Ukraine

If Putin dies, a successor might (secretly) align with Ukraine. Something like "If you attack XX, I will remove my troops from ZZ, if you don't attack me. I will be focusing on a bread & butter campaign if I run Russia. Take care of my rivals in the meantime, mm'kay?"

Mind, I would prefer Russia outright being conquered and Marshall Planned into something completely different, but I would accept the other scenario if the outcome could be decent. In this case, Ukraine gets back Crimea and all other territories, plus security guarantees.

Oh cool everybody loves a Russian power vacuum

Please stop, I can only get so happy...

Between now and that party day there is still a lot of time for Putin to fuck things over. Be ready.

Also, when Putin dies, who will take over? I can guarantee you that Russia won't be a human loving democracy after he's gone, it'll just be the next dictator who takes over. Putin will make sure his legacy is perfect (because for guys like him, it's all about bullshit like dynasty and legacy) and then place the next Putin but probably worse.

Also, please take trump and the US government with you?

I'm sure the next soulless monster is lined up to take control of the cesspool.

Finally some good news for once

Got a special drone delivery soon? 😏

Here's hoping

One can only hope.

You love to hear it

Never know what the future will hold

If CK2 taught me one thing, it's that claim wars automatically end when the claimant dies. As soon as putin keels over all the red flagged armies in Ukraine will go neutral and have to walk back home.
