    After Stalin it took more than 50 years for anyone to achieve the kind of power that he had. Once Valodja is gone (can’t be soon enough), the situation will be similar. The satraps will fight among themselves and maybe, just maybe there will be some meaningful opposition again.

      Russia will collapse immediately. Their military is a joke. The only tactics they have are meat swarms and those are severely depleted.

      China will seize huge swaths of land, Chechnya will break off, it’s going to be insane how fast it will implode

      It’s also important to note that Putin intentionally keeps all other leaders in Russia as weak as possible to maintain his iron grip. Unless he has a very good succession plan, things could become quite a clusterfuck before the dust settles.
