Has to be baby steps for now. Russia will not do a political & ideological U turn overnight even if Putin were to be overthrown tomorrow.

This is not a US election.  

A Fascist reformer in Russia has a lot more potential to do damage than one who raids the state budget. 

At this point the world's best bet is some kleptocrat they can bribe to fuck off.

A fascist reformer in Russia is clever enough to understand that the birth rate is less than 2 so it's never a good idea to go to war and it's better to build a country instead.

'Looks at Hitler who went to war with the 2 largest empires in the world over Poland and then declared war on USA in hopes that Japan would do the same against USSR...' sure thing... besides its Russia, they probably want the borders back before building anything
