How come Putin never has an accident out of a window?

Would we even hear about it? Him and his inner circle know pretty well the biggest flaw of autocratic systems and dictatorships: peaceful transfer of powers. If Putin will die, chances are we will only hear about it a week after, when the new positions are set and the new opponents are selected and incarcerated

Because these things move very slowly. But when they turn it's unstoppable. Read up or watch video of the end of Ceaucescu.

Human beings are simple and stupid, they worship Putin and Putin surrounds himself with people who would never have a path upward in the ranks if he trips on the balcony.
