    rumors about the Russian leader’s failing health.

    Yeah yeah, we’ve had these for years now. Wake me up when Russia’s new president signs a peace deal that isn’t a full on annexation of Ukrainian territories with nothing in return. If that ever happens.

    Hopefully Trump and Putin’s bodies take care of the problems for the world sooner rather than later

      The bigger issue is that Trump and Putin are just the most visible part of the problem.

      If they both died tomorrow (oh god please), another would simply take their place. It would require a complete deprogramming of their supporters on the scale of Germany in 1945. The problem is that the entire government needs to fall for that to ever even be attempted. It would literally require a revolution or large scale invasion for that to happen at this point, and even then, as we’ve seen with Russia and Northern Africa quite a few times, revolutions have a tendency to just pave the way for the next lunatic to take power.

      In USA, invasion isn’t really possible, so it would have to be an incredibly violent and costly (in human lives) revolution, with a slim chance to actually change anything.

      An invasion of Russia is probably possible, but it would require some insane inside help to make sure they don’t just nuke everything when they realise they’ve lost anyway. A revolution probably wouldn’t do much, because of the brainwashing problem.

        Either or both of them dying couldn’t hurt.

        Soviet Russian succession always takes a power struggle between rivals before things are consolidated.

        Vance has the charisma of a turnip.

        I can’t speak for Putin, but MAGA is a cult of personality. Once HitlerPig assumes room temperature, there will be a vicious battle for leadership, and at least half of the MAGA Morons will drop out without their divine leader to follow. Its very likely they will pivot to making him a religious figure.

        The traditional GOP will try to recapture their hegemony over the party, and the Sociopathic Oligarchs will wage a war to keep and expand their influence. They will all try to float a new leader, and we can expect HitlerPig Jr to make a big attempt, but he’ll be recieved the same way as Frank Sinatra Jr - with a yawn. Anyone else will be accepted even less.

        I hope the battle for control of the party will result in internecine violence, so the Dems can regain power, and use the crimes and violence of the MAGAs to crush them, and purge them from government and society.

        I think if that happened, the push against other nations would at least get a reprieve as infighting takes over, especially if Putin bites it.

        There are a lot of people who want to be king and they’ll all likely have plots to take out their rivals and consolidate power

      Any micro organism inside of them has my support.

      By the time you’re 70/80 years old your thymus has basically just turned into fat cells and can no longer create new T-cells for your immune system. We just need the right microbe to enter.

    Hooo! If this is true Russia’s in for it. He’s been very effective at eliminating any possible successors. Hopefully the nukes stay safe.

      And I hope Putin outlives the Russian Federation.

      …and dies as soon as possible, anyway. Preferably before April.

    Please stop, I can only get so happy…

    Between now and that party day there is still a lot of time for Putin to fuck things over. Be ready.

    Also, when Putin dies, who will take over? I can guarantee you that Russia won’t be a human loving democracy after he’s gone, it’ll just be the next dictator who takes over. Putin will make sure his legacy is perfect (because for guys like him, it’s all about bullshit like dynasty and legacy) and then place the next Putin but probably worse.

    Also, please take trump and the US government with you?

      He won’t plant anyone as long as his legacy isn’t flawless. It will never be.

      For now, anyone who could became the next vladelets (🤮) is seen as a threat by Putin, and handled accordingly.

      But… Putin was planted by KGB, and KGB/FSB does have a plan for whom to plant.

        This will be a clash between organizations, not between people per se. KGB/FSB will fight other branches of the Russia’s junta for whose candidate will get the job.

    If CK2 taught me one thing, it’s that claim wars automatically end when the claimant dies. As soon as putin keels over all the red flagged armies in Ukraine will go neutral and have to walk back home.
