1. The last paragraph

But with even Russian elites turning against Putin and the population of Ukraine utterly opposed to his rule, the idea of a long-term occupation by force looks increasingly unrealistic. “The longer it goes on, the more precarious Putin's position will become domestically. A palace coup is going to become increasingly likely over time,” Alperovitch wrote.

3. I agree with that assessment.

I do not like making Hitler comparisons, but there were several attempts on his life as people within his circle knew that he was taking Germany down a path of ruin.

Ultimately, someone is going to say enough is enough and perhaps Putin will be sitting too close to a window, or something that he drinks will disagree with him.
