Mariupol will give Putin easy access to the Crimea, and on the other
side of Ukraine he means to cut off Ukraine from bordering on Nato.
Putin is extremely dangerous and will use nukes if he's threatened.
One miscalculation on our part or others could spell disaster.

Taking 'Tag's observation to heart, which NATO member is the one likely to break ranks? How do Poland and Belarus play together? Belarus is the third drunk to join the bar fight. Who else might join in? Will Putin try to bully Norway for hosting US forces for most of Trump's administration? Or try to make Sweden and Switzerland take a stand for neutrality?
Marco Rubio has said something is off with Putin; maybe he'll get an old fashioned Russian Retirement.

That's entirely possible -- and he knows it. He's got himself into a position where he's literally fighting for his life -- and that makes the situation very dangerous for everyone else.

I think those close to Putin are probably like him - ex KGB, although his two Generals didn't look too happy.
Hopefully, someone will hit his ankle with an umbrella, but I wouldn't count on it.

Who would replace him ? Better, or worse ? Are there any Stalin male decendents ?
