You said considerably more in that post than "his oligarch buddies may decide they’ve had enough.” The whole scenario you posted is the “long shot.”
Long shot? Its all happening right now.
Russian inflation is double digits
The Russian wealth fund is being depleted
Russia is running out of foreign reserves
Interest rates in Russia are 21%
Russia stocks of soviet era weapon systems is dwindling
The Ruble has collapsed and trading in it has been stopped.
which one of those things thats happening right now is a long shot?
Russians are used to bad times … they actually take pride in their perseverance. They aren’t going to depose of Putin over bad times caused by the war, but they might if he just quits and they feel it was all for naught.

what a stupid statement.
Yeah, I agree. Being proud of one’s ability to endure suffering is stupid from our perspective.
it’s stupid because those oligarchs aren’t about to “endure suffering”. They live like kings, and Putin is costing them a lot of $$$. If the Russian economy continues to deteriorate, they will remove Putin.
I can tell you one thing this war is over when Trumps in office!

Well, duh. The ones causing the suffering don’t endure it. I thought that was obvious.
