    These people have very likely learned from Putin how to use poison effectively to make it look as if the victim died of natural causes.

    I am doubtful about that because as ex-KGB he will be prepared for that. I would bet he has a private chef or some other safeguards against that kind of threat already in play.

    i just finished an article about McD pulling out of Russia. How many more families are going to lose loved ones, jobs, opportunities, etc.? Whether he's terminally ill, having a psychotic break or just doesn't play well with others, he's put himself into a ticking bomb pressure cooker.

    And, as with all stupid fighting, the ones to suffer the most are the civilians. Three hundred restaurants and 60,000 employees.

    Maybe. But remember how KJU's brother died? It wasn't anything he ate.

    He was killed with some kind of nerve agent while at an airport. Putin and his lover moved to a bunker before the invasion began. He is much more insulated and wealthier than KJU's family members (IIRC, he had his uncle killed too).I just get the impression Putin is too secretive and probably paranoid not to have safeguards in place for that kind of thing. The best conduit would be for something to happen while he's in surgery they can write off as "complications" but that would still take an insider betraying him.

    I'm curious to know how their line of succession works. We could be crossing our fingers for a regime change and end up with a bigger monster.

    I don't think there is a line of succession. Power was alternated for a while between Putin and his puppet Medvedev for a while as one was alternately President and the other Prime Minister. But if Putin dies, I don't think Medvedev has the strength to carry Putin's legacy of fascism.
