There has to be so much distrust and dissatisfaction with Putin that he can't possibly lead the Russian government any longer.

Ukrainians are going to have to get the truth to the Russian people, and they're doing a fine job so far. Hackers, especially "Anonymous", are doing a great job as well, but they all have to double their efforts in the remaining critical hours before Putin starts the wholesale genocide if the Ukrainian people.

Change comes from within, and the Russian people must lose their fear of Putin and demand that change.

From: https://news.yahoo.com/zelensky-assassination-plot-foiled-ukrainian-225404968.html

Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council chief Oleksiy Danilov announced during a briefing Tuesday that Ukrainian forces had foiled an assassination plot against President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to a Telegram post from Ukrainian authorities.

Why it matters: Zelensky has said since the start of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine that he would be a prime target for assassination. Last Thursday, he warned that Russian "sabotage groups" had entered Kyiv and were hunting for him and his family.

The big picture: According to the Telegram message, Danilov said that a unit of elite Chechen special forces, known as Kadyrovites, had been behind the plot and had subsequently been "eliminated." "We are well aware of the special operation that was to take place directly by the Kadyrovites to eliminate our president," Danilov said, per the post.

Ukrainian authorities had been tipped off about the plot by members of Russia's Federal Security Service who do not support the war, he added. Danilov elaborated that the Kadyrovite group had been divided into two, with one being destroyed in Gostomel and the other "under fire."

I believe this was posted in the past few days here on DU.

It pretty much tipped their hand about how the decision to invade was made, how the war would be fought, and how they were going to be greeted with flowers by a grateful population once the neo Nazis were gone.

Yeah, right.

This reminds me of so many of the insane things this country has done, most of them because rich colonialists were frightened of reform governments, no matter how tepid. Washington believed the lies and reacted to the panic and our record of military intervention has been pretty shameful.

Still, this would be like invading Canada, something we haven't done since the War of 1812.

Will he double down on the big lie thinking he can lead this country with a iron fist better than Putler did in Russia?
Or will he finally STFU and decide he doesn't want a target on his back and slither into history?
