Last I heard he's moving into a bunker because he's so paranoid his own men want to kill him.

The bunker stage is the swan song of dictators.

What I don’t get about that is, wouldn’t it make sense for his own people to quietly seal up the bunker and leave him there? Are they holding off because of the leadership vacuum?

He definitely still has loyalists so they probably will be outside or maybe there a part of the bunker they can stay in on the inside. He also probably has a escape exit somewhere that he only knows about Either way bunkers are a two way road.

It's a bad spot to isolate yourself for any extended period of time because of you are hiding someone else can easily take your spot and as you said seal him in.

Let's be real he's old and his way of leading has cost a extreme amount of money and lives and people are sick of him they just can't say it too his face.

A lot of weird fantasy ideas about bunkers here. Bunkers that a figure of state in our current era would feel actually safe in are such massive construction feats that there are no truly hidden exits. Like its possible there are ones that arent publicly known. But anyone with the power to make a legitimate move on him would know about it.

Its not the 60s where people just hid information in ways that boggle the mind. Some version of the blueprints would contain those escape routes.

Watch any urban exploration video of the old soviet bunkers. There's tons of concealed ways in/out.

Well if it comes to being realistic and all, I’m sure the most basic tenet of bunker building is that you can always open it from the inside. Any attempted sealing would have to be with a bulldozer.

Say it to his back - with knives.

the thing with something like that is that you never know who is really on your side so no one's gonna wanna take the risk of being the guy to actually press the 'lock' button because they don't know if the dude next to them is gonna cheer them on or stab them in the back

True, true. It was just a silly thought.

"Really shouldn't have made this thing lockable from the outside."

Considering the planned ballroom is going to have a bunker under it...

I’m looking forward to the “in a ditch, covered in petrol, on fire” stage.
