Romanian news source "adevarul" writes (quoted in a German newspaper)
Only Putin's elimination could avert the danger of a generalized war. Certainly, his (Putin's) generals and political camarilla have also come to this conclusion. Probably these days there are secret talks with the secret services of NATO, about calming down the situation in a post-Putin era. (...) Members of the Russian political and military elite also have families, children and grandchildren. They have no inclination to commit collective suicide. It is only a matter of days before this elite will depose Putin, peacefully or violently.

I have started to wonder about this ^, too. How long before the rich and the military elites turn against Putin?
