Re: War in Ukraine...

If a coup is really on-going, the next question is who will seize power? Should we be hopeful or should we brace for another nightmare? Kadyrov is playing a long game, and I'd imagine there's some other bad actors trying to position themselves. This centuries history of power vacuums when nefarious...

Unfortunately for Ukraine I fear it is about to become a lot more bloody and messy as I don’t think Putin will back off I agree. Putin has to win.
