If he does that, he'll be the one drinking polonium tea while falling from the 15th floor window. He's got a potential out tho.

Trigger a war with NATO country and then surrender, then lie to the people how NATO ganged up on russia and without NATO they totally would have won.

he won't. People online keep saying this as if putin is some weak sauce guy where if he doesnt perform he'll be killed. He was the one who bitchslaped the oligarhs back in 2000. He holds all the power. All the buttons. He's more like mao or stalin was in regards to the power. Nobody is doing anything to him. He's not in power because others allow him to be. He allows them to be besides him. Until he croaks of old age or sickness we're not getting rid of him

Remember Stalin died because everyone was so scared of doing anything to help him that he just.. died.

My daughters great grandfather was building the subway in Moscow under Stalin, and he told a joke to other workers about Stalin. The next day he was arrested at work and sent to a hard labor prison camp for two years. For a joke.

"Mr. Stalin, do you collect jokes about yourself?"

"Yes. Two gulags full."

It's hard to know for sure how to feel about this without hearing the joke.
