Why not Russia? Why not have Putin answer this since most of the problems Russia is caught up in are directly linked to him? Plus a big ally of Russia was just surprised attacked by Russia's historic enemy with nary a whisper from Moscow. Putin traded all the respect and gigantic Soviet era military stockpile for Crimea. When he dies, Russia is going to shatter.
Five bucks China takes Baikal.
Russia isn't mentioned because it's no longer a superpower and it's also obvious that when Putin dies it's going to be a shitshow unless something drastic changes.
How China handles Xi's succession will probably define geopolitics for the next few decades if not longer.
