RE:The Putin Put coming? There won't be a huge oil collapse even if Putin is gone and Russia is no longer under his control. Oil and Gas supply of Europe won't becoming from Russia again for the foreseeable future. The world has learned that Russia can never be trusted, and that toothpaste will never go back in the tube.
Besides the price of oil is now the same as prior to Russian invasion of Ukraine, so we are reflecting fundamentals and not the Russian political situation.

The fear is that his replacement will be worse than him but let's remember the old time hardliners tried a coup in 1991 and failed. I think they may try again but will also fail.
This is yet another reason Recaf needs to move and move faster. If there is a new friendly regime to come in Russia oil and gas will flow heavy and fast resulting in a huge oil price collapse.
