I think Russia needs a new captain at the helm. One who cares about Russia and will not screw everything up though as has been done in the past. Huge progress has been made, that should not be derailed.
There is the dilemma. Putin and his people have done a great job, could the next team fill the shoes of his? Ultimately it's not up to me though.
As the chief executive, Trump had confirmed some of the facts. He had threatened Iraq's current prime minister with letting ISIS run wild in the country, staging mass protests against the government, and setting up snipers to shoot the protestors and blaming it on the government. He also went to Saudi Arabia to ask for money to maintain troops in Syria which goes back to the offer they made to Obama to bankroll the invasion.
The banks are heavily exposed to the shale loans and they've been cutting the percentage they'd lend on the reserves. The renewal of the loans and setting of the terms for the new loans is coming up soon.
Shale production will bounce back again. How much it will recover will be a big tell on whether US shale has peaked and headed for a fast fall. I think the last bloodbath in shale in 2014-2016 bought some time and lowered the cost-breakevens. The wells for the smaller fish were acquired for pennies on the dollar, and the drilling became more efficient as reserves were consolidated under one operator. The same will happen again.
I am not against Putin in power until the end of his active life, but this shows an immaturity of the political system in Russia. Next rulers of Russia will receive tremendous power, and I am not sure that they can dispose of it correctly.

It was only a proposal by Valentina Tereshkova, it has to be approved by the constitutional court first.
Uh no, the Duma passed the "proposal." This is different. Putin has only pretended to be democratic all this time, why would anyone think he would change? He is the biggest supporter of autocracy in the world and harnessed a lot of Russia's resources to keep things this way. Its the 70's all over again in Moscow, "stabilization" over progress. Oil money is used to build public projects to give the appearance of progress but Brezhnev did this too. Anything but the 90's as a motto still works I guess...
