(#4998) Is the end of putin within days?

      The situation with putin and his disarrayed invasion of Ukraine has left no doubt that the Russian hierarchy is not happy. More than 62 thousand dead Russian soldiers, crippling sanctions, and the tremendous loss of armaments has them on edge. Now internal strife between the military and the political leaders is beginning to simmer to the top. With the explosion on the Russia to Crimea bridge and a previous attempt on putins life, the situation with putin is obviously in flux. The unsettled nature of a power struggle within Russia is brewing.
     There is no hope now of Russia winning any territory in Ukraine and claiming any kind of victory so what will the end game be? How will this failed invasion of Ukraine be recorded when the final accounting is done? For me the end of putin is a logical consequence of his own deeds. He chose to attack Ukraine and steal their treasures. He chose to murder Ukrainians through warfare and commit war crimes. He exemplified the worst of what humanity can do when there is no respect for life nor liberty. He is the nefarious example of authoritarianism in real life. So his failure will deliver to him the dirty deeds he delivered to others.
     If Russia is to survive as a nation it will have to end the putin reign quickly. Otherwise putin will go into his death throes lashing out in any number of really harmful ways. He doesn't care about life except his own. If he is to be vanquished then he will take as many as he can with him. Which is why he must be stopped before he can entertain his worst thoughts on our heads. I expect those in Russia to do what needs to be done. They have the most to lose if not and the most to gain if so. The end of putin is becoming the only option so how quickly his end comes will dictate the future for everyone else.
