The war won\u2019t end through negotiations; only putting Putin on trial can stop it<\/strong><\/p>\n

I repeat: there is no \u201ccollective Putin.\u201d It was not some system that created him\u2014Putin created the system. He is its backbone and core.<\/p>\n

The system is made up of people, and in this case, they support Putin because their financial well-being and security depend on him. But the motivations of each individual differ.<\/p>\n

Putin is the unifying force. Neither Patrushev nor Shoigu, Mishustin, Medvedev, nor anyone else created the ideological basis for the attack on Ukraine, wrote the pseudo-historical articles, or invented the myths. They either actively supported him or silently acquiesced\u2014but did nothing independently without his orders.<\/p>\n

Once Putin is removed, the entire pyramid will collapse. A power struggle will follow, opening a window of opportunity to end the war\u2014something only Putin truly wants. All that remains is to back the right hyena and help it devour its rivals.<\/p>\n\t\t
