Has anyone considered this scenario?

That if Putin feels backed into a corner and believes that he can never make Russia great again that he will detonate all of Russia's nukes in their silos and basically commit suicide. He's probably crazy enough to do it. As it is it will take Russia over a hundred years to recover from this.

The chances are Putin will be removed by his own people before too long. His Oligarch supporters have their wealth overseas and are immune.. But recent reports have Russia running out of money by the end of 2024.. And they dont have the luxury of just being able to print more and have other accepting it like America. So the economy will collapse internally. The people will act before that happens..So Putin will go, or be removed..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman i don't see the world rushing to send any aid to russia if and when he dies. What's to say that the replacement won't be worse? If they.collapse then it must be total.

@Tastyfrzz I quite agree. While the fish rots from the head down the rot is well established in the leadership of Russia. Putins people will be looking for "business as usual" in their replacement. If a civil war fails to break out, then the job isnt done.. I see an opportunity for China...😷

@Tastyfrzz As an economist I think more in terms of Money, rather than Territory..China doesnt physically control any of America (Embassies aside) But their money and economic influence directs much of Americas economy.. And Russia is close to broke and cut off.. China can make them an offer they cant refuse quite soon..😷
