I’m hoping his people pull the plug. I’m actually surprised they haven’t done it yet.

The average Russian doesn’t want nuclear war anymore than anyone else.

Historically the Russians have showed constraint with nuclear weapons. I hope that continues.

Agreed, the people of Russia deserve better.

I am surprised Putin is still in power.

The coup in the 90’s was very telling about the average Russian. When they didn’t agree. They didn’t do it.

I don’t think the average Russian agrees with invading Ukraine. Yet, he’s still sitting in power.

The rumor is he has cancer but recently he’s looked pretty healthy. I was hoping the rumor would ge true and this would sort itself out.

His successor will still be some flavor of authoritarian. My hope is that within the 3rd administration after putin the world will see Russians leading democracy.

That is to say, I'd like to see truly free and fair elections, rights of the people restored, ethnic Russian culture accepted and embraced, progressive social values supported, and freedom of the press protected.

This is the Russia I hope for.
