What if Putin Died Today?
So today it will not be all about crypto or music..... so I am stepping out of my comfort zone-----SCARY!
The thing is, I was doing some research on the health of Mr. Putin, and as collateral damage who would be the most logical person to replace him in case he dies...
Just hoping to find a shortcut to a peaceful solution-
The fact that I am looking into this might not be so surprising as many people wish him dead atm. And Karma is a bitch that is always catching up with you and so is Death.
On top of that, it feels like millions of people are sending bad vibes to this totalitarian. This in itself is not so strange and some people probably believe that it will impact his health negatively.....
This whole research thin was inspired by the photo that @cryptorah shared and several comments on other articles regarding the fact that Putin would die soon or be assassinated.
Now as per the article below that health status has been not so great for many years if we can believe some of the sources in this article...
Watch the videos if you don't like to read.
Now it ends with these words:
Otherwise, Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu is most likely to take the helm, isolating Putin and monopolizing all power in the country based on his own presidential ambitions.
Who´s Next?
The article is from September 2021, but that is not making it any less valid especially considering that it´s this Sergey Shoygu that oversaw the military drills in western Belarus prior to the invasion of Ukraine, as Reuters reported.
And not to sound to cliche, but if a leader falls away by assassination or disease in totalitarian regimes it´s more often than not the leader of the military who will step up and take the empty spot at the top.
Who´s Shoigu?
Shoigu replaced Anatoly Serdyukov who wasn´t that liked as a defense minister by higher ranks of the Russian military as he did not respect their traditional way of doing things. Shoigu did respect those so-called traditions and showed great organizational ability. An ability that he clearly lost based on the chaotics and bad logistics shown during the first weeks of the invasion.
Now Shoigu is one of the few people in the current Russian government who´s been in a senior position since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The only other name at the top is.....yup you guessed right Vlad.
Vladimir Putin probably put Shoigu in the most dangerous position with regards to people who can easily replace him by coup or other means because of the Defense Minister being ethnically Tuvan. This gives him little to no chance of ever being accepted as a possible Russian president.
So if not the Defense Minister, who else is there to take his place?
Who´s Nikolai Patrushev?
Well, this is where stuff gets really worrying, but the real second man in Russia is Nikolai Patrushev current secretary of Russia’s Security Council.
What the Fluf is that council doing?
It´s a constitutional body of the Russian president that works out the president's decisions on national security affairs and matters of strategic interests according to Wikipedia.
Now officially Dmitry Medvedev is the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council which is one step up from being the secretary if my intel is correct, but this guy was the puppet president from 2008-2012 when Putin could no another term as president. During that time most decisions were made by Putin.....but in coordination with Patrushev.
Looking back it sure seems like Patrushev’s influence on Putin has become much stronger. Where in the past (mid 2000s) Putin had some type of a liberal worldview. This guy always called for n anti-liberal, “multipolar” world based on “traditional values”. Forgive me for getting The Handmaid's tale flashbacks reading that. And in this "multipolar” world in which Russia’s influence would need to expand dramatically. Which is something we have seen happening with all the land-grabbing that has been going on ever since.
In a 2015 interview, Patrushev claimed that “the formation of a multipolar world” was the only way to restrain what he perceived as the liberal hegemony of the West. He proudly stressed that Russia was the main antagonist to the Western liberal world order and warned that Russia would leave nothing off the table when pushing for its geopolitical interests abroad.
But it even gets more fun when Patrushev mentioned that: Renewable energy, which Western nations view as fundamental to sustainable and climate-friendly economic and environmental policies in the decades to come. Patrushev claimed that these sources are “not fully safe for the environment and, in some cases, have a negative impact on nature itself.” The healthiest choice for the world, Patrushev asserts, is to keep buying Russian oil and gas.
Bottom Line
Well, it is this guy that is most likely to replace Putin when he falls.....
Now Putin might not be himself anymore, and the medication he´s been getting might be blurring his vision....he even might still suffering from PTSS since his KGB adventures. But the alternative seems to be even worse, as it seems that this Patrushev is talking Soviet rhetoric without drugs or traumas.
This guy would love to raise the Iron Curtain once more and create a lovely Col War atmosphere....so if you thought these Soviet Dinosaurs died when the Berlin wall fell on top of them, you were wrong. Under Putin, the Soviet empire is working on coming back.
So the whole idea I was having about how it would be a blessing for the world if Putin indeed was sick or got assassinated was just a fantasy....
His death, probably, will not solve anything and only make it worse. So I guess there are no shortcuts to peace or at least not this one.
