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.

I remember all the lame stream media used “ he is isolated with the walls closing in” on Trump. To me that is BS. Putin is becoming more isolated internationally but at home he probably has all the yes men supporting him!

Russia is feeding China oil, China will feed Russia. Not hard to figure out, China s using Russia in Ukraine to get the water temperature of China jumping into Taiwan.

But he says he’s familiar with Putin’s thinking and feeds my confirmation bias!

In other words: “Putin stopped letting the West steal all of their resources. We want to pillage the country again.”

"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."

Exercise caution when making wishes. McFaul was comrade obama's ambassador to Russia (2012-1014)

I’ve been watching it, too.

Like the stupid virus has jumped from silicon to carbon, infecting FR users.

It’s pathetic.

Washington DC is occupied by a belligerent foreign controlled force.

I thought you said it was a ghost town.
