    People under estimate the power of corruption and the power of power.
    It reminds me of this trading saying: "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

    In other words we may wish and speculate as much as we like that Putin will shortly fail, but (irrationally?) he is probably being propped up by the underhand dealings from the East and West and irrationally Putin and or his regime may survive yet further a very long time.

    The tittle is a bit of over-statement, but still, the crew must have been :

    One issue is that even if Putin suffers a demise and is not longer President of Russia then anyone who replaces him will be just like him. A spokesperson for Putin even stated this in a recent press conference. This reflects that most of Putin's current inner circle hold his same values; some are even more nationalistic and stringent in regards to their desire to wipe out Ukraine.

    Kremlin says Putin or "someone else, but guy just like him" will win election

    Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson for the Russian President, believes that the next leader of Russia will be "the same" as Vladimir Putin or "different, but the same".

    Source: TASS, a Kremlin-aligned Russian news outlet, citing Peskov

    Details: Asked what the president should be like after Vladimir Putin, Peskov succinctly answered, "The same."

    Asked to clarify whether this is possible, he replied that the next president could be "different, but the same" as Putin.

    Peskov added that he "doesn't doubt Putin's victory" in the elections.

    Reference: In 2008, the Russian Federation established a presidential term of 6 years, which began to apply to presidents elected after the adoption of the relevant amendments, starting with the 2012 elections.

    Due to the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation introduced in 2020, Putin is eligible to run for presidency twice more, starting in 2024.

    The presidential elections in Russia are to be held in March 2024. Putin has not yet officially announced his candidacy but the media assumed that he would announce his intention to run for office in November-December.

    Last time time i checked it was him, putin, who shared magical hypothesis about Kiev being taken in 3 days.

    Chornaja magija (black magic)

    It took 40k units alone, to take Bakhmut, it would be at least 400 000 for half of the Kiev.

    That scenario is as distant as aliens landing tomorrow in Moscow, abducting him & SnP gapping up 500 points.

    P.s Russians getting beaten up in the south as we ,,speak", while loosing 1k vatniks/per day in Donetsk.
    & they're offering now 1Mil rubbles for joining their ,, Elite Forces " (?) Majority of their elites are long dead/left the Ukraine, 10k (at the best) wonders around with wagner, with questionable loyalty/desire to fight.

    No longer Russians can have a functioning fleet. Baltics, - out of equation. Black Sea, - as well. Last time they tried something in the east, Japan wasted them. Twice.

    Ukrainians showed multiple times that their drones can reach far into Russian mainland, while Russian anti air is good only for taking down their own (prigozin, but he might be still alive, because he jumped out of the plane into the woods nearby, before it hit the ground)

    Satelite pics showing that by 2025-2026 they might have no tanks left. Parking fields/bases half empty.

    Iran might get messed up with all of their drone factories, if they continue attacking what they should not.

    Germans gona double their aid to UA in 2024 (?)

    ,, Russia can drag this war "

    Uhm. At what cost.

    Russia is not having luck getting weapons that work from anyone.

    The days of Soviet style snitching are back in Putin's Russia. Everyone needs to be wary of their neighbors and who may turn them in for something they said... and in many cases for something they never said -- but the neighbor made up for revenge.

    Russian police are overwhelmed by the number of people snitching on neighbors and colleagues

    In Russia, more Kremlin critics are being imprisoned as intolerance of dissent grows
