Can't see Putin being overthrown. All the laws he's brought in prevent that from happening. This is somebody who first was able to shuffle between Prime Minister and President and then changed the constitution so that Presidents can only serve two terms, however that put all previous terms to zero, meaning his terms up to then didn't count. In doing this he increased the term period to six years instead of four and gave presidents lifetime immunity from prosecution. Essentially should he so wish he can remain in post until 2036.

Although I don't think anyone is untouchable, but Putin is a very paranoid man and at this point he knows he's fooked of he gives up power.

There must surely be growing discontent in Russia, it’s not 1939 anymore, people can quite clearly see how many Russians are dying on the front lines and for what? Not just that but international isolation, economic sanctions and when you’re president is cosying up to King Kong Un of all people you can surely see there is trouble afoot…

Anyway, I’ve been giving airsoft a go recently to get practice in for when I’m drafted

There is and anybody who shows it go to prison.

Russia's economy has grown since the sanctions came in. There are still ways to get things into the country. I've seen it first hand. Many forwarders offer delivery to countries bordering Russia and then they pass it to Russian backed forwarders who bring it into the country. They've found away around the banking issues also by using Turkey mainly, who allow it.
