I have kept a bottle of bubbles in the fridge for one of two possible celebrations for far too long now.
No matter how many bad people are waiting to take his place, one less Putin in the world is a net positive.
His replacement will almost certainly be bad but they will have the opportunity to hang the whole Ukraine debacle on Putin and end the war. No certainty of this of course, but it's possible.
New world order: Putin dies, successor adopts democracy and joins NATO, Trump leaves NATO and goes full authoritarian, US becomes new dictatorship while Russia becomes new leader of the free world.
Even if Putin's successor adopts real democracy, it will take generations to change the national psyche that thinks they need a strong leader. As much as the west hates Putin, he does have real support among the people. At least as long as he remains strong.
🤣
I mean, the US and Germany essentially reversed roles.
Also China and Japan.
Wtf is this simulation, so fucking bizzare and absurd.
Anyone done a health check on our Dear Leader of The Most Perfect Health Kim Il Trump?
My worry is that if Putin is on his death bed that he will launch the nukes because he wants to take the world with him. Trump would probably do the same.
I very highly doubt that Putin would do this. Putin isn't a genius, but he's nowhere near being an idiot. He knows if he did that, Russia would die with the rest of the world. And he's never given any sort of hint that he's the kind of person that wants the whole world to die with him.
Not only that, but like the United States, it isn't actually Putin who launches the nukes. And there are historical instances of Russian nuclear officers refusing to launch nukes. I honestly trust the warmongering, imperialist dictator Putin not to launch more than I trust our own president, and that's terrifying to think about. Because Trump IS exactly the sort of person to order a nuclear launch because he's throwing a hissy fit and believes the myth of American exceptionalism.
rumors about the Russian leader's failing health.
Yeah yeah, we've had these for years now. Wake me up when Russia's new president signs a peace deal that isn't a full on annexation of Ukrainian territories with nothing in return. If that ever happens.
There's probably a bunch of also bad people waiting in line to take his place. But would still celebrate his death though.
Probably, but there's likely to be a lot of infighting about which one of them would take over.
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.
I want that day to be printed as big in global news as "HITLER DEAD!"
"Fallen at his command post," eh? Sounds like what they'd report if Trump choked to death on a hamberder while on the toilet.
can putin take trump with him
In Egypt, leaders were buried with their property…
Hopefully Trump and Putin’s bodies take care of the problems for the world sooner rather than later
The bigger issue is that Trump and Putin are just the most visible part of the problem.
If they both died tomorrow (oh god please), another would simply take their place. It would require a complete deprogramming of their supporters on the scale of Germany in 1945. The problem is that the entire government needs to fall for that to ever even be attempted. It would literally require a revolution or large scale invasion for that to happen at this point, and even then, as we've seen with Russia and Northern Africa quite a few times, revolutions have a tendency to just pave the way for the next lunatic to take power.
In USA, invasion isn't really possible, so it would have to be an incredibly violent and costly (in human lives) revolution, with a slim chance to actually change anything.
An invasion of Russia is probably possible, but it would require some insane inside help to make sure they don't just nuke everything when they realise they've lost anyway. A revolution probably wouldn't do much, because of the brainwashing problem.
Die, bitch, die. 🙏
🤞
Please someone send this to uplifting news.
I just hope Putin won't be replaced by someone as bad as him.
The entire "ecosystem" of Russian leadership is built around a strongman. If Putin dies, the next one win based on the criteria that made Putin the leader. So there are two options: a big fucking fight, or someone roughly as bad.
And if it's option 2, their level of shittyness depends mostly on how effective Putin was in defenestrating his rivals.
Fear of the "next guy" is the only reason la'orang is still alive. All of this is the fault of people gearing "what's next". The number of evil people on earth is finite. Even if the next one is worse, there's only one way forward. So just take the win. The number of evil is about to drop by one
Hooo! If this is true Russia's in for it. He's been very effective at eliminating any possible successors. Hopefully the nukes stay safe.
Did Zelenskyy say anything about which window Putin will be dropped off?
Oh, geez, we can only hope it's soon.
I always wondered about his health. I've seen state photos of him sitting at the end of a ridiculously long table. People interpreted it as a power move, but it could also be because his immune system is fucked. Not a doc, but I know there's quite a few treatments that end up suppressing the immune system.
Although given the amount of people he's ordered poisoned, I'd want to keep my distance from everyone who might hold a grudge too.
I hope whatever happens, the world can find some more stability, peace, and freedom soon. This decade will be spoken about for the next couple hundred years at least.
