How long does Putin have left? Not sure how he makes it out of this now.
He might last a while because about 60% of the population is inert and 20%, liberal democrats, are threaten with legal harassment, disenfranchisement, exile, or worse.
His main threat comes from the bug-eyed ultra right who want to nuke Berlin and Washington.
But the end will be very ugly no matter what happens with the war.
There’s no succession system (that’s why he constitutionally extended his dictatorship), there are a multitude of rival power camps (KGB, military, private militias) and there are a lot of embittered people were crushed/destroyed by this regime (including some Chechens) and its high living beneficiaries that used to have property in South Beach, London and Tuscany. These gangsters basically stole the whole economy, monetized it and plunked it into western assets/banks, and have convinced the rubes to be canon fodder for their imperialist fantasy that serves as bread and circuses.
It’ll be a meltdown.
