Putin will never end this war. Putin got himself into a dead end, it was a suicidal decision, suicidal personally for Putin, his regime and Putin’s Russia and even possibly, since he mentioned such options, for the whole planet. He amended the constitution in 2020.. Putin could have completely calmly remained in power two more terms .ie. 12 years after 2024, that is, till 2036. He had some internal problems, his rating dropped, he had economic problems but all that is peanuts compared to what he created himself. Putin is such a person who .. I will remind you when he and I entered the Krasnoznamyoni Institute in 1984, it was a department which prepared spies, then Putin in 1985 was given the following evaluation: A man who under the influence of emotions can make decisions which will be detrimental for him personally and for the department he works for. So the external intelligence clearly said: This man we do not need. This man is dangerous. We will not take him. We are returning him after he has taken the course of lessons, to where he came from. That’s it. That is why Putin never became a great spy. A Stierlitz he never became. Not only Stierlitz but any spy. And this assessment proved correct. However, this evaluation also says that Putin is a very dangerous man, because he is a man who is capable of taking suicidal steps.
Andrei Piontkovsky would disagree with Zhirnov: Putin wants to live.
