  • Tim assesses Putin's apparent health decline as a serious problem for everyone.
  • Russian language is exhaustingly complicated—takes forever just to say one word.
  • Media coverage whipsaws between claiming Russians are losing and then a city gets burned to the ground.
  • Tim's strategy: tell Putin he's winning so he stops trying so hard.
  • Coup rumors are now circulating, with oligarchs allegedly unhappy about losing money.
  • The alleged replacement being floated is the current FSB head—identity unknown at first.
