Five Reasons Why a Coup Hasn't Ousted Putin Yet 

The coup won't be from within, it will come as a general revolt and mob actions....IMHO

⁹ù

It is an actual fact now that many of the generals were sen to the frontlines from the russian side and were killed. There are proofs and everything

O

Don't you worry Russian people, Putin is coming to surrender to Ukraine. So Russian people if you really want peace let your President Putin lose, but pay the consequence made by him. Then the peace seeker people of Russia will flourish here on earth..and not the bad ambitious man..

Still not clear why there would be a coup at all. Russia’s been doing well since the invasion started.

the problem is how weak the west is!

No men in russia

And Russian specialty is counter intelligence and anti-dissent.

One decent human with a gun will do it eventually. Like putting down a rabid dog.

It is very clear that Russian government thinking even today is really still medieval in style. Which is why I thought back in Feb 'he will not really do it' I was thinking of 21st century politics and society.

Beria was a evil fuck who was hated by practically everyone in the high command and only managed to avoid death due to him running the NKDV

Id say medieval-esque but don't forget that Russia is quite literally a Mafia state in practicality operating under the disguise of a (exaggerated finger quotes) "democratic society" and truth be told.. for all intents and purposes so long as nobody rocks the boat, it works mostly fine for them. (Cheesy Russian accent) "Why break what works dah?" In truth it's difficult for us in the west to really understand Russia, her people, and how they function practically and internally. While we arguably have similar goals and values how we approach them is clearly different. I respect Putin, though I don't hold a particularly high opinion of the man I see him as many things. A Glue that's quite effective at holding a nation that's in many ways still broken from the collapse of their generations long civilization. A Dictator who uses whatever means he sees fit or justifiable to achieve his goals. And a stone cold gangster (in a cool kind of way) that's very different from our western leaders who amount to typically boring virtue signalling sacks of crap. Putins a ... do the thing kinda guy. A Man's man, an everyman. Someone you can relate to.. and he takes alot of effort to either maintain that persona.. or he just likes being the guy that young Russian kids can look up to as an example of strong leadership that actually sees the people he "leads" whether that's factually accurate or not.. the image and persona still exist. For a guy who's shorter than me he's larger than life in alot of aspects. And I can respect him for some self evident reasons. 1. hes a head of a nuclear power 2. He's absolutely NOT a bullshitter. 3. He believes what he says because he's willing to act on it even if he doesn't like it. I'm certain he's no desire for Nuclear engagement. But nonetheless he'll do, exactly andnwhatever he feels he must do.. to protect Russia and her people. Whether or not we agree is irrelevant and I can respect those three things. Especially considering the last several administration's we've had. Lies. Big talk. Very little walk and a metric fuck ton of virtue to be signaled about how we're so great and special and wonderful while we commit war crimes and exploit the nations we CLAIM to call friends. Wete basically pricks. And everyone hates us for it. But in some cases.. it's better to have a prick for a friend because he's the huge gorrika with the biggest stick, than it is to face off against King Kong with a BB Gun. So it's a complex thing and alot of people forget.. Russia doesn't operate within the context of a vacuum excluding all of history but the last 30 ish years. Russia has always been kind of like this in alot of ways. Just like the US and western society hasn't changed thematically for hundreds to thousands of years.. we've changed alot.. but our long term goals and centralized values are rooted in centuries to millenia old beliefs and traditions.. Same for Russia. At the end of the day it's up to them how to run their world as they see fit. It's up to us to maintain dialog and try fight for common understanding. We don't have to like them.. we don't have to be friends. But Putin has nearly 7000 Nuclear weapons. Crumbled and hobbled nation trying its corrupt and silly best to be the great power they once were a few short decades ago. As it may be... (in our western eyes) the capacity they ha e as a Nuclear threat and global resource player demands respect WORTHY of those positions that NOTHING we do for the foreseeable future is going to change. So at the very minimum.. enemies we should avoid being at all costs because the consequences are far more dire than anything mankind has faced before. Economic wars reshuffle the deck. Conventional wars redraw lines on maps. Nukes.. erase our species. That, should be Respected and hated enough to bring about the abolition and destruction of these stockpiles that do kot provide a deterrent. A handful of Nukes can provide a deterrent for a nation like the US or Russia. But THOUSANDS.. is a liability no matter how you try to slice it.

