IMO- I think we're less than 2 weeks away from pukein breaking or a coup to take him out. There doesn't seem to be anyone else in his military circle that has his mindset.
How many experienced generals does pukein have to kill off? One of our generals have said the only reason his generals are even in harms way is because the troops have no experience and there's no middle military control.
So if he's gone, Georgia, Crimea, and the Donbas my even revert and go independent.
