First thing I want to say is that so far, other than those two sites I posted no one has said anything about this incident. I am waiting for more confirmation.
But, I will share my take on it that I privately sent to another freeper.
“First, absolutely the Pentagon and the CIA are not on the same playbook.
Second, there is no way Mi6 did this without the knowledge and approval of the CIA
And, yes, the Pentagon; but not the CIA, did work through General Z....they were making military strategy. That’s not the Spooks job...:-)
So this morning the Pentagon will be pissed as hell; but still powerless because they are NOT in the policy making loop.
So now what are the repercussions to this? If General Z did not feel he had the power to stage a coup, it is hard to think those under him would. So it seems likely that the Ukrainian military will fall in line and do exactly what they are ordered.
BTW, just as an aside...one of the insider posts from a few days ago related the telephone fight between Z and Z, then ended it by saying he would follow Zelensky’s orders and then according to the OP insider the General said he was just going to privately retreat his troops. And he must have to some degree because they started making a beeline to get the hell out of Sever......:-)
As another aside, according to that same insider OP source Zelensky made it clear he would eventually be firing General Z or trying him for crimes for not providing the proper gear for the troops which of course was BS because it was the OP office that STOLE all the gear the West provided and then sold it. General Z got Zelensky in a lot of trouble by telling the Pentagon about all of this and Zelensky was determined he would pay.”
So we wait to see if that report was accurate; but based on the known situation between Z and Z it certainly could be.
Thanks
