Putin has made big changes in his personnel. He is trying to make himself coup-proof.
I still wait for when Putin drops the “Hunter Biden” bomb to change the “Biden” regime. He would have to sell it to anticipate that our corrupt media would call it Russian Disinformation, but he probably has a great number of our media on the Russian payroll. He has to feel betrayed, because this is not the deal that he and Biden worked out, and by him call for his ouster, payback is a bitch.
