I agree with Irish. I think Putin's time is coming close to ending. When the hostilities end and many more Russian mothers find out that their babies aren't coming home than they were led to believe, the seat Putin is sitting on will get searing hot. Right now, it is burning hot, but it will get hotter. He tried to rebuild the old USSR Empire and failed. That will be his legacy. I believe he now sits up at night trying to find a way out and save face and his life. I realize many of you won't agree with me, but the Western World owes the people of Ukraine a thank you for stopping Putin and his megalomania in his tracks.
Like others on here, I wonder who will be next? A moderate or an even more hardliner?
