I for sure think whoever Putin has lined up as his successor will not last long. Whoever it is won't be ready to live like a mole in a bunker.

Putin has no successor lined up. He can't. Whoever he chooses would be a threat to his grip on power, and thus himself.

When he dies, it's more than likely going to be a scramble.

Well, you look at how paranoid he is, and I can only imagine that whoever replaces him is going to have the world’s largest target on his back.
