Pick whatever non-NATO source.

    No matter who actually did it. Russia would blame Ukraine/NATO/USA/The West in general, together and separately in rotation.

    After that I have no real idea, who would succeed. There would be a massive power struggle both in the government and military.

    There is a strong possibility that several of the autonomous regions within the Russian federation would try to break away. There is about a 20% chance of a civil war because of this.

    And about a 1% chance of nukes being used.

        If they had instead focused on Kirov production the Ukraine war would have gone very differently.

        Was Dolly done in a vat? You can clone humans no problem. It’s just the age difference that’s the problem. And you don’t get to transfer the mind but we’ll have that figure out soon too.

      That’d probably be true for a while, but after that they’d need to start an “election” where some military commander or other higher up will take his chair.

        Fascists do not care about truth or facts, only authority, so whichever they deem more useful to them at the time they will make use of.

          This isn’t about truth or facts. If something major happens in Russia or related to it and the president doesn’t show up to talk about it, that would raise eyebrows. Now imagine that happening over and over again. Putin dying would be the perfect opportunity for the US to start swaying Russia into a civil war. They definitely don’t want the president’s chair to be empty and contested for.

          The most useful thing to them will always be to shove anyone atop that chair before the US notices.

    destabilization until the Kremlin finds a new president in that time probably multiple nations would be indipendent and Ukraine would pretty much launch their offensive and the union state collapses and tv stations all across Russia hijacked
