  • Just wondering at the chances that this might be the beginning of the end for Putin? Surely he's overestimating his own soldier's willingness to fight in Ukraine? They may have done a decent job in Syria thinking they were saving the world from ISIS. (Although they bombed plenty of innocent civilians too). But I doubt very many of them will buy his claim that the Kyiv leadership is a 'junta', so I just can't see them fighting with the same gusto as they did in Syria.
    The argument against this being the end for Putin's leadership is that nobody seems to think there is anyone else out there that Russia could rally around as their next leader.
