Such an easy question to answer:

When the world fills up on our oil instead of Russia's.

There ya go.

Are we back to regime change in Russia? Would Putin's replacement be any better?

Are we back to regime change in Russia? Would Putin's replacement be any better?

If you're hoping for another Gorbachev and Glasnost, I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon. While we folks in the West loved him, from what I'm reading he's mostly looked upon with disgust in Russia because of his globalist policies. Under Putin, Russia has become more nationalist, just as Trump is an America-first nationalist.

It would not be Putin benefiting.

Decolonization of Moscow empire is the only way to end Moscow wars of Jihadi conquest, And I don’t mean Putin´s imperialism, but Moscow imperialism in general , from Solzhenitsyn and Brodsky to Navalny and Dugin.

They spend for more gas and oil from Russia in a year than they have sent to Ukraine in four years....

They are hoping for another Yeltsin who allowed his Country to be looted by Western Corporate Jackals and Carpet baggers, when Putin first came to power they thought he would be the same, when they found out he wasn't that was when they turned against Putin and still are to this day.

Yeltsin was a gift to the Empire he was drunk all the time, the war criminal Bill Clinton was laughing at him not with him the court jester was an embarrassment to Russia.
