[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see this eventually ending with Putin being assassinated by someone in his circle. He's backed into a corner. He can't back down without losing face and looking weak, which is literally incomprehensible to him, but he can't achieve anything more than a Pyrrhic victory, either. Russia can turn Ukraine into rubble with bombs but they don't have the will or the manpower to actually subjugate the country. They underestimated the resistance and overestimated the competence of their ground forces. The sanctions are going to send the economy back to 1991.

At some point, the people around him are going to get sick of this one-way ticket to disaster and take him out. The question is how long it takes them to come to that conclusion, get up the nerve, and execute the plot.[/quote]

I was going to come post/ask about a similar theory. I just don’t see how any of this ends with Putin alive. He’s trying to undo world progress that can’t be undone. There’s no going back to the USSR power of the old days. [b]And he seems just old enough and crazy enough to not back down, it’s like he has nothing to lose.[/b] He’s hurting his own people in the process with sanctions and military fighting. At the end of the day he may just be willing to launch nukes, but there have to be people around him who are not suicidal and don’t want to see Russia destroyed with bombings in return. Is there any other way this ends, but with Putin dead somehow? [/quote]

TBH, this is a wealthy Boomer white guy phenomena. They can't handle that the world wants to move on and evolve; they want to burn it all down before they leave the earth. It's crazy. [/quote]
