  1. I stand by my assessment that Vladimir Putin is ONLY holding on to power because the Oligarchs are allowing him to. Since 1999, there has been a Billionaire class in Russia. They were allowed to have foreign investments and travel the world unimpeded in their private jets. They achieved something their parents and grandparents could NEVER dream or believe was possible. They lived the lifestyle of Billionaires for 20 Years! At the start of this war in Ukraine, Putin guaranteed the ruling Oligarchs that this war was only going to last THREE DAYS! We are now close to the third anniversary of the start of the war! Since the start of the Ukraine war, these Oligarchs have seen their foreign investments and properties seized and sold off. Several of these Oligarchs have been personally sanctioned by the United States, the U.K., and the European Union. Which means that they cannot leave Russia. These Oligarchs want their Billionaire lifestyles back. They are looking for any excuse to remove Putin from power. this might be it. They are the reason why Russia has not used Nuclear weapons. They believe that there is still a chance that things can go back to the way they were before the Ukraine invasion.
