What Comes After Putin’s Rule in Russia. The West Should Beware: It Has a Russia problem, not a Putin’s Problem

1. “News of a recent alleged assassination attempt on Russia’s leader, Vladimir Putin, raises the question: what kind of Russia might emerge after him? It is tempting to believe that, if Putin were killed, or otherwise removed from power, for example in a palace coup, Russia would shake off its dictatorial shackles, normalize its relations with the West, and advance down the democratic road. Such thinking is mistaken. History suggests there are slim prospects of Russia doing so”.

   “The U.S. needs a new grand strategy of containment for Russia. That strategy should be based on an uncomfortable truth: the West has a Russia problem, not a Putin problem”.

   EU needs this vision too, obvliously.

2. The current Russian ‘opposition’ opposes Putin, not the war or authoritarian politics in general. They just want to be the ones in charge.

3. Hopefully another Yeltsin that destroys the country and makes it an economic yardsale for the west.
