Putin flew to Sochi last night with multiple decoys. He didn’t fly on his normal plane last night, either. His regular planes were the ones sent to St Petersburg today. He left about the same time Lukashenko did.
We have our own “Wagner Group” of criminals which overthrew a government. They are called the upper echelons of the “FBI”.
I’ve seen some photos of Putin’s palace, which resembles the palace at Versailles. The cost is estimated at over a billion dollars. It was built by one of his lackey and presented to him as a “gift.” Is that where he went? It is believed to be as well defended as a missile base with the latest antiaircraft and rocket technology and plenty of palace guards. A substantial portion is underground. If his plan is to go to ground until this blows over it’s probably a bad plan. His best bet if he thinks he is about to be deposed is to make a deal with “The Big Guy.” Frankly, I think he’s likely to have the same psychology as Hitler or any other leader about to be deposed. Apparently, he was terrified of having what happened to Kadafi happen to him.
