      True. There is an outlandish misconception that if Putin is removed Russia will suddenly become a liberal democracy, while in reality the most probable successor is Dmitry Medvedev, who is twice the imperialist Putin is. Navalny was a brave soul (especially protesting Putin's immigration policies, which are just as insane as those of Western democracies) but he never had a chance to win the presidency.
      You'd think we should have learnt from Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya who didn't exactly became beacons of liberalism and democracy when the previous leadership was removed, but wishful thinking dies hard I guess.
      Russia certainly has its own kind of degeneracy but that doesn't mean Russians want Western degeneracy on top of that. And Russia is an innately imperialist country. It has to be defeated on the battlefield.

Protestants here, Methodists there, Buddhists over there, Hindus over there. Up the stairs they go and there's a big white curtain. He hears people praying and Charlie says, who's behind this curtain. God says, shhhhhh, they are Catholics, they think they are the only ones here! The western mindset is just like the Catholic's mindset( in that joke). Not all Catholics are like that for sure, there are many many funny and good Catholics.

      However we may hate him, Putin is smart. He has been considering all kinds of scenarios that might throw him out - much more thoroughly than anyone who may want him out. And he has prevented most of those potential scenarios - political competition, popular uprising, dissent of oligarchs and "elites", large military mutiny (what made Prigozhin suddenly change his mind?), even external intervention (countries that in principle could get rid of this regime are actually scared of this possibility - the US especially).

      In hindsight we should admit to ourselves that, selling all the nation's assets to private companies and then renting them back was always going to be unaffordable. It's easy to say now, but it turned out to be a disaster. Thatcher was wrong. We have to be able to say that if we're going to learn from her mistakes.

    For two years this channel posts these kind of clickbaity videos now. Don´t get me wrong, i'd love to see Putin go down as soon as possible, but how often can you make the same video with some "expert" predicting this....and then nothing happens again and again. How about talking about the here and now and not some hypothetical scenario?
