I think it was a gaffe, and I actually don’t agree everyone thinks it.


I think all non-Putinists want it, but I think many informed observers of Russia think his downfall in the near term is highly unlikely.

Which may make Russia a pariah state for a long time. But it’s also possible that the world would be willing to deal with Putin again if he materially de-escalates, as impossible as that is to imagine now.

Although it should now be western policy, especially European policy, to ensure they never again rely on this dysfunctional society to the point where it can exercise such leverage over them. Regardless of Putin’s ultimate fate.
