If this is the case, then at what point a coup/ground movement throws Putin away. A dictator can only stay as long in the power until he can keep people around him happy, even financially. There are young conscripts dying in a war in a state where many have brotherly relations with. At what point it is not just easy to turn those weapons on Putin.
- okl 5y agoAt this point, but this is my personal impression since I obviously don't have any data on the matter, I guess that there are enough zombies in Russia to keep this war going until their soldiers literally starve to death.
- ploika 5y agoA lot of Russians remember when their country collapsed in front of their eyes. It's probably fair to say that even Putin's harshest critics would be hesitant to go through that twice in 30 years. Not that I'm defending him by any means, just that (by design) getting rid of him will be very ugly and never easy.
