True. Because with the rate of Russian advance, it will take them decades to even fully occupy the oblasts they want to occupy. By then, Putin will be dead and that is only when Russia fully ceases attacking.
Realistically, no one worth their salt could replace Putin and expect that person to hold Russia together. Putin made sure no one could upstage him.
The best case scenario for Russia post-Putin is to have a Maduro-type leader. Someone competent enough to hold on to power and enrich his cronies boyars, although could never have the charisma to gain enough popular support and cult following of his predecessor. Thus, the next leader is in a precarious hold on the power like Maduro.
Only Russian trolls believe… the entire Russian war machine is dictated by the whims of a single man? There’s no military leadership or political class in Russia that wants to continue fighting in Ukraine?
Tell that to the Russian oligarchs who weren’t told that their tsar want to go to war and are now suffering from sanctions. They are pissed thay their assets got frozen!
That is expected to speedup though as headcount difference keeps getting skewed even more. At some point there just simply won’t be enough people to hold the line.

Jesus. Talk about brainwashed.

So you’re betting the war will end when European banks promise to give Russian oligarchs their Euros back?
Christ. Okay, well, this has been illuminating.
Money speaks. You of all people should know that.
Weirdly antisemitic, but ok.

Idk what makes you think his successor will be any different
His successor will be more incompetent.
Don’t get your hopes up
It is inevitable.
