Aren't there any billionaires in Putin's inner circle that would like to install their own pro-western puppet? Someone in Putin's inner circle can get his billions unfrozen, install his own hand-picked Putin replacement, and get the approval of the U.S. All at once! (let's get "Putin's replacement" trending on social media. it's the next step.)
Roman Abramovich: there's billions more, just laying there waiting to be picked up. Just install your own guy. (Clear his/her name with the U.S. first. Phone lines open 24 hrs. a day!) Some other oligarch will do it, if you don't.
The billionaires were warned to stay out of politics. If they violate the warning, they end up in prison like Khodorovsky. Most are Jews. They don't have the power in Russia. The real power is held by a group of former KGB like Putin.
Replacement? When do these despots ever get replaced from the inside? If anything his war and these sanctions will just make his grip on power stronger.
I think I heard a report over on CNN that Trump might be in the running to replace Putin. And they were acting like that would be a bad thing. I could be wrong.

Putin has always been paranoid. You don't get to be the mayor of St. Petersburg, and then into the 2nd directorate and not be paranoid.
I am not buying this -- it is probably just wishful thinking from some analyst. Vladimir Putin 'has terminal illness and may be dying from cancer', ex-military source says Vladimir Putin's health is currently being speculated and sources have alleged he has terminal cancer https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/vladimir-putin-has-terminal-illness-23305021
