As glad I'd be to see the back of Putin, his demise raises the possibility of worse to come: (a) He might just think to himself, to hell with it, and launch nukes as he nears death or (b) he could be replaced by someone worse.
I'd really hope that the rest of the Russian regime has a lick of self preservation instinct, and that if Vlad ordered a launch someone would have the courage to pop him, and then be like " such a shame he couldn't take the pressure and shot himself, isn't that right comrades?" .
