Whereas of course he was their favourite person before the war.
They didn’t mind him at least and let him run the country the way he wanted. He needs support from Russians to continue existing as their leader.
He’s a dictator. They can’t exactly deselect him.
Yeah sure, but he’s not immortal or untouchable. Dictators can and has been removed from power previously.
The smart one sure the dumb ones try and hang on to power longer than it’s possible and then end up having to be killed in order to get rid of them.
I have a feeling that Putin is too much of a control freak whoever just surrender power on his own. Nothing short of a military coup will deseat him
