  1. His replacement may well be worse because there is an ignorant tendency to blame "Putin" instead of the Russian system for producing him while destroying their own intelligentsia since before the 1917 Revolution. Russia can be contained but nukes mean it won't be permanently defeated. Simple people don't think, they just run on emotion. I remember when fools in the West looked at Putin as a supposed improvement and as usual he wasn't. Russia is an enemy SOCIETY whose tiny few exceptions prove the rule. It is not some Western society with a temporary enemy government. Most people cannot make that distinction because modern social conditioning considers the idea heresy. While Putin will be gone soon his stakeholders can easily install an ultranationalist like Girkin as replacement. Remember the founding mythos of Russia is its curated concept of WWII when Stalin (who is sorely missed by many Russians today) was their hero. Putin is not the problem and the damage he does Russia valuable in weakening this permanent ontological enemy of freedom and democracy. The former Warsaw Pact nations mostly joined NATO because they knew the score which remains in living memory, but many ignorant modern civilians more distant from the fight are easy to manipulate because most humans are ignorant and of low intelligence. That makes them demagogue bait.

  2. Russia has nukes and WILL respawn because Russian culture not Putin is the problem. Putin is a product of Russia itself, not some alien visitor. Remember when Westerners wanted to believe in Russia and Putin? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
