Yes, one thing about Putin's mafia form of government is that if the godfather is no longer able to keep the money flowing, he will be put to pasture and someone with a cooler head will take his place. It's an unfortunate situation for Russia but even if Putin goes insane and wants to die in a nuclear fire, his system of patronage will follow the logic of greed. And they're going to be very angry about this when they lose their yachts.
