But they have the guns and all they need is the right leader. My money would be on General Gerasimov.

Vladimir Putin may be forced to give up control of the war in Ukraine for days as he is set for cancer surgery, a 'Kremlin insider' has claimed.
The Russian dictator will reportedly nominate hardline Security Council head and ex-FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev to take control of the invasion while he is under the knife.
Shadowy Patrushev, 70, is seen as a key architect of the war strategy so far - and the man who convinced Putin that Kyiv is awash with neo-Nazis.
General SVR reported that Putin has abdominal cancer and Parkinson's 18 months ago.

He has reportedly delayed surgery, which will now not take place before the Victory Day commemoration of Russia's World War Two victory in Red Square on May 9.
The news comes amid speculation Putin will launch an all-out war across Ukraine and order mass mobilisation of military-age men, a considerable political risk.
The surgery had been scheduled for the second half of April but was delayed, SVR claimed.
'Putin was recommended to undergo surgery, the date of which is being discussed and agreed,' the outlet stated.

Speaking of runts...where is Zelensky this weekend?
At which one of Kolomoisky’s mansions? Or is he on the yacht?
Of course we will see doctored photos of the punk standing bravely in the Main Square in Kiev!
Looks more like he’s constipated, rather than knocking on death’s door.
The Army is weak in Russia. So it’ll be somebody from FSB.
Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh!
Thanks for taking the time to really trash FR
Russia and Ukraine have been at war on and off for centuries.
But they have the guns and all they need is the right leader. My money would be on General Gerasimov.
He looks really mean!
Watch out, little Zel. 😜😱🙀
Just like in today’s US military, the more medals these senior officers wear, the more unserious and incompetent they are.

Putin will eventually be replaced. The manic frothing at the mouth concerning Russia from Biden and the West doesn’t strengthen the hand of any moderate types in Russia.
Zelensky is busy listening to Klaus Scwab’s and Soros’ instructions on what to do next.
I pity the person taking over. He will be the fall guy for this entire mess.
But, all things considered, couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
I donno about that picture, maximus.
Looks to me like he’s just squeezing one off...Un-Biden-like.
I don’t see this guy having enough support to stay in power.
Most likely the moment Putin is out, the rest do a beria on the FSB chief
How'd you like to be the surgeon after being told, "hey Ivan, you're going to do surgery on Vladdy."
He actually looks like a man. He doesn’t have Pink hair, false eyelashes and lipstick like our current crop of military leaders.
I suppose that makes him look mean.
Anyone keeping track of what types of cancer Puitn has? I’ve seen claims of spinal, thyroid, and now abdominal cancer.
I hope his surgeon is Ukrainian.
“I hope he finds God before he dies because right now he is probably headed down to join the likes of Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro.”
Maybe if we all pray for him, he can have a Saul on the road to Damascus experience.
