I want that day to be printed as big in global news as "HITLER DEAD!"

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

"Fallen at his command post," eh? Sounds like what they'd report if Trump choked to death on a hamberder while on the toilet.

Hopefully Trump and Putin’s bodies take care of the problems for the world sooner rather than later

[–] MBech 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The bigger issue is that Trump and Putin are just the most visible part of the problem.

If they both died tomorrow (oh god please), another would simply take their place. It would require a complete deprogramming of their supporters on the scale of Germany in 1945. The problem is that the entire government needs to fall for that to ever even be attempted. It would literally require a revolution or large scale invasion for that to happen at this point, and even then, as we've seen with Russia and Northern Africa quite a few times, revolutions have a tendency to just pave the way for the next lunatic to take power.

In USA, invasion isn't really possible, so it would have to be an incredibly violent and costly (in human lives) revolution, with a slim chance to actually change anything.

An invasion of Russia is probably possible, but it would require some insane inside help to make sure they don't just nuke everything when they realise they've lost anyway. A revolution probably wouldn't do much, because of the brainwashing problem.

Either or both of them dying couldn't hurt.

~~Soviet~~ Russian succession always takes a power struggle between rivals before things are consolidated.

Vance has the charisma of a turnip.

I just hope Putin won't be replaced by someone as bad as him.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The entire "ecosystem" of Russian leadership is built around a strongman. If Putin dies, the next one win based on the criteria that made Putin the leader. So there are two options: a big fucking fight, or someone roughly as bad.

And if it's option 2, their level of shittyness depends mostly on how effective Putin was in defenestrating his rivals.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

One thing about regimes like Putin's and Trump's is that they actively select against clever and competent people. Because clever and competent people are a threat to Dear Leader's power.

Fear of the "next guy" is the only reason la'orang is still alive. All of this is the fault of people gearing "what's next". The number of evil people on earth is finite. Even if the next one is worse, there's only one way forward. So just take the win. The number of evil is about to drop by one

Did Zelenskyy say anything about which window Putin will be dropped off?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 week ago

Hooo! If this is true Russia's in for it. He's been very effective at eliminating any possible successors. Hopefully the nukes stay safe.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Oh, geez, we can only hope it's soon.

I always wondered about his health. I've seen state photos of him sitting at the end of a ridiculously long table. People interpreted it as a power move, but it could also be because his immune system is fucked. Not a doc, but I know there's quite a few treatments that end up suppressing the immune system.

Although given the amount of people he's ordered poisoned, I'd want to keep my distance from everyone who might hold a grudge too.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Putin being at the end of the table is probably because he's terrified of being assassinated, but the photos of him at the last Victory Day Parade look terrible. Out of makeup, he looks look a walking corpse.

I hope whatever happens, the world can find some more stability, peace, and freedom soon. This decade will be spoken about for the next couple hundred years at least.

Please stop, I can only get so happy...

Between now and that party day there is still a lot of time for Putin to fuck things over. Be ready.

Also, when Putin dies, who will take over? I can guarantee you that Russia won't be a human loving democracy after he's gone, it'll just be the next dictator who takes over. Putin will make sure his legacy is perfect (because for guys like him, it's all about bullshit like dynasty and legacy) and then place the next Putin but probably worse.

Also, please take trump and the US government with you?

If Putin dies, a successor might (secretly) align with Ukraine. Something like "If you attack XX, I will remove my troops from ZZ, if you don't attack me. I will be focusing on a bread & butter campaign if I run Russia. Take care of my rivals in the meantime, mm'kay?"

Mind, I would prefer Russia outright being conquered and Marshall Planned into something completely different, but I would accept the other scenario if the outcome could be decent. In this case, Ukraine gets back Crimea and all other territories, plus security guarantees.

I'm sure the next soulless monster is lined up to take control of the cesspool.
