    I don’t imagine another fascist being on the throne helps, is there a positive outcome from this? Maybe it will greatly hinder their war effort?

      I think the biggest gain is simply that this guy and likely any other Putin replacement would end the war in Ukraine, because they know it’s a waste of lives, money, and reputation. It’s hard to be worse than Putin at this point. And heck, even with Putin still on the “throne”, it could give Putin the excuse his cowardly ass needs to back out of the war.
