              • I found this YouTube summary of the war to date, and how it has devastated Russia, interesting, if perhaps a bit too positive from the Ukrainian perspective.

                  If Harris had won; and the EU was able to stay relatively supportive, I think Putin's days would be numbered

                    I’ve wondered about that, too.

                      I like that stuff because it confirms my biases, but it seems so much of it just isn't based in reality. Yeah, Russia is paying a heavy price, but Ukraine is too and they have fewer resources.

                        • Case in point: I seriously doubt that cat thing happened in Ukraine. Still funny.

                            I don't think so. He won't leave power unless the Russians turn on him. Europe's too feckless to solve its own problems, always has been. I wouldn't be shocked if Putin doesn't do another defenestration purge soon. Medvedev is his lapdog, but time will tell if he'll live long enough to succeed Putin.

                              Didn't Medvedev already "succeed" Putin?

                                Yeah, kinda. Russia has since amended their constitution allowing him to serve forever. It used to be that they could serve 2 turns and couldn't serve the next one, but were eligible for the election after that.

                                Medvedev is a Putin puppet but Russia was a bit more moderate under him. Now Putin no longer has to take timeouts


                                He used to be more moderate but not anymore. He has made 100s of millions of dollars since the invasion of Ukraine
