Will the Russian Generals turn on Putin?

[Stuart G]

Things have not gone well for the ..."invasion"..(.Almost 2 weeks into invasion)...almost..

I suspect the generals did not expect this kind of .."response" ...I think by now, the generals thought it would be ....
................over....................and over.....and done with....

Lots of soldiers killed. More to come....incredible unexpected resistance.

......................... Any ideas about the Generals turning on Putin?................(as said before, anything can happen)

2. I'm wondering how many soldiers will turn on

their commanders. At some point, once you realize you’re not getting out alive, taking the asshole who brought you could seem like a pretty fine idea.

6. On that matter, I note with amusement...

…the proposal to force those arrested for protesting the war to immediately serve on the front lines.

It seems to me that taking several thousand anti-war activists, giving them weapons, and sending them to Ukraine might not be the best idea for Pootie Poot’s invasion.

10. They can all take advantage of intl. IT community-funded offer of $47k to surrender

& receive assylum.

The IT community does not want putin controlling the neon world supply (Ukraine!), essential for chip mfg.

This is what he is after.

So long as the soldiers have not commited war crimes, all are eligible.

3. doubt it.....

The military may revolt, but it will revolt against the generals and not putin. Just a guess, but 30 years is a long time, and any old guard are likely gone.

All that will be left in the upper echelons will be loyalists and toadies. Think of what would happen if tfg were in place for 3 decades. There wouldn't be a guardrail or anything approaching disapproval from that crowd. They are in on the take. They are in on the delusions. They will blame anyone but themselves or dear leader.

They won't turn on putin.

The army will walk home before the generals acknowledge there is a problem.

7. I don't recall Russian generals ever being embarrassed by high casualties.

8. Even if they don't turn of Putin, Putin will turn on them

Putin will blame them all for his totally botched invasion.

So those Russian Generals should ask themselves, who will be executed first? Putin or them?

9. I've often thought Putin would have some leverage

He likely has access to family members.
