    But the only one who opposed Putin (with any military power) being dead isn’t necessary a good thing (imho)

    Replacing one dictator with another who has the support of something like the Wagner group would not have been good for anyone but the Wagner group.

      There would be no clean replacement. It would get very bloody and chaotic. Not a bad hypothetical scenario. But that ship has sailed when Prihozhin surrendered (he didn’t stand much of a chance anyway).
