningful opposition again.
It’s also important to note that Putin intentionally keeps all other leaders in Russia as weak as possible to maintain his iron grip. Unless he has a very good succession plan, things could become quite a clusterfuck before the dust settles.
