Pick whatever non-NATO source.
No matter who actually did it. Russia would blame Ukraine/NATO/USA/The West in general, together and separately in rotation.
After that I have no real idea, who would succeed. There would be a massive power struggle both in the government and military.
There is a strong possibility that several of the autonomous regions within the Russian federation would try to break away. There is about a 20% chance of a civil war because of this.
And about a 1% chance of nukes being used.
There would be a power vacuum, probably a few murders/suicides/defenstrations, and the elections scheduled for a few months from now will probably be postponed during the struggle for leadership of the country. My guess is the powers that eventually take over will agree to pull out of Ukraine, conduct a few show trials, and do whatever else they think they have to in order for the west to lift the sanctions and unlock the oligarch’s accounts.
It would please me greatly to know that Ukraine will outlive Putin.
An even worse Putin coming to power.
He likely has a dead man’s switch to release the trump hooker piss tapes
destabilization until the Kremlin finds a new president in that time probably multiple nations would be indipendent and Ukraine would pretty much launch their offensive and the union state collapses and tv stations all across Russia hijacked
Being a member of the KGB, he’d probably be replaced quick with someone who is just like him.
Didn’t know they already build the Cloning Vat.
Plastic surgery on a double for public appearances. Deepfakes for videos.
If they had instead focused on Kirov production the Ukraine war would have gone very differently.
It will end in 7 hours and everyone will have PTSD flashback for the rest of their lives when they heard the sound “pieeeew”
Was Dolly done in a vat? You can clone humans no problem. It’s just the age difference that’s the problem. And you don’t get to transfer the mind but we’ll have that figure out soon too.
He would be dead
Probably.
By most accounts, the next man up will be worse, and that’s really saying something.
theyd probably put one of the pop stars that are members of the party and are in sound enough mind to be able to string two sentences together in his place(unlike the guy himself considering the brainrot that are his speeches, but then again the italian pm went on stage to share the same kind of schizophrenic speech). and then everyone would jointly come out to endorse the selected champion and try their best to feint normalcy.
besides, great opportunity to tighten the bolts even more and declare a domestic hunt on traitors
Putin might never be allowed to die… (even if he already has).
Something like Futurama’s heads in a bowl?
Life imitates art. He died, they put his head in a jar and then just kept going.
That’d probably be true for a while, but after that they’d need to start an “election” where some military commander or other higher up will take his chair.
Fascists do not care about truth or facts, only authority, so whichever they deem more useful to them at the time they will make use of.
This isn’t about truth or facts. If something major happens in Russia or related to it and the president doesn’t show up to talk about it, that would raise eyebrows. Now imagine that happening over and over again. Putin dying would be the perfect opportunity for the US to start swaying Russia into a civil war. They definitely don’t want the president’s chair to be empty and contested for.
The most useful thing to them will always be to shove anyone atop that chair before the US notices.
He will be putin a coffin
They will be russian to put him in the ground.
Lenin on the shovel after stalin long enough to only dig half the hole.
