Yeeaaaahhh, about that
What so you think will happen when Putin dies? You don’t believe the answer to be “democracy, freedom and happiness”, right? There will be a power vacuum, there will be infighting, who knows, maybe even a small civil war to figure out who’s next, but whoever it will be, it will be bad and possibly worse than Putin. At least Putin wasn’t suicidal, I’ve seen possible candidates who will happily nuke the US and Russia into oblivion just for shits 'n giggles, shall we say.
What do you think will happen when cheeto explodes in a fat explosion? I guarantee you that Musk will try shit, his son’s will try shit, possibly, hopefully killing eachother in the process, a bunch of other retards like hegseth or that blonde-whats-her-name idiot from Kansas, I believe… Vance obviously will try to usurp power, and they’ll all final because they’re just really really db people, but I guarantee you this: no one will actually be working on US democracy.
So those two dead will make the world a little better because two shit stains will have been removed from the gene pool but the world in general might dive into a shitshow
If there is balkanization, good. If there is civil war, good. They wanna kill, let them kill eachother instead of others. Russians finally pull their heads out of their asses and become a true democracy and join eu? The best possible outcome.
Nah you’re seeing this a little pessimistic. It’s clear to anyone that there will be political in fighting in such a case, but claiming and retaining power is not easy, especially under the conditions that Russia is in right now. Different interests will need to compete for political power, and the resulting government will surely not align with the West’s vision of democratic rule. However, these are the moments of opportunity for the people. Nobody in the country comes even close to Putins cult status. Anything can happen.
Wouldn’t it be funny if make that 180° towards democracy like the US did towards fascism? :)
We’re in bizaro world. So wouldnt suprise me a bit if russia becomes the pinnacle of democracy and leader of the free world after the US falls apart from the seams.
Have you seen anything of Russian history? If I had to summarize all of Russian history in one word, pessimistic would be it
I don’t think there would be much of a power vacuum at all. Putin is hardly the head of the organizing that is all in the Kremlin. He’s more puppet than leader. His death is probably already accounted for.
