Putin Is Preparing to Flee When Russia Implodes, Ex-Aide Says (to Venezuela)
Daily Beast ^ | Dec. 07 | Allison Quinn

“The leader’s entourage has not ruled out that he will lose the war, be stripped of power, and have to urgently evacuate somewhere.”

Putin’s inner circle first considered a plan to evacuate to China, Gallyamov said, but later thought better of it, fearing the chances of “cooperation” from the Chinese were slim, especially since they despise “losers.” Now, he said, the focus has shifted to either Argentina or Venezuela, with Putin ally Igor Sechin currently overseeing an evacuation plan for the latter country.

The plan is so far along, Gallyamov said, that Sechin’s “right-hand man” at Rosneft “formally resigned” from the oil giant to handle “on-site work.”

Citing two sources close to the presidential administration and a source in Rosneft, the Telegram channel Mozhem Obyasnit also reports that high-ranking officials have already begun buying up real estate and working on getting residency rights in Venezuela. Those lower-ranking in the presidential administration and Russian government are seeking residency in Ecuador, Paraguay, and Argentina, according to that report.

In particular, a source was quoted saying, Russian officials have snatched up property on Venezuela’s Margarita Island, where they are confident they’ll be safe from extradition.

“The island of Margarita in Venezuela is their local Courchevel,” the source was quoted saying, comparing the would-be Kremlin hideout to the famous French Alps ski resort.

Conceding that he had no further details, Gallyamov said the sheer fact of an evacuation plan “is enough to understand” that “when they say ‘everything is going according to plan,’ it’s worth asking which one. They seem to have many more than one plan.”

We were told putin’s war against Ukraine would take three days. Then it was 10 days. We’re in the 9th month now.

Clearly, putin miscalculated. He would be a fool not to have an escape plan, even if he still mistakenly thinks he will win.

If BAKHMUT FALLS it is rumored that ZELENSKY WILL FLEE TO THE VATICAN and be granted sanctuary as long as he moves his billions to the Vatican bank. Any validity to that rumor? It doesn’t seem any more far fetched than the rumor of Putin fleeing to Venezuela.

“I lived under russian occupation myself, I don’t need it explained to me.”

Sorry, didn’t realize you were Russian. Here in the US, I have to live under ‘American’ occupation (mostly DNC types).

I guess we all have to live under some government.

If Russia gets forced back to the February 24 border or loses Crimea, Putin has no safe haven. Russia is not kind to leaders who lose.

Biden n co must have control of Russian resources to pull off their green deal. This requires the regime change Biden let slip. Can’t have a pesky nationalist who would demand market value for Russian resources. Putin is a bad guy, but just who do you think the+globalists will install. Maybe he will be a dancing marionette like zelensky.. ready to sacrifice as many countrymen as needed in exchange for the strings he is attached to.

Didn’t say I was russian. I said they occupied and ravaged the country I was born in. I escaped them to the USA, and watching fellow Americans cheer for them while they try to subjugate another nation is disgusting and disheartening.

They’re fighting because they do understand the West

Best thing for Russia is Putin bolting. Then, FINALLY, the people who understand the West will take power, and they will simply do what’s needed to fully liberate Ukraine and end that problem. So, hopefully, this story is accurate.

It probably is true!!!

[ I lived under russian occupation myself, I don’t need it explained to me.]

And it was awesome right? According to the russiaphiles here on FR, living under russian rule is the best thing since the Mongol invasion.
