      Okay cool. I don’t think Putin would be that obvious since his future bargaining with challengers kind of depends on it. He just sent a message that he can’t be reasoned or bargained with.

        He hasn’t bothered with bargaining with his challengers BEFORE, either. I mean, he tried to assassinate his biggest public political rival Alexei Navalny, then when everyone got angry at him for trying to do that in pretty blatant fashion, just threw him in prison and will likely keep him there on whatever charges they think they can make sound reasonable for as long as possible.
