My mother plaits camouflage nets for soldiers, and when we try to talk about what’s happening in Ukraine we end up shouting, says Elena Kostyuchenko, a Russian journalist

Men’s average life expectancy in Russia is 69 years and Putin is 71. He’ll probably be around for another ten years. He won’t be deposed or replaced. He’ll die of natural causes, and maybe have his own mausoleum, like Lenin. He’ll be revered as a Hero of Russia. He’s fit and active and gets the best medical care, so he’s got years left in him. I’m sure that Biden will make it to 80 as he’s very frail.
Yep. And that’s one of the stones to throw at dems - they should’ve nurtured some new faces in these 4 years to replace Biden. I guess the next election would have the maximal sum of ages of primary candidates in the race. I don’t think Biden wouldn’t be able to last another four years, but he’s twice\trice the age of his average voters and he hardly gets them at all. Hard to imagine why first time voters would vote for him if not against Trump, even though his term was pretty okay.

Biden is 81 now. I’m sure Putin won’t last this long. Every one of his friends suffered from this campaign, so I think he’d be backstabbed.
@andrew_bidlaw wow. I didn’t know he was that old. I doubt that he’s got much time left.
