It has to be a democracy of some kind with independent courts, a benevolent dictator won't do, once he's gone, who replaces him? Not many Russians are against the will of the people, they've been running a sham democracy for a long time, even the Soviet Union had "elections". They have the form of democracy, but not the substance now, the ruling party is popular because there are no alternatives, they are dead or in prison. No open and free media, if there were, a fluent Russian speaker like Zelenskiy (former Russian TV celebrity) would have destroyed Vlad in his own back yard on TV after a month of war. Vlad knows this and it's why he censored the media so heavily and quickly, why he sent so many kill teams to infiltrate and try and kill him. With out censored media, this war would have torn Russia apart and Vlad would be making a quick exit, one way or another.

we cannot make that decision for them. the russian people have to decide what direction to go in. if they pick democracy, more power to them. if they don't, then we have to respect their decision, and keep a wary eye on them. i hope that they're in a position to make any kind of choice after this. if putin remains in power, there's very little we can do about it without escalating the conflict, which is essentially what we're trying not to do. if putin is ousted, one way or another, then it is up to the russians to decide what they want, and it's up to us to respect that. if we try to set up a puppet government, do you not think China and Xi might have something to say about it? do we want to antagonize them this soon after nearly having WW3 in our laps?

Ummmmm, there's a good chance he doesn't vote..most of their hard core really does not. It's weird. Probably because there's rules involved and well you know how rules go over with them.

If I were Russian, I'd be wondering why the west just up and left my country en masse.

There is a possibility he could be talking about Matthew 13:25.

Also, Slaughter of the Innocents.

Troll watches too much TV..this is the storyline of EVIL Sunday nights on CBS returning June 12th. 2 seasons so you have time to catch-up.

what's it like living in an alternate universe? how do you travel back and forth to this one?
is it a big machine, that leaves a burning ring around you when you land naked, like in terminator? or do you land quietly, but disoriented, like in 12 monkeys? is that what is wrong with you now? time travel disorientation? but dimensional travel, instead of time travel?....or are you just really stupid?

No puppet government, but not one that believes and spouts pan Russian heartland bullshit, or all the sanctions stay on. Their treatment depends on their behavior and that largely depends on their form of government. Authoritarians always need an enemy, an "other", if they don't exist, they will create strawmen, works in America too. When they stop looking for an "other" and start looking inward, then they can be dealt with. When they genuinely want to better themselves and not live in needless fear, while behaving like animals. We can't deal with Vlad or even one of his heirs, if he comes from the same bunch of KGB assholes and is stuck with the same stupid ideas.

The Raputitsa, the spring rainy season in Eastern Europe that stretches from Poland to the Urals, which will last until near the end of May. No sane military launches a large offensive near Kiev or the Donbas during this time when it can rain inches a day for days on end. The Pripet marshes, the area surrounding Kiev, areas near the Dnepr, Dniester, Mius, and Don rivers are all deep mud swamps off the roads right now. Historically only military despots have launched offensives in these areas during the Raputitsa, and all have lost hugely. Only Totalitarian leaders have shown to have the internal political power to be able to force the launch of an offensive against all sane and non-sycophantic military advice.
