"Putin doesnt fear a coup by oligarchs. But he should fear his fellow spies...The real threat to Putin comes from the siloviki, a Russian word used loosely to describe Russias security and military elite...
FSB officers are skilled at working clandestinely, keeping their most sensitive operations strictly compartmented to small groups...Like branches of an old tree, the kleptocratic autocracy in the Kremlin can withstand the occasional storm, but if the trunk is rotting, the siloviki will take action."

(9,083 posts)Are they going to wind up with another wannabe? Russians are rusty at anything but dictatorship. It would appear.

I was wrong. It was about the host, not the virus.

(10,039 posts)He previously wanted 40 feet between them but I wonder if now he may only have zoom calls with them???? There has been speculation that he has left Russia and is with his mistress and kids in Switzerland, I have no idea if that is true. It would seem it might be difficult to get to him. I am sure he has a food taster, likely the chef that cooks for him.

(1,182 posts)like there he is, a black hole encircled by a great emptiness, while a lethal ray spews from his pie hole. Edict this. Edict that. And just death, death, death, in all directions.
I mean, is Russia really even a country anymore?
And why am I worrying so much that this is just the beginning?
Do we really even need to have nations anymore? They seem so... obsolete. Who runs the world now? Which group of thugs now holds all the cards?
The multinational incorporation of all planetary life now leaps to its next phase, eliminating competition, consolidating more power.
The commodification of all planetary resources yearns for self-completion. One world, with all "human capital" integrated into its insatiable quest for total control. (This is the "talk" going on over at Alex Jones, etc., btw)
Just have to murder a billion more people or so, to keep the motors tuned and running...
Power! We need more power!

(4,549 posts)Same sh~t, different dictator? Maybe a figurehead plus oligarchy? Given an alleged 60% approval amidst state-run media (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_image_of_Vladimir_Putin), I think there are vested interests to keep the show running there.

(8,674 posts)The one with trump in the Oval Office. The one yesterday saying the maternity hospital was a soldier hide out. Im starting to get all the Russian murderers names confused. Anyone that get will control our GQP. Except the coin of their realm will not buy much, maybe a few Cawthorns, Bimbo Boebertss. Not sure they can afford Fox.
