Christopher Steele, who was a member of the British secret service for over two decades and led MI6 operations in Russia from 2006-2009, said Putin will never be accepted back into the international community and his regime will ultimately collapse as a result.
'I don't see him surviving this in the long term. I think we've gone over a watershed here,' Steele declared in an interview with Sky News Thursday evening.
'An operation on this scale is really beyond Russia... I think there are several gross miscalculations here by Putin.'
It comes as a Russian assault on Kyiv was repelled earlier today by Ukrainian forces who successfully pushed back the invaders' advances towards the capital from the west and east, inflicting heavy losses with an artillery ambush of Russian armour outside Brovary, east of the capital, and killing a high-ranking commander in the process.
But Steele warned that the slow progress of Russian troops thus far could result in Putin ordering more violence and 'indiscriminate killings' in the short-term Steele went on to explain that Putin's dictatorial leadership style may contribute to his eventual downfall, reasoning that as regular Russian citizens and oligarchs alike see sanctions bite, the likelihood of his deposition increases.
'One of the problems is, when you run an authoritarian regime like he does and you don't welcome criticism or debates within the leadership, then you end up with bad advice and hearing the things you want to hear from your advisors.
'As people's living standards start to fall, they will be increased protests on the streets of Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities. And I think that will play in to probably an elite attempt to remove Putin in due course

I don’t have a middle finger big enough for this guy.
This guy is no James Bond. More like inspector Cluseau.
After all we have been through due to the “Steele Dossier”, why should we believe anything coming from this guy?
My motto is: I don’t listen to anyone I don’t trust—and I don’t trust very many people!

Vindman’s Brother tweeted re/tweeted this week:
“The convergence between Trump grassroots and Putin grassroots propaganda is nearly complete”
This effort is viewed as equally against Trump and Putin by the Dems. It’s right there.

Strzok is part of the whole Putin and Trump have to go down, too…
He’s Tweeting daily, and DoD accounts are retweeting his Trump attacks.

Steele is deep state slime. Just invert everything he says and you’ll be closer to the truth.
Christopher Steele. Opinions discarded.
The Vindman brothers should be hanged as traitors.
This guy has scads of credibility from his Trump/Russia collusion dossier....../s
Not better, no worse than ALL the Western disinfo media outlets (including the Fox liars) and the US State Department and White House.
This allegation by a known criminal and lying spook, convinces me, together with Victoria Nuland’s testimony this week, that since Ukraine supposedly does not have bioweapons, and Russia does, if one is released, the US secret police intelligence bureaus and spy networks will be the ones to make that release happen, and they will blame it on the Russians.
This means Ukraine is toast.
Isn’t Steele that far left c$%&#S@#$#@# who tried to help the ‘RATS overthrow our president? F*** him.
I guess now we know what the bar talk is.

“said Putin will never be accepted back into the international community”
“Accepted back”? He never was accepted no matter how many hands of friendship he offered. That is because he chased out the Soros bankers, started rebuilding Churches, and supported rules against globohomo.
That is why we are having this strife today.
Why is he still walking around fee
Daily Mail has returned to their tabloid roots.
I love the daily mail, I know they were recently sold, but the journalistic integrity is still Better than most any source you can name
