11. We're all eager and lacking patience

and, you're right, there have been predictions about Russia's downfall for years. But there are signs that things are getting dire, particularly the fuel shortages that are affecting everyday Russians.

The military is being forced to use World War II relics because so much of the the most advanced tech equipment is destroyed.

Putin is growing increasingly paranoid, even turning on some of the most trusted members of his inner circle.

The noose is tightening.

As for Trump's "health plan," nobody put any credence in that from the start.
