    Putin is going down as the guy who could have un-fucked Russia and chose not to. Idiot just killed his best potential successor. The collapse is baked in and the consequences won’t really hit Moscow for another 30 years or so, just long enough for another generation of Russians to grow up and get sent to die in another imperial Russian fever dream.

      At least he follows the tradition of Russian rulers who seem hellbent to make things worse instead of better. He only one I can think of who at least tried to make things better was Gorbatschow, but thanks to the propaganda of his successors he is hated in Russia.
