U got me thinking more. Russia has no succession plan, and never has in its history, so any challenge to Putin’s power is destabilizing. Putin’s fear was a developing democracy in Ukraine. That’s to close. Winning the war and maintaining a democratic Ukraine, most likely means Belarusians and Russian people will yearn for the same. That could take decades, or maybe days. The Russian people won’t start an uprising when they have no idea what is really going on. If Prigozin’s dose of reality lands and people begin to protest in the streets, Putin will respond with a crackdown. How the people respond will inform us how long he can last.
