Russia's Putin to stay in power past 2024, sources to stay
Vladimir Putin has decided to run in the March presidential election, a move that will keep him in power until least 2030.
Dictators never retire, they die.
And never soon enough.
He's going to stay in power until he dies or is overthrown.
Depending on how the war goes and how the economy functions with sanctions and a notably smaller population, that may or may not be "past 2024."
He’s going to stay in power until he dies or is overthrown.
anyone able to overthrow him is going to make it a point to kill him as part of that process.
Anyone who is able to consolidate enough influence to actually kill Putin could be much worse. Unfortunately, that isn't the worst that could happen.
The people are going to need to pull off a classic revolution and eliminate Putin, his generals, his army of oligarchs and any other warlords that may be in waiting.
If Putin was to jump out of a window by himself there is going to be a turf war in Russia so big, it'll make the bolshevik revolution seem like a wholesome bedtime story. Other countries will need to jump in just to make sure that their nukes don't get sold to any jackass with a few hundred grand.
Even worse, if Russia ever gets that weak, China may try and step in and take over. Or, any other country that feels froggy may try and assert control somehow. That'll be messy.

"Duh" replies everyone else.
No shit, he's a dictator.
Thought he was dead.
Operation "Weekend at Vladdies" is fully underway.
Pitch that to Quibi
Yeah? Thought this was the "News" community...
My question is how many lookalike döpplegangers does he have? Losing them to assassination attempts can't be cheap since there probably aren't that many old men who look identical to him.
