A circular firing squad is forming in the Kremlin, with everyone pointing their guns at each other: Vladimir Putin's regime looks under serious threat for the first time since he came to power, writes Professor MARK GALEOTTI
Western counter-intelligence campaigns are being aimed at the secretive FSB In Russia, anyone can be denounced as a warmonger or a traitor, or even both
Putin has been picking off key figures in the secret police, the FSB, and politicians in a bid to retain his hold on power as the war continues
When the demonic despot Joseph Stalin suffered a severe stroke at his country estate outside Moscow in March 1953, his four closest cronies rushed to the scene.
None of them, all candidates to succeed the dictator as leader of the Soviet Union, wanted to see Stalin live. But all were afraid of what might happen if he died.
Eventually, the secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria spoke up: ‘Why are you in such a panic? Can’t you see, Comrade Stalin is sleeping soundly. Don’t disturb him!’
No doctor was summoned for hours. Stalin kept sinking and died a few days later.
With a similar miasma of indecision gripping Vladimir Putin’s inner circle today, his regime looks under serious threat for the first time since he came to power in 2000.

Just happy that Pooty forced Markie to take a break from showering with his daughters and granddaughters [see PedoJoe accusations] long enough to write this hitpiece...
Pooty Poot what have you done !!!!!
With your case of long Covid making you brain damaged, your senile delusions, that you strived to be the 21st century Tsar. The biggest Tsar the Russians had ever seen. But with all the Ukie Resistance you end up looking like a sad sack, a depressive buffoon. The EU and American sanctions are killing your plan for a great Russia run by a Tsar.
DIE hard and die soon Pooty. You will be deposed with months.
He may go Samson if pushed to the wall.
In a nuclear war, the US and the Soviet Union had two different outlooks for survivability. The US concluded that it wasn’t survivable.
The USSR, in the other hand, concluded that it was, “survivable”.
This is the battle of the seniles. Senile Pooty will be gone, deposed within 5 months, while senile Joe will be left standing.
In the history books Pooty will be known as the Russian version of Nicolae Ceaușescu, with Pooty meeting the same bloody end. Gunned down in an underground tunnel.
“He may go Samson if pushed to the wall.”
His army turns out to be a paper tiger. Pooty is the same. There will be cooler heads in the Kremlin that will keep Pooty away from the nuclear button. We have to hope this is true.
If Pooty prevails in Ukraine, then China moving on Taiwan will be next. Give Pooty a good spanking, then CCP becomes more hesitant about a Taiwan invasion to cut off TSMC and the world’s chip supplies.
Isn’t that the definition of a circular firing squad?
What happened to the Russian military is running out of gas, weapons, etc, 3 weeks ago?
Whom are the sources that supplied this “info” for this DM piece?
Obviously the good Professor has connections with Communists in Russia and that’s how he’s getting this “info.” 🤣
all propaganda all day.
Don’t believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.
I wonder if the good professor supplied the DM the info on the “Ghost of Kiev,” Snake Island, and/or supplied Rachel Maddow with info for 4 plus years about Russia?
Get rid of Medvedev and lyin’ Lavrov at the same time as Putin.
LOL. Keep on disseminating true information. Interfere in Kremlin politics.
This is war propaganda
Fire at Will!
And not just Will - fire at everyone!
This site has proven time and again that it can’t be trusted for war news.
