What Happens to Putin Now?

If Putin is ousted, we could well end up with someone worse. You could also get disorder or civil war and the crack-up of Russia into warlord Uligarch-fiefs. When a big stay cracks apart, it's very hard to put it back together. The nuclear weapons and criminality that could spill out of a disintegrated Russia would change the world. This is not a defense of Putin. It's an expression of rage at what he did to his country,. making it into a ticking time bomb spread across 11 time zones. If he wins, the Russian people lose; if he loses and his successor is disorder, the whole world loses.
