Poland`s aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 10 [703]
Will the next guy be better or worse?
From my experience (during the breakdown of the Eastern Bloc) Autocrats generally only let bootlicker and yes-men/women come up alongside and beside them, every possible rival (may it be through brains or just having the dare of another opinion) flies out of a window sooner or later.
BUT that possible #2 also is more often than not a total weak character, has to be to come that far up and not be regarded as a rival by the main man himself. And that everybody and his grandmom knows...
So....after the demise of said leader it will need a time till the pit of animals sniffing their chance of the top spot have done away with the former #2 and sorted themselves out.
Maybe the secret services have a list with possible names, I sadly have not! Maybe this new leader wants to change things big time....who knows.
Peace and a negotiation are inevitable.
But not with Putin! I guess that's the red line right now....he is just unbelievable! Would you put your security in the hands of a guy where you KNOW his signature under any treaty isn't worth the ink? That he sees any outcome just as our gift of time for him to plan his next moves? It's useless!
public sentiment has long sense begun to turn
Now that is another matter altogether! If the Ukrainians themselves decide to go for peace, even if that means losing land and people, then that is their right and they should go for it!
But till now I haven't heard any of that....
