Ukraine is collapsing, not Russia. Why would a victorious Russian leader get couped?I think Putin getting couped out and his replacement(s) offering terms is more likely if the Donbass front collapses.

That's an old Polish goal, rebuild the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to counter Russia:

At this point all they can really do is just reannex Galicia, which seems to be the play that will be made once the Donbass front collapses.
To be fair it was a good plan. Unfortantly the Poles live next to germany.
Really that tends to be polands biggest problem being located between the two of them.
Putin doesn't really have a replacement waiting in the wings, once he's gone....things will get worse for Russia.
Which generally speaking is how russian history goes.
Not since 1945. I mean Poland has been begging Germany to spend more on their military for 10 years. Poland's biggest problem in the 20th century has been Poland's belligerence with their neighbors.To be fair it was a good plan. Unfortantly the Poles live next to germany.

I will be curious who gets control in the resulting power struggle.Putin doesn't really have a replacement waiting in the wings, once he's gone....things will get worse for Russia.

We need an alternate history section here...Not since 1945. I mean Poland has been begging Germany to spend more on their military for 10 years. Poland's biggest problem in the 20th century has been Poland's belligerence with their neighbors.
Germany attacked Poland, and genocided poles,not otherwise.And germans still refuse to pay for their crimes.
And for every german from Otton 3 times,we were belligerant when we want live free on our own land.
When for every good german it is obvious,that germans have rights to anything we have.
Overy says that of all the new states in Europe:
"Poland was almost certainly the most disliked and her Foreign Minister the most distrusted. Poland's pursuit of an independent line left her bereft of any close friends by the end of 1938.... The Western powers saw Poland as a greedy revisionist power, illiberal, anti-Semitic, pro-German; Beck was a 'menace,' 'arrogant and treacherous.'"[42]

Wishful thinking? I mean, I don't know how this is all going to end; but I do know a lot of people in the west think Putin getting removed from power will fix everything. Instead of, you know, just making things worse; which is far more likely.Ukraine is collapsing, not Russia. Why would a victorious Russian leader get couped?

Safe bet for everyoneIt's going to get worse.
Once the party's over someone's going to be stuck with a bill to pay in cash, grass, ass or lives.Safe bet for everyone

What deal are you talking about? Because I've never heard of anything like that being offered to Putin; and it doesn't make sense that it would be, considering that our leaders are puppets of China who want to surrender our country to them, not fight them.Becouse Putin is idiot,who refused deal with USA.He would ally against China - and not only could keep Siberia,but take Ukraine and Poland,too.That was offered in 2021.Idiot refused,and decide to prove that he is Napoleon.
Bad for Ukraine and Moscov army,good for everybody else.
Becouse ,once Putin is killed,new KGB colonel would take that deal and genocide us.So - long live comrade Putin.I knew,that it suck for Ukraine and Moscov - but,i live in Poland.

The Polish government will as a buffer zone when Ukraine starts falling apart.And Poland doesn't actually want Galicia with all of its Banderists:
Given that the fortifications and best troops of the Ukrainian army as all there, once it falls there is nothing stopping the Russians from exploiting to the Dnieper and beyond. As the Ukrainians have said themselves they are already outnumbered and outgunned in the Donbass and they have to guard the entire border with Russia and Belarus. Territorial units as well as some regular army ones sent into the Donbass are already mutinying and posting videos explaining why the survivors of those units are refusing to fight any further. Morale is rock bottom and only going to get worse if the Donbass falls along with 10-20k troops falling into a pocket. As it is if they don't retreat out of the Severodonetsk pocket now before it fully closes (the Soledar Highway has already been cut as of today) they will lose probably around 15,000 men. As it is they just have a 'golden bridge' that is shutting (they evacuated Lyman today) and will probably lose at least 5,000 men no matter what, but even if they do extract about 10,000 they will lose all their heavy equipment in the process.The Donbas != all of Ukraine. Even assuming that the Donbass Front actually collapses, which I'm not convinced of at this specific point in time, Ukraine still has plenty of other cities. There are Kiev, Kharkiv, Odessa, Mykolayiv, Zaporizhia, and Pavlohrad, after all.
