The last thing you'd want is Putin out of the picture. He is many things but he is not dumb. Imagine nutjobs like Medvedev taking over...

That scenario would do a lot of things regarding american foreign policy goals.... We could see things like:

-russia losing khaliningrad

-russia losing siberia

-russian people angry about the vast amounts of wealth wasted on war, and moving towards liberalism of the nation

And perhaps other nations that russia has gobbled up (georgia if i'm not mistaken) becoming free and independent again

I can’t see either of those first two words things happening, regardless of the outcome of the war.
