I think he was being facetious.
As enjoyable a it is to see Putin's misadventures blow up in his face, I'm uneasy about whether this could lead to further instability in Russia.

This is what far too few people realize. The real opposition in Russia at this point isn't liberal businessmen; it's far more overt and reactionary nationalists than Putin.
As someone who is Russian, this is incredibly true.
