If the military turns on him, it would seem unlikely he'd get away. The yacht is worthless as a getaway vehicle. An airplane will be tracked with modern technology.
@DB Maybe I am wrong,but I THINK that all he has to do is get out of Russia and apply for diplomatic immunity. I have no doubt at all that China would give him a safe place to stay,and there may be other countries who would do the same. Former Police state leaders seem to look out for each other.
NOT saying he won't get whacked while walking down the street if he sets up shop in Paris or some other European nation,but he would be as safe as a baby in his mother's arms if he flees to China,and he would be treated like Royalty in China.
How freaking ironic is THAT?
I am GUESSING that he MIGHT be safe in some South American nations,but I know next to nothing about them,other than Cuba. He might not even be safe in Cuba since the Communist regime there is so dependent on Russia for aide.
Then again,thee and me don't NEED to know these things,but I am reasonably certain that Pooty-Poot has been giving this sort of thing a lot of consideration recently. There can be no doubt there are a LOT of Russians who would love to get their hands on him,and I am not talking about officials.
