At this stage he stopped having any shock value. It's the race to the bottom as Putin and Xi are prepared for the moment the US collapses.
Well putin and trump are speed running the end of empires, I think China at this point could at least get a base working on the moon. The other two.... eh maybe get there, fuck something up and die?
Putin will just be replaced by some other despot.
Maybe. Who knows, same with trump and Xi can be said. The idea that nothing can be changed is kinda how we are all in this mess.
Putin not getting killed by his own people would be about the best he can hope for at this point, and in that case I am sure that the next great leader will be just the same but with even less stability.
