I wonder what kind of people the Freedom ( of Russia) Legion consists of, and what they really want. They are described as being 200 man strong, ultra-nationalists, anti-Putin and anti- Wagner.

Well, I get the words & their meaning, but these descriptions can mean anything. Are they pro or anti-democratic for example; or do they just want to dethrone Putin and that's it?

Good question. Toppling Putin is a good mission. Is their idea of succession more of the same fascism or something better for Russia?

You know ... the biggest evidence that Putin is still out-of-touch is that he hasn't fled his country yet while he still can. Does he want to wait until some rogue element compromises his ability to leave?

Where would he go?

China? I doubt they would let him "operate".

Go on the run and hide. Someplace far from everywhere else. He can still get away and cover his tracks with the support of his orgs. That could change at any given moment though, it just takes a loyalty flip somewhere.
