We'll see. In the last 50 years alone I've seen loads of countries who thought things would be better once their current "evil" leader was gone, only to find that the leader who replaced them in the coup ended up being just as "evil". As I've said twice in the thread already, this isnt a charging white knight coming to the rescue, its just another bad guy. Only the decades will show bad in which way and how severe.of course it is, Putin has slaughtered thousands of civilian's men women and children, you don't get much more evil than that. Hopefully they find him, they will certainly be looking for him.
As well as that the tide has turned, there will be so much infighting now they will almost certainly take their eye off the ball in Ukraine
Its not going to end the war overnight but it might just make Russian troops think twice and start to worry whether they will get supplies now or not.
It's definitely Christmas come early for Ukraine.
Hey they could even start pounding the Kremlin and blame it on the Wagnerites.
So yes getting Putin out the way is definitely a good thing, hopefully perminetely.
Wagner isn't going to last long, now, and neither is he.If he turns around it’s the stupidest move in history.
But why, tho? It makes them all look like utter idiots.This appears to support my view that the entire thing was performative.

Nobody comes out of this with their reputation enhanced.
It was not performative and anyone who thinks it was is deluded.
This was no more a LARP than the Jan 6th insurrection. Putin may be a frootloop but he is not an idiot and he would not do sometging like this as it gives him all negatives and no positives.
- Russian servicmen died in those aircraft that were shot down.
- it gave UAF a window of opportunity to gain the initiative (no matter how brief) in a protracted war.
- It showed Putin to be weak and has painted him into a corner
- It has created serious division among the Russian armed forces.

Will it be a 20th floor window, an upset stomach, or a terrible accident at a firing range?
I don't get it?! This is the most mental situation. So now they just go back to fighting in Ukraine? Complete madness
