Glad the Russians are in retreat.
Hopefully Putin will soon be dragged out into the nearest courtyard and
given the Lavrenti Beria treatment:

Then what? He'll just be replaced with yet another tyrant, which has been
the case for the last thousand years. It's par for the course when it comes
to autocracies.
Rod Steiger summed it up quite well in "A Fistful of Dynamite" (1972):
"I know what I am talking about when I am talking about the revolutions. The people who read the books go to the people who can't read the books, the
poor people, and say, "We have to have a change." So, the poor people make
the change, ah? And then, the people who read the books, they all sit around the big polished tables, and they talk and talk and talk and eat and eat and eat, but what has happened to the poor people? They're DEAD! THAT's your revolution! Shhh... So, please, don't tell me about revolutions! And what happens afterwards? The same fucking thing starts all over again!"
