Russia's Elite Want Putin Out, Successor in Mind: Ukraine Intel Chief
MSN ^ | 3.20.2022 | Thomas Kika

..The post boldly begins with, "Poisoning, sudden disease, accident—Russian elite considers the possibility of removing Putin."

"In the environment of the Russian business and political elite, a group of influential persons opposing [Vladimir Putin] is formed," the post reads. "Their goal is to remove Putin from power as soon as possible and restore economic ties with the West, destroyed due to the war in Ukraine."

The alleged group is not only planning to potentially assassinate Putin, the post claims, it has also decided on a potential successor: Alexander Bortnikov, who currently serves as Russia's Federal Security Service director, and headed up the analysis of the Ukrainian population and military capabilities ahead of the recent invasion.

The Chief Directorate claims that Putin and Bortkinov have recently had a falling out, with the Russian president blaming his subordinate for the country's difficulties in taking over Ukraine. Bortkinov is now reportedly working with the group of Russian elites in devising potential ways to remove Putin.

"It is Bortnikov who has recently fallen out of favor with the Russian dictator," the post alleges. "The official reason for the FSS leader's downfall is fatal miscalculations in the war against Ukraine. It was Bortnikov and his department who were responsible for analyzing the views of the Ukrainian population and the capacity of the Ukrainian army."

CIA is obsessed with toppling heads of state

They've been doing that for decades in South America and Africa mostly..
But then Putin is an ex KGB officer.
He knows what there is to know about the CIA. And how to handle the CIA slimy creeps.

I bet things are going on against Putin, but what gets him will probably be from a more discrete source. You don’t put serious plots on Facebook!

And here comes Regime Change, the central tenant of Neoconservatives.

from the farticle: "Their goal is to remove Putin from power as soon as possible and restore economic ties with the West, destroyed due to the war in Ukraine."

These statements are totally believable.

Why would the head a spy agency lie?

No, they're just using the tools at their disposal.

They're gonna win, no matter what. What are we gonna do? Trump lost Georgia. Frickin' Georgia!?

And there are some posters on this site who will say there was no fraud.

At this point, they're just mocking us.

Don’t y’all understand?!

This is what Trump was going to do!

That’s why we need to stop Trump! Otherwise he’ll invade Mexico like Putin! So we need to pass a law so tyrants like Trump can’t run again. - liz Cheney in about 3 weeks.

It’s coming...

Russia wasn’t on the Soros plantation. Gotta get those Russkies all schooled up about chicks with dicks and stuff, how to play hide the sausage with men correctly etc. Like a country that has produced some of the finest minds in human history needs re-imaging by western freaks

There’s a guy on YouTube whose subject is airlines. According to him, Russia has seized airliners in Russia that are leased from western, boycotting nations. No doubt retaliation for EU/USA/ seizure of Aeroflot planes on the ground. Problem is, the seized aircraft in Russia will no longer get technical support necessary to allow them to be flown outside of Russia. And there will be no spare parts available, unless you count Chinese or Russian knockoffs as ‘spare parts’.

And will any western source lease aircraft to Russia any time soon? And this is just one industry.

Please let this be real. Just remember the old saying: “when you strike at a king, you must kill him.”

NO!

End of story for him.

The man to bring in and be best would be the Grand Duke.
Re-install the monarchy in Russia and then form a constitutional form of government under the monarchy.

Lots of reasons for this and one of the chief reasons is that the Orthodox church has proclaimed him as the next in line for Tsar. One other reason is that the Russian people are not capable of electing a valid reliable trustworthy leader. One other reason would be that Putin would be set aside becuase he would lose the backing of the church.

Keep in mind that under the last Tsar, before WW1, Russia’s economy was starting to turn around.

BTW, I hear today, that the UK has started moving its nuclear warheads into positions. If true, we are now most likely under the perception of threats. If someone perceives a threat, they will send them.

Its close.

They probably did! OK, depends on what you mean by “intentional” and how close they actually got. They are shooting stuff off all over the place, and much of it seems random. Those MLRS systems aren’t very accurate, they are area weapons.
