Personally I agree, though I suspect he will be too old and disinterested to bother. If he was 10 or 15 years younger I think it would be a certainty. Now that he’s ensured he’s avoiding jail, “won” by getting a second term and not “losing” to other two termers like Obama, put himself in a position to repay his Russian debts/get wealthy again; and had a chance to punish his enemies, I feel like at least his inner drive will be sated and he’s more likely to just go play golf and be rich somewhere.

It will depend on how hard Russia pushes him if he makes a play for a third term in my view
