There's no evidence at all that the Putin regmine is even slightly moved by casualty numbers. Indeed - their losses may well be part of the plan - an expected and accepted trade-off. It's not stated enough how internal ethnic cleansing of trading useless mouths for prime ukrainain lands and population is a perfectly logical conclusion. If you're a completely depraved petromafia gangster ghoul...numbers mean nothing unless you're talking about money and sq. km of stolen land. The numbers shock some people, but pretending the Kremlin cares is like throwing ice cubes at the sun.

Understood, thanks. And hopefully there is someone internal who wants to succeed him while there's still a functional nation state to rule over.

I don't really buy the "but - but - then someone WORSE will come along!".

Worse than the genocide, corrosive fuckery and populist poison that's going on now? A shrill, thrashing mafia butcher who enables death and mayhem across the world, poisons the planet in every way possible and threatens nuclear armageddon like it's a bodily function, and you're not willing to see what 'new leadership' might look like?

These people, from The Great Goblin himself on down, are pure evil. Best case - he dies, unnaturally and soon - and Russia collapses into fueding ethno corporate fiefdoms too individually weak to maintain a nuclear arsenal, who spend their time fighting each other instead of shitting hot cancerous diarrhea in every direction.

Guys, I really enjoyed your conversation. Deep, insightful and respectful. Given a chance, I'll buy you a beer.
