Putin Notes

How Putin got suckered into completing Hitler's genocide of the Slavs will be one of the nastier unwritten histories because no one dares point it out. All those dead Russians and Ukrainians will mean cheap oil and cheaper grain for certain countries, guess which ones?

All those Russian conscripts are a big economic minus and so far are being sent off to die with no training and bad equipment. They will be slaughtered. Tragic, but that's war.

The idea that Putin actually trusts anyone is laughable. The idea that Putin's entourage are all on the same page as he is also risible. Sure, Rus wants to dominate rule and control Ukraine. But anyone with eyeballs can see Putin botched it, and he will pay for it with his life.

Putin's system is corruption AS governance. EVERYONE is kept at least a bit illegal, after all, we are all Russians ) no need to be too strict ... and then Anytime the government (Putin) needs to crackdown, voila, anti-corruption tax audit time to enforce those laxly enforced regulations!

Purges and counter-purges doom the Putin regime. Just a question of when, not if, his own people will depose him, probably at the cost of his life.
