What started out as a “Three Day Special Military Operation” has dragged into an all-out war between Russia and the Ukraine and a proxy war with NATO and other countries supporting the Ukrainians. By September 2023, the two countries will have been fighting for 21 months. The longer the war in Ukraine drags on, particularly if Ukraine, as it appears, to be gaining the upper hand, Russia will be facing a critical decision, does Putin stay on as Russia’s president?
In this presentation, Marc provides insight into two questions. Faced with defeat either on the battlefield or in a ceasefire or both, what are Putin’s options? And, assuming Putin leaves office, what will happen inside Russia once Putin is gone?
Marc is a combat veteran of Vietnam, the Tanker Wars of the 1980s and Desert Shield/Storm and retired from the Navy as a Captain after 26 years of service. He is a Naval Aviator with just under 6,000 hours of flight time in helicopters and fixed wing aircraft.
