Kudos to Volodymyr Zelensky

This was the headline over at Reuters yesterday:
Vladimir Putin is full of shit. He wasn't on the edge of pulling back his invading army for peace. As far as I'm concerned, Zelensky should send drones to wherever Putin is, in perpetuity, or at least until the "special military operation" is over.
I have said this, from the start:
If Donald Trump dies (Biden in 2022), the United States Constitution would hold up and the next president would quickly be chosen through the process of presidential succession. It is really that simple.
If Volodymyr Zelensky dies, things are a little trickier. If you go all the way back to the 2004 Ukrainian Presidential Election, the biggest pockets of Russian support were in Donetsk and Crimea. If Zelensky dies and the Ukrainian Presidential election DOESN'T include the occupied territories, Ukraine is getting a new Kyiv-friendly president. Probably even more Right-Wing and anti-Russian than Zelensky.
If Vladimir Putin dies, there will be chaos. Just this week, Vladimir Putin 's "Keeper of Secrets," Yuri Sadovenko died under mysterious circumstances. He went from most trusted advisor, to fired, to dead at 56, in about a year. Russia has no succession plan under Putin, just "yes men" and "fearful oligarchs." I am still convinced that if Putin dies, up to 6 Russian Republics will declare independence immediately, the Russian Military is too bogged down in Ukraine to be in a half dozen places at once. Russia could conceivably break out in Civil War, the Russian Constitution was re-written by Putin, to keep himself in power as long as possible.
According to various sources, Zelensky has survived over a dozen assassination attempts. If Vladimir Putin doesn't want Ukrainians to keep trying to kill him, he should end the war.
Again, very simple. Offing your enemy's leader is a risk of war.
Beacon of Speech endorses Zelensky's War Strategy toward the leader of Russia.
Would the next Russian Leader end the Ukraine Invasion? It's hard to tell, the next guy may have to wade through an ankle-deep amount of blood to assume power.
But Zelensky gets extra points here for praying for Putin's Death on Christmas, dude has a brass set of balls.
You think I'm exaggerating about Russian Republics declaring independence?
According to Google's own AI Program:
Chechnya: Frequently mentioned as a top candidate due to its history of separatism and its distinct, strongman leadership under Ramzan Kadyrov, which operates somewhat independently of Moscow.
Tatarstan: Possesses a strong regional identity, significant economic resources, and a history of seeking greater autonomy, making it a likely candidate for increased sovereignty.
Bashkortostan: Cited for having a distinct identity and active, albeit small, anti-government movements that could intensify in a weakened center.
Sakha (Yakutia): Due to its vast natural resources and distance from Moscow, it is often mentioned in discussions of potential regional breakaways.
Dagestan & Ingushetia: Mentioned alongside Chechnya as part of the North Caucasus region with strong potential for secessionist movements.
