  10. the major problem that the RF now has is that since the hostile takeover of Crimea generically (2014) and the invasion of Ukraine specifically (2022), institutional power has been and is being traded for individual power. and that the weakening of Kremlin power is now an exponentionally zero sum benefit to the expansion of personal power for the Russian President. add to that, the longer Vladimir Vladimirovich is in the presidency, the deeper his authoritarian grip becomes, the stronger his iron fist becomes, the more angry his velvet glove becomes, and the more brutal, brittle and vicious his regime becomes. at the same time it is obvious that the opaqueness around him shall increase, the fantasies and speculation about him increase, the intrigue, the powerplays, the dismissals, the paranoia, the dramas and the tests increase. so the danger that the institutional destabilization chickens are coming home from their democratic forays to roost in the foxhouse also increases. and the increasingly exposed cunning of clever divide and conquer hubris still has to be faced. because he is trying to play everyone for fools - to the international community as if sovereignty doesn't exist, to the Russian nationalists as if there's no such thing as Ukraine, to the PRC like military operations are only ever 'special' and to his own court as if his new clothes of empire aren't old.
