Yeah this is one of those conflicts where you hope they just murder the shit out of each other. Hopefully not too many civilians get caught in the crossfire.

Doesn’t Russia have any “good guys” that can step in and lead? I hear that Navalney is just as bad as Putin and Prigozhin. They have to have at least one person over there that isn’t terrible and can unite them.

Putin has spent the last 30 years killing or imprisoning any sort of "good guy" who could unite the Russian people against him. All that's left are the sort of people who Putin could bribe or threaten into working with him. Usually both.

They are on such a steep demographic decline that the country will Balkanize as soon as Putin is out and the far East territories will be taken over by China

Annex Russia to Ukrane. The people want to be together, after all, I've been hearing that for years now.

Oleg Tinkof for tsar!

On second thoughts, amusing as that would be, perhaps not the best idea.
