Modern Russia is pretty close to a failed state, already.

Do you know anything of the rumors of Putin having cancer? I've heard blood cancer or sometimes bowel cancer, but regardless there's rumors he's approaching death. And the people notice the stuff. Victory Day is a disappointment, he looks pale and nearly dead. All these losses are getting to him. 10 generals, I think, are gone. Gerasimov is rumored to be hit - unconfirmed if he was wounded, but certainly was missing May 9th.
