⚡️Ukraine’s military intelligence claim that Russia’s elites scheme to overthrow Putin to restore economic ties with Western countries.

Aleksandr Bortnikov, head of FSB security agency, is allegedly being considered as Putin’s successor, according to Ukraine's intelligence.

1. Alrighty then . . .

put doubt in the Russia and put notice to Putin that his days are numbered, be it true or not . ...

Two can play that game.

3. The question is..

whether Putin is so far gone that he doesn't recognize his very own techniques coming back at him.

(by the way, this technique was beautifully depicted more than 50 years ago in "The Prisoner" episode titled "Hammer Into Anvil". That one in particular grabbed me as a youngster and has stayed with me all these years).

16. Film or Book? I missed this I think.

but sounds interesting...

20. TV show.

Classic dystopian, with some surreal elements. (Still don't like the ending. Might have to binge watch it to see if I missed something.)

But many of the episodes are absolute anti-authoritarian classics. One of the few shows I might actually buy and keep on disk. Apart from the finale (which is too "Casino Royale-ish" for my liking).

21. Interesting.

Must have been on the air when I refused to own a tv..

that lasted for only about a decade, I gave in when my daughter whined about not being able to see the shows all her friends watched, especially the debut of MTV.

Any who, I wonder if it's available on line... i'll have a looksie.

2. Fanning the flames of distrust

Clearly this type of information will not quiet Putin's paranoia.

8. Yup, this could be war propaganda from Ukraine. We can hope this will happen. Propaganda is

an important war tool.

4. Not surprising. He's been in power 22 years and he comes up with this atrocity.

Russians want normality and relationships with the rest of the world. Especially the elite and oligarchs who are losing big money.

That much power for that long creates a Dunning-Kruger effect on steroids.

5. TMI...whatever happened to covert operations?

[Irish_Dem]

10. This is being made public for a reason.

Trying to undermine Putin.

11. psychops

12. Psyops,

it's designed to add to Daddy Vladdy's paranoia of his staff, advisors, military, etc..

[sky_masterson]

6. Bortnikov will fall out of a window by tuesday

You know I'm right

[Baitball Blogger]

14. +1

[ck4829]

7. Yep

[Sanity Claws]

9. Nice psyops, whether or not it is true

It is enough to make the paranoid Putin even more paranoid and scream, "Off with their heads!"

[Turbineguy]

13. Well that's just great.

I wonder if Hitler would have gone to that meeting had he known Count Von Stauffenberg was carrying a bomb.

[mahina]

15. How awkward to be faced with a reality of the situation

And have such a struggle to Find collaborators in that environment. Nobody could overthrow him alone.

[bluedigger]

17. Putting another FSB guy in charge does not instill confidence...

[dalton99a]

18. Bortnikov probably has his own food taster

FSB head Aleksandr Bortnikov

[Ilsa]

19. Shit. Another paranoid FSB sonofabitch.

Why not elect someone interested in creating a free, democratic society?
