Putin Should Probably Appoint a Successor, No?

Dmitri Medvedev, who served as interim president of Russia and is now one of the most powerful and influential members of Putin’s inner circle, has declared that the Kiev Junta must be completely exterminated, and the criminals and drug addicts who run it not be allowed to flee.

This is really the only reasonable position to take at this point. Kiev has made it clear that there are never going to be negotiations, so there are no options left other than an Iraq style government decapitation.

Although Iraq is now effectively an Iranian proxy, it is notable that the country is more or less stable at this point, despite the entire leadership of the country having been systematically eliminated.

Conversely, Libya is not stable at all. Though no real effort was ever put into building a new government there, and it appears (at least) that the US is still funding terrorists in Libya that are preventing the reestablishment of order.

Afghanistan isn’t comparable, because the established government of the country – the Taliban – was never destroyed, and maintained perfectly disciplined structure throughout the 20-year war and occupation (further proof that Pashtuns are the master race).

RT:

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has called for the “complete dismantling” of the “Kiev regime,” as well as for inflicting “mass destruction” on the country’s military personnel and hardware. 

Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chair of Russia’s National Security Council, made the remarks in a Telegram post on Friday, commenting on an interview Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky recently gave to several Nordic media outlets. He summarized Zelensky’s comments as consisting of demands for more weapons from Kiev’s Western backers and promises of a successful counteroffensive, including an attack on Crimea, while also warning that the conflict may drag on for “decades.”

Haha.

Centuries, even!

It could be the first 1,000-year war!

While the interview appeared to be “contradictory” and “delusional,” even such statements should not be underestimated, Medvedev warned. 

“One should not underestimate even delusional speeches. This is a hysterical manifesto of the Kiev regime, which is seeking to consolidate its Nazi elites, maintain the morale of the troops and receive additional support from its sponsors.”

To successfully foil Kiev’s plans, Russia must inflict “mass destruction of personnel and military equipment” during the much-hyped Ukrainian counteroffensive and inflict a “maximum military defeat” on Kiev’s military, Medvedev said. Ultimately, the “Nazi regime in Kiev” must be “completely dismantled” and demilitarized throughout the entire territory of “former Ukraine,” he added. 

YES.

That’s what we want to hear.

From now on, the Kiev Junta should be referred to as “The Territory of the Former Ukraine.”

I am also comfortable classifying it as a “Whatever Regime,” similar to the Whatever Regime of the United Snakes.

Apart from that, Russia must pursue those who manage to flee, and seek “retribution” against the “key figures of the Nazi regime, regardless of their location and without statute of limitations,” Medvedev stressed. Anything short of that would not suffice, the ex-president believes. 

“Otherwise, they will not calm down, and the drug-addled nonsense can turn into reality and the war will drag on for a long time. Our country does not need that,” Medvedev said.

I’m 100% behind hunting down every last one of these rats, putting them on trial and executing them.

I would never presume to speak on behavior of the future Fuentes Government of America, but if I were going to presume to speak on behalf of the future Fuentes Government of America, I would assure Mr. Medvedev that that United States will be in full cooperation with the process of capturing the hohol war criminals and bringing them to justice in Moscow or Donetsk or wherever we’re going to be doing these trials.

I would humbly request, however, that the military men be given firing squads. I think the worst thing about the Nuremberg Trials, worse than all of those stupid Jewish hoaxes about wooden doors and electric floors, was the hanging of military men. No matter what crimes the hohols committed, if they wore a uniform on the battlefield, they deserve a firing squad. That is one of those things that transcends everything else, in every case. (I understand there will be arguments that the hohols are not a military but a band of bandits and pirates, however, from what I’ve seen, they are fighting a war, they are wearing a national insignia associated with the land of their birth, and I will argue for the firing squad.)

Zelensky, who by the way is an actor, should be hanged like a horse thief or kiddie fiddler. The fact that he walks around in a green t-shirt does not make him a military man, or give him the right to the honor of a firing squad.

Medvedev is Heir Apparent, No?

In my opinion, short of Putin producing a well-disciplined teenage son from his gymnast girlfriend, Medvedev is current heir apparent. Even if Putin did decide to publicly present a son, he would be too young and Medvedev would be regent.

I think at some point, this should be made official. Putin is not getting any younger.

I’ve also pointed to the President of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, as a potentially viable successor.

What we do not want is a situation where Putin gets sick and there’s a power struggle that the Americans would have whatever amount of influence on, and someone releases that neo-Nazi cosmetics-scamming psycho Navalny from prison and tries to do a march on Moscow.

An actual criticism I have of China is that they don’t ever make these sorts of suggestions. They have this extremist ideal of national autonomy for their allies where they don’t even dare to press issues of this sort. If I were Xi, I would be bringing up this question of succession, and asking for clarity on a path.

Obviously, these rumors that Putin is on steroids and dying of 17 different cancers and has cyborg limbs were very dumb, and by all accounts he appears very healthy, but again – not getting any younger, and having no heir in a country that is entirely built on the back of one man is a concerning situation. Frankly, if Putin was 50, it would be concerning. Accidents happen, assassinations happen, and if the people have at least a general idea of who the king has chosen as heir, there is much less room for trouble.

I don’t know enough about internal Russian politics to know if there is some fourth option, after Medvedev, Pushilin, and a potential son of Putin.

To be clear, since Putin’s divorce (yes, a man who is arguably the single most powerful man in the world was not good enough for a woman), he’s allegedly only had one girlfriend, with whom he has allegedly been very serious – Alina Kabaeva, an Olympic gold metal gymnast who was briefly involved in politics.

The general belief is that they have 3 or more children together. Putin has always been coy (maybe even shy) about the whole thing and has obviously wanted to keep it a secret, but has nonetheless appeared with her in public on various occasions.

The first child probably would have been born in 2008-2009, which would make him/her a young teenager. Putin as a habit of firing “Dos Equis” as they say (I don’t know if they say that, I think I just made it up, but it’s pretty funny, no?), so it’s possible there is no son, even if there are 4 kids.

The other problem is that Putin is still not legally the de facto Czar in the way that Xi is now legally the de facto Emperor. There are nagging elements of Western democracy still on the books in Russia (which have created nothing but problems, by the way).

The way I would do it is officially reestablish the monarchy (which has an heir) as the country’s official sovereign, and have the monarchy then appoint Putin as “president for life” with full supreme leader status (in the service of the Czar and with the blessing of the Moscow Patriarch, of course). This would give the monarchy the official ability to appoint the successor that Putin chooses. This also means the idea of some freak neo-Nazi homosexual democracy-believer challenging the throne becomes a nonstarter, and would require a Lenin-type revolution, which is presumably impossible.

The thing is, the war is the perfect time to introduce a new Constitution, which would allow for Putin to appoint a successor, and even do something 18th century, like appoint his son with Medvedev as regent (that wouldn’t be the term, as in my scenario, Putin would not be Czar, but supreme leader). Of course, Putin could also just coronate himself as Czar, but this would be weird and not really provide any benefit. Russia has an extreme consciousness of history, so giving the official heir their throne back makes the most sense.

This is what I would be advising every week if I were at the meetings. But no one invites me to the meetings. I don’t know why that is, but no one invites me to the meetings.
