Your account has been posting some of the most horrific things I've ever seen on HN. Therefore we've banned it. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30495785 for more information.
Even in the instant degradation that people have responded to this war with everywhere, including on HN, it's shocking to experience how quickly comments like this become acceptable in many minds. As long as I'm running this place they will never be acceptable here.
I highly doubt Putin is going to end up being dead, outside of a military coup or uncontainable riots where angry mobs breaking into the Kremlin.
This upcoming week is going to be crucial - peace talks have technically started, but it is unknown if Putin’s ego will cloud fair judgment leading him to double down on war efforts. OTOH if Russia’s oligarch bank accounts are heavily impacted, then they might be able to sway Putin away from doubling down.
China isn’t showing signs of aggression, which provides major relief to the international markets.
Hold your high horses. Kim dynasty is doing well, despite being in way more dire economical situation than Russia is currently in.
And Putin is well-known to be paranoid, he must've shielded himself extremely well. Save alone a full-blown civil war in Russia (highly unlikely, even after the current events), no one but his trusted people would be able to get anywhere nearby. If someone helps him to leave that most likely will be an inner job.

Ukrainians are turning out to be pretty bad ass freedom fighters.
