Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Mike McFaul on Monday weighed in on the possibility of a coup from Russia’s military leaders and those closest to Russian President Vladimir Putin in response to the ramped-up aggression toward Ukraine.
McFaul told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Putin has been “isolated forever” and “doesn’t have people around him that he listens to.” He advised that for the first time ever with Putin leading Russia, people are hoping there would be a coup to stop him and remove him from power.

My worry is what if it’s tried and fails.
So, somebody who worked for Obama chimes in.
Not so sure I would take anything he has to say as helpful.
We could use a coup in America right now.
People can’t you see the PsyOps that is going on here? This is the same way they talked about Trump at times when he was in office.
The reason the media is in hyper pro-Ukraine propaganda mode is to create the association of Trump/Putin as the same type of person. Then anyone associated with Trump is also guilty. Throw in some ‘white nationalism” and your off and running with the reason they need to end the filibuster and take over elections. Then it is game over for the middle class.
Republicans are so damn stupid to be falling for this. It’s just like COVID shutdowns again. I am amazed that so many people on FR suddenly trust everything the MSM and the Democrats are telling them. It’s like a woman that stays with an abusive boyfriend.
Sorry, should be ‘you’re off and running”
The Goal of The State Department (and Vindman, Biden Crime Family, Hillary, Romney, Sean Penn, Soros, etc.) is removal of Putin.
And he knows it. Which is a big mistake. All or nothing.
Putin cornered is extremely dangerous. Would he use nukes?
He well might.
Will all the Ukraine shills here cheer that, too?
It is insane. They are playing with fire.
No. It will not happen.

Very old saying - “If you set out to kill the king DO NOT MISS.”
Allowing Russia to profit from oil/gas sales isn’t going to help.
Putin is completely, 100% committed to Russia’s well being, which necessarily requires total disinterest in the preferences of opposing countries.
Why would anyone think a replacement for him would be in any way less committed to Russia’s well being and willing to sacrifice it for the preferences of opposing countries?
Does he mean a coup like traitor Vindman and other Democrats tried on President Trump?
You have to admire the Democrats for saying with such straight faces, what directly applies to them. Here is Biden living in his basement, and they come out with this.
Very old saying - “If you set out to kill the king DO NOT MISS.”
TRUE DAT!!
Anything from an old OBuggery apparachnick needs to be dismissed.
“People can’t you see the PsyOps that is going on here?”
There is a hot war in Ukraine in what looks like any other EU city. Not the shitty parts of Ukraine to the east, Syria catbox or shipping port crimea to the south.
The rest of the world is 3 generations of economic systems in front of Russia. China just said leave us out of this one, we got exports to sell for EU and US dollars.
Sweden and Finland are making NATO overtures unprompted because they are tired of Putin’s threats to a peaceful world. They have perfectly good militaries that do have anti air assets. Putin made a war in the only place left to him....that is weak. He has one asset left and the second he uses it is gone. The US and british navy did not stand down from the cold war, Putin has 99 large scale problems keeping power now.
The only operation is that of Putin keeping the soviet union
alive in his head. It is dead, gone, forever. He and his ilk lost to the west in 2000 when he was a rookie. Poland is NATO and EU economy, The baltics, are NATO, Ukraine, Finland, Norway, Sweden are EU and NATO. Stop being a bitch Putin, go enjoy your stolen wealth and sit the rest of your life out of international relations.
Canada and United States are beyond all but one reach of the russians. We know the west does sound like “Go for it Brah.” because outside a decaying nuclear triad that is one shot and done, russia got nothing but oil.
Let’s hope so.
“We could use a coup in America right now.”
We had one in Nov 2020. We are now a captured operation and Washington DC is occupied by a belligerent foreign controlled force. Remember that when the military steps in very soon to remove them and a bunch of sleepers er creepers start crying unconstitutional. 😏
“Hopefully someone has the balls to do it”
In case they miss and Putin starts lobbing nukes, here’s some advice from ready.gov on what to do.....
“If you are sick or injured, listen for instructions on how and where to get medical attention when authorities tell you it is safe to exit.
If you are sick and need medical attention, contact your healthcare provider for instructions. If you are at a public shelter, immediately notify the staff at that facility so they can call a local hospital or clinic.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 9-1-1 and let the operator know if you have, or think you might have, COVID-19. If you can, put on a mask before help arrives.
Engage virtually with your community through video and phone calls. Know that it’s normal to feel anxious or stressed.
Take care of your body and talk to someone if you are feeling upset.
Many people may already feel fear and anxiety about the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). The threat of a nuclear explosion can add additional stress.
Follow CDC guidance for managing stress during a traumatic event and managing stress during COVID-19.”
Please bear in mind that they believe you’re going to have phone and internet after the attack. We’re paying good money for this.
