    A regime like Putin’s is stable until it suddenly is not. Russia has a lot of dark times ahead of it.

      Russians honestly are mostly waiting for those times; chaos is frightening, but stable decline into a dystopia is even worse.

      Besides, keeping on with “stable” regime means losing many, many lives; possibly way more than a radical change can entail. But that depends on who and how comes to power.

        That would depend on your next president. Personally from an outsider view I hope it’s not trump again.

          Same. I worry about the complacency of voters though. People are unhappy with Biden, I think more on their perceptions of him rather than his record. Although his support of Israel is not helping.
