If you gonna catch the time, might as well do the crime.
Removing Putin would end soooo many of the worlds problems.
I suspect he has plenty of equally evil replacements ready to take over.
Nah. A guy like him is doing every thing he can to prevent anyone from consolidating enough power to challenge him. Not to say there arent plenty of scum waiting in the wings, but you don't strongman by allowing your contemporaries to also hold the kind of power required to keep a kleptocracy together.
They're not talking about a challenger. He might well have a successor who's being trained by him in private.
You hear about kushner and Barron a lot in US being the next trump. It may be a similar situation there too.
But all of his cronies accepting that successor would be a different thing altogether. They might just further carve up Russia for themselves.
