Putin’s elite is preparing a coup d’état to prevent a nuclear war — media
Journalists write that if Putin decides to use nuclear weapons, a mutiny is likely to be expected from high-ranking officers. As a result, the head of the Kremlin will resign or die.
Of course, it is unlikely that the Russian military elite will allow President Volodymyr Putin to resort to nuclear weapons in the war against Ukraine, which he will lose, The Mirror reports, citing unnamed sources.
Journalists quote the words of a high-ranking expert from Great Britain, who advised the government on issues related to the Russian Federation, and write that the head of the Kremlin can be overthrown if he insists on a nuclear strike.
“A military coup is the most likely outcome of Putin’s regime,” the source explained.
It is reported that, according to the Kremlin elite, nuclear threats from the Russian Federation are now working against the West, however, if Putin orders the use of nuclear weapons, a mutiny should be expected from high-ranking officers, all things considered. As a result, Putin will resign or die.
“Faced with Putin’s recklessness and the need to prevent a nuclear strike, the military is likely to stage a coup to oust him,” the source said.
The second group from which active actions can be expected are employees of the administration of the President of the Russian Federation, former spies of the KGB, and military personnel led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, who heads the “Wagner” PMC. But now Putin’s entourage believes that nuclear rhetoric is their goal.
The so-called “cook” of Putin, 61-year-old Prigozhin, is seen as the most likely successor to the head of the Russian state.
Among the other possible options for the development of events are the uprising of the masses, riots, secession of the regions of Siberia, the Far East, and the North.
Military analysts also believe that Putin may be planning intelligence attacks on Western infrastructure similar to those that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
Russia expert Bruce Jones believes that Russia has even greater opportunities to conduct such secret operations than to wage a large-scale war in Ukraine.
We will remind that Putin talked about the uprising in Russia and the strong hand of the state. Journalists believe that the Russian president is now in the most difficult situation for the entire time of his power, as Russian troops are suffering losses in Ukraine.
