So a Lukoil oligarch just croaked from a toad toxin he took to cure a hangover? Say what?
Putin, who writes this stuff?

This is NOT Stalin’s 1930’s USSR. People have access to much faster cross communication and better access to the means of their personal defense.
When Vlad hits the “too far” point, folks who have avoided his murderous reach will take care of business. Both inside the military and ‘civilians’. Probably not a ‘mysterious’ illness, but more like hauling him out to a spot like where the czar’s family was massacred in 1917.
I’m guessing that his replacement may not be the vast improvement people are assuming. Be careful what you wish for.
Jeff,
The end game is Putin’s death. The Russians will sooner rather than later take their chances.
The threat is the US and Europe. Meaning a Russian peon dictator is under a huge threat. Make no mistakes and play on the right side of it as the leadership of Russia…to come…
We were issued a license when Putin entered the Ukraine. We sure as hell are going to exercise it.

True enough, to be sure.
But Vlad’s ‘replacement’ COULD be someone as pragmatic as a Mikhail Gorbachev, who presided over the USSR when the wheels came off the wagon.
My personal forecast was that when that event would come about, it would be at least as perilous as the Times of White Knuckles when JFK stared down Khrushchev over missiles in Cuba.
‘Gorby’ is distained by many world wide, especially folks from the old USSR, but he presided, and there was a peaceful dissolution. No shooting, no nukes, just “It is over, everyone. Go home.”.
Berlin wall? Time to take it down.
Could have been WORSE. A LOT WORSE.
Reagan paid tribute to him, at least once. (“A man I can deal with”.)
Vlad II might be the new Gorby. Regardless, it is unlikely that “Vlad II” will espouse that the breakup of the USSR was the “greatest catastrophe of the 20th century”.
