(1,062 posts)since he's bankrupted his cronies and is now tanking the Russian economy.
He must have a lot of security and a lot of people who are afraid to cross him.
Is that enough for him to survive?

(1,062 posts)... the cold blue steel of the gun's muzzle surprised him but almost instantly grew warm against the sweat fevered on temple flesh. He closed his eyes and addressed the General.
"You won't hesitate will you? I..."
He'd ordered his General to shoot him as he could not bring himself to end his own life.
"Coward to the end." General Kickshemioff dropped the gun and wiped the bits of splattered blood from his hand and turning smartly on his heel, he strode out of the bunker to his own fate.
THE END
We need a bit of patience ourselves.

All that wealth he has stolen from the Russian people. Too bad they don't seem too upset by it. Or enough have been brainwashed by his cult of personality.

(14,176 posts)Here on Earth before they die.
Funding a mega troll army interfering in multiple western nations.
Bribery of politicians in many countries to do his bidding.
Hiring of all kinds of nefarious characters to carry out missions for him in western nations.
Now he probably doesn't even have to use his own personal wealth for any of this. But just by having it, he wields so much authority and power to persuade and intimidate others in his circle to agree with him, and they all will make more Roubles.

(4,552 posts)But why not use the money to help humanity. There is no way puketin believes he is helping his country or humanity.
He is 69 years old. There is an end date. He will be a rich man in a box in the cold earth.

(4,694 posts)she and her children are in Kyiv with her husband. I had read that she was staying lat week.
Olena Zelenska, 44, has risked her life by going into hiding with her husband, their daughter, 17, and son, nine, choosing to stand with their countrymen rather than flee.
'I will not have panic and tears,' the mother-of-two wrote on Instagram in the hours after the first attacks last week. 'I will be calm and confident. My children are looking at me. I will be next to them. And next to my husband. And with you.'

This is not the world we should accept. We might as well all live under Putin's oppression. But before I would EVER be forced to do that, I'd reply, Putin, GO FUCK YOURSELF!

(10,207 posts)And tried to help other sex workers, I think Americans would have loved her. But she always lied about her sex work. She lied about fake degrees, she lied about speaking different languages.
She posed completely nude having sex with other women. She did the rich men sex parties to make money. She was looking for a sugar daddy.
But hay, life in Slovania was hard. She did what she had to do. But pretending she was some fashion model, some kind of intellectual, some kind of grifting business woman. She comes off so FAKE, cruel and uncaring. As if catching a disgusting orange sugar daddy like TFG was an accomplishment in itself.
What are you so ashamed of Melanija Knavs?
I bet there are a lot of skeletons in her closet that have been hidden with Trump's and Putin's money.
