If Regime Change In Russia Is The Goal, Shouldn’t We Think About What Comes Next?

Good people everywhere want to see Ukraine defend itself against the brutal Russian invasion, but if the real goal of U.S. foreign policy is to oust Vladimir Putin, let’s hope the diplomats and spies have thought things through.

You don’t have to be a Russian stooge to worry about what could happen in a destabilized Russia, with Kremlin creeps and crooked oligarchs scrambling to fill a power vacuum. Putin may rock the pitchfork and horns, but it’s not enough. “better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.”

Instead of easing those fears, we are told to choose one of two things. First, we are told that Putin’s primary goal is not being taken out. The second is that Putin’s removal from power would be a positive thing and there is no reason to worry. The conversation seems to have ended there.

Take into account that President Joe Biden barked Last March in Poland “For God’s sakes, this man cannot remain in power,” Referring to Russia’s president. The White House then walked the statement back. Yet it seems Biden’s gaffe is actually a common sentiment in the Beltway by key players.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R.S.C.) has always insisted that Putin be expelled. In March 2022, the South Carolinian contacted a Russian official to help him. assassinate Putin. He added that there was a 2.5% increase in May. “no off-ramp” Ending the war.

In return, U.S. taxpayer dollars were spent on military aid and billions of dollars were sent to Russia and Ukraine. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost and no end was in sight.

Graham has continued to claim that the war will continue until the Russian president is out of office — one way or another.

Graham seems to have it right. This war could go on for at most the next few years. next year, The new shipment of U.S. tank carriers was a great success.

This means that there is more bloodshed for everyone, an escalation which could lead to World War III, as well as a lower chance of a peaceful resolution any time soon.

Readers should know that Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda made it clear at the World Economic Forum that Ukraine’s military success and leadership turnover in Russia go hand-in-hand.

The Lithuanian president let it slip that he doesn’t know what exactly would come next, but at least the war will have ended.

“I have no illusions that it will be a democratic government replacing Vladimir Putin — probably there will be a long transitional period ahead and nobody knows what will be the outcome — but probably it would lead to the resolution of this crisis in Ukraine,” He explained.

Nausėda seems to be the most honest one out there.

He’s at least admitting that he has no idea what it means to have a Russia without Putin. He, like many leaders, is not hesitant about shaking up Russia’s government. Individuals who are more cautious are advised to stop being so naive and accept that diplomatic actions are not an option.

Putin is unquestionably a dictator. His crimes in Ukraine are horrific, and most Americans want Ukraine to win the war — whether that’s through negotiations or outright winning. These data show that a growing number taxpayers want Washington push Ukraine to peace talks.  A December poll showed that 47% of Americans wanted Washington to advocate diplomacy and end the war – up from 38% who held that position last July.

While it would seem like world leaders should be trying to end the war, they are doing the contrary. Officials are not paying attention to the dangers of a unstable nuclear power. “transitional” government. What is the transition to? It doesn’t really matter, we’re told.

However, those who want Putin to be gone need to be careful about what they wish. They might just get it. But what could happen next?
