The cracks in Vladimir Putin's government are a minute for democracy to rise. They are becoming more and more visible. But there are more than 1 or 2 politicians in the planet who are trying to save him. Unfortunately, among Viktor Orbans And a fewer east men are the American president.
But let's start with Putin's fixation on Ukraine. His relentless quest to enslave and dominate his neighbors was at considerable cost. A tiny large man in boots on a platform directed many resources to this conflict, as if it were the only measurement of his power.
Not the standard of surviving of Russians, not the quality of their wellness care, not the quality of their education... no. Territorial growth “imperium” due to the fact that “father” read historical books and thinks that each age is the same with the same principles. He believes that since the Roman emperors were expanding their territories, so must he. Doesn't substance that his country is the biggest in the world, he wants more about it in textbooks.
It is not excluded that he is lurking in any deep childhood trauma, connected with his misunderstanding of history, but that is not what we are curious in now.
The consequence of his hawkish expansion war is rising inflation, unprecedentedly advanced interest rates, and a labour force mutilated by the economical consequences of his war machine. mediocre people have become poorer, sicker, unhappy even more unhappy, and... there's no way out. And there's no money. Only prices and taxes. And money for blood — sons going to the front to die for the sick fantasies of the “man of state” to enroll in textbooks.
Putin's Empire was built on the illusion of force, but he decided to show everyone the actual face of his “power” — they all saw that the Russian army was not the second strongest in the world, but the second strongest in Ukraine.
A Chance for Democracy
However, let us return to the exaggeration that harms the Russian economy. Directing so many resources to Ukraine, Putin leaves another defenceless areas. His grip on the outermost regions of the federation is weakening.
In his article “The domino is about to fall for Putin” Samuel Wynne Ward examines the possible collapse of the authoritarian government of the president of Russia (and the opportunities it offers to advance democracy and human rights worldwide, but let us not get carried distant now...).
He argues that Putin's intense focus on the conflict in Ukraine has led to major interior challenges in Russia, creating a key minute for democratic progress. possibly a small besides optimistic, but let us focus on the first point of his observation: the fall of authoritarian regimes.

Domino effect
The article suggests that excessive engagement in the Ukrainian conflict has weakened support and infrastructure in the outermost regions. As economical tensions and military failures increase, the likelihood that discontent will produce interior (within the federation) aggression is not meaningless.
With the emergence of economical force (caused by war and sanctions) and subsequent military failures, the invincibility aura begins to fade. "Kijów in 3 days" 3 years later is not a large advertising of Putin's force.
One failure leads to another and abruptly Unimaginable — the collapse of his government — seems not only possible but increasingly likely. The question is not only whether the domino will fall, but how far will its effect spread.
A snake grown in the bosom of the West
This is what you request to know about authoritarian regimes: erstwhile they fall, they make a vacuum. And vacuum is an chance and remains incomplete for a very short time. Remember what happened after the collapse of the USSR. How many armed bandits who captured russian weapons became local “barons” in the republics. How much resources and ammunition fell into the incorrect hands.
Out of this vacuum, Putin and his buddies were born. This was possible due to the fact that Instead of utilizing his power and taking control of the defeated enemy, the West began sending aid to the Russians and raising a snake in its womb.
As a result, [the man] and Vladimir Putin had time to assemble and in 2000 put Putin in the Kremlin. In 2008, they invaded Georgia and continued to gain strength. In 2014, they plundered a part of Ukraine, In 2022 they started a conflict that could become global.
Problematic Donald Trump
Now that Putin's empire bends under the weight of his miscalculations, the planet has a chance to fill this void with something better. However, this requires action that will not start on its own. This means strong support for Ukraine, strengthening the east flank of NATO and actively spreading democratic ideas in regions where Russian influences are weakening. Neutralizing the rhetoric of proputin politicians is simply a necessity.
Investment in civilian society is needed due to the fact that democracy does not simply happen, it needs care. This means economical support for the improvement groups in Russia and support for free and fair elections and sustainable programmes strengthening civilian institutions in countries where Putin's influence is strong. Just...
...just that orange Mussolini came on stage.
Putin's White home Man
Do you now realize why the Kremlin is so pleased that Donald Trump is in the White House? Why is he glad that he eviscerated the USAID (International improvement Agency of the United States) and threatened to close the Radio Free Europe and the Voice of America? Do you realize why they're so happy that the U.S. Department of Justice is going to abolish sanctions against oligarchs who are close to the cremel establishment?
Do you realize why they're so happy that the U.S. lawyer General Pam Bondi suspended the powers of national law enforcement to analyse suspicious companies associated with Russian influence trading? Do you realize Putin now has an ally in the White House? possibly not even a ‘sun’, but an official...
Donald Trump was "bred" as a Russian agent for 40 years, as Yuri Szwiec claims, a erstwhile KGB spy. According to him, Trump's vulnerability to flattery made him the perfect recruitment target, starting in the 1980s.
The ties between the current U.S. president and Russia began reportedly erstwhile he bought TVs to his first hotel from the company to russian roots, and deepened on his journey to Moscow in 1987, erstwhile the KGB allegedly aroused political ambitions in him.
Shortly thereafter, Trump published advertising in newspapers criticizing NATO and U.S. allies, which according to Szwiec, were recognized by the KGB as a successful "active campaign". In 2021, “The Guardian” published an article (“The perfect goal: Russia shaped Trump as its capital for 40 years — a erstwhile KGB spy”). It describes how the Supper compared Trump to the celebrated cold war spies and criticized Mueller report For incomplete examination of Trump's Russian connections.
