Putin Coup-in? Russian Coup?

Unsigned?

I'm also recalling October 4, 1993, when Russian President Boris Yeltsin ordered tanks to fire on the parliament building, but that can be said to be part of the 1991 transition still. The J6 terrorists are sure being exposed for being laughable lightweights and losers.

As I said in the Ukraine thread, this could have huge implications on the Ukrainian battlefield. I hope Ukraine is poised to take full advantage. Fingers crossed.

Go Joltin' Joe Go? We'll see.

If fascist dictator Putin falls will the cons give Biden the same credit they give Reagan for toppling communism?

That's a little creepy.

No, but Joe can make some killer ads out of the comparison.

Worth posting the full text:

If Putin and the Kremlin falls, Ukraine prevails, and Political prisoners like Navalny are freed, will all of the people who were against sending money to Ukraine change their tune?

Defeating Putin as he tried to take over an ally, without sending US troops or losing a single US life would likely go down in history as one of the best military strategies in American history.

Will people admit that or just continue to attack Biden and continue to make outlandish claims that the US is somehow involved in a money laundering scheme?

The comments are pretty negative.

The comments are pretty negative.

Putting the cart way before the horse begs the question of what happens to Russia if Putin does fall.

I think everyone is clueless.

[GoCubsGo]

True.

[GoCubsGo]

Ummm...

[O Really]

Looks like Putin never read the story about the scorpion and the frog.
Ironically, it seems to have originally been a Russian fable.

Coups over. We all just got geopolitically blue balled. But maybe that's a good thing? Who knows. Weird scenario.

[GoCubsGo]

Thinking this whole thing was nothing but a shakedown.

[Whack9]

Really strange. Be interesting to see how it pans out.

I think Putin has been weakened bigly, can't see how he'll recover.


Zelensky takes swipe at Putin after Wagner mutiny 'exposes chaos' in Russia

"geopolitically blue balled" - Funny!

How Putin defenders among the US right reacted to the Wagner mutiny

Predictable whiny stupidity from the pro-Putin wing of the GQP . Most notable to me is that anyone still considers MadCaw to be relevant.

... Rep. Madison Cawthorn, a Republican from North Carolina, shared a video on Twitter in which a man suggested that Putin was, in fact, pulling the strings of the Wagner coup as he wanted to get rid of Russian military leadership.

It's FORMER Rep. and he's from FLORIDA!

He simply wrote, "Interesting." It is not clear in this theory why Putin would not have just fired military leaders himself without Prigozhin's open challenge to his authority.

Duh.
