That is the western propaganda for justifying diminishing Russia. "If we are lucky a civil war fractures Russia into balkanized sections which the US/CIA will be able to keep divided and warmongering amongst each other. Blow up their oil. Yay!". Instead, Russians understand this war as defensive, and don't believe "NATO is a purely defensive alliance" BS, any more than non-imbeciles in west believe it, instead of willingly going along with the hateful propaganda lies because they have internalized their rulers warmongering profits as if it were a sports home team.

We can all be very thankful for Putin's restraint on nuclear strikes of US bases in Europe, or Aircarrier fleets off coast of Israel. If anything, opposition in Russia that would replace him, if impression was that Russia was losing/Putin approach was failing, would be more aggressive in ending the war once and for all.

Too many nukes

First of all, however shitty Russian regime is (you have no idea how I hate that crap), by the amount of crimes committed lately it's not worse than Turkey or Israel, or a certain superpower backing them. So if it is in that court, and those others are not, the fact alone will be ironic enough.