@@matthewbartley2746 Russia's working nuclear weapons might be in the single digits. They also need the means to deploy them successfully which it very well may not be able to.

The real issue? Russians in general are submissive. They just love their strong daddy telling them what to do. They always have.

At last, a commenter who understands something about politics in the Russian political and historical context. You need lots of tasty fish to herd cats, and enough power to ensure you can remove those who won't be herded. Putin early in his career was astute enough to form informal and formal coalitions with the right people so that he could extend his personal power. No ruler rules alone, and in sending enough fish to the regional stakeholders around the country, and being quick enough to cull irredeemable discontents, in the context of an external power being unwilling, or unable to bankroll his removal, Putin will not be removed. The downside is that such a ruler needs reliable information and loyal subordinates to stay secure, but as the system is based on corruption, opportunist cats will sneak under cover to raid the larder. The Pandemic was perfect cover. Not only were the FSB corrupt, but the military was too. So, Putin was given bad information, and the initial Ukraine assault was a, disaster. Those responsible went to prison, or to the Ukraine front lines. The generals coming home in body bags from were probably responsible for the early military procurement, maintenance, and personnel failings. So, that was a cull of irredeemables. So, Putin stays until he's had enough, or dies.

Если бы кто-то и захотел отсоединиться то это были бы какие-то определенные этнические группы или национальности и в итоге из 80+ областей только 13 смогут с большой вероятностью отсоединиться (потому что там более 50% не русской национальности) но часть таких областей окружены другими областями с русским населением так что это просто не выгодно для них. Тогда единственный способ это разделить самих русских что не представляется возможным.

Тем более у русского народа около 2000 лет был свой царь/вождь так что это не удивительно что народ не захочет менять власть как перчатки тем более хороших претендентов не найти.

It also helps that he establish himself as the face of russia, and with how long he been ar the head nobody in the country know what it would like without him, after all he was in power when russia economy rise before the war, and many believe he was directly responsible for the up tick in their lives so it hard fr many none radical Russia to deposit him

Spin the wheel anyways. Russia is sitting on a demographic time bomb. The majority of their population is 35+ years old and aging. Their population below 35 is shrinking fast. That's why Russia is trying to draft 45-50 year old men/women. However, if they do that their infrastructure, industry, and economy will collapse. Putin launched this war because he knows he won't be able to in the near future. He expected to be able to dominate 291 Eastern Europeans and reconstitute the Soviet Block without a fight and reverse his demographic collapse but he was wrong.

they can but not for a few years. A coup today still means months of sanctions and negotiations.

Alex:. The spoils you speak of should go to the people & country not the administration. WWJD???????????????????????????

But do Russian parents want to see their young sons being sent to slaughter that should be an incentives the rest of the world doesn't approve of Putin

Do not underestimate the willingness of the world to legitimize any successor regime in return for the security of Russia's nuclear weapons. In short, the world tolerated the rise of Putin and the oligarchs because they guaranteed the custody of the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons. This time around custody should take a back seat to disarmament. Do not transfer the risk, eliminate it!

ALL S SCARED

It is a wildly fascinating perspective/subject isn't it? As well, Russia itself is actually, along with former Soviet non-"westernized" societies deeply fascinating. I dont believe I'll ever really understand say, middle eastern society and cultures well enough to form a solid grasp of them, and the same with Pan-Asian culture and societies (just different enough from my perspective understanding that getting the full picture is losing alot in translation) but.. eastern orthodox post soviet Russia and Slavic peoples.. They're close enough to my own western culture to have many overlaps of common ground. Which is unfortunate that our societies don't interact better with eachother. We have more in common than we have opposed. But Geopolitics is a game for those who wish to play chess and checkers with the lives of hundreds of millions and billions of human beings. The west.. we.. us. Have a fundamental toxin within our societies and civilization. This Liberal World Order post WW2 has bread a Globalist cabal put of the old empires and the greed for power and control isn't something that's just set down. The prosperity we take for granted now was hard won by the blood of millions and the sweat of tens to hundreds of millions. That significance is swept under the rug for politic. And we face grave danger as a result of the Globalist elites like the WEF, Rothschilds central bank, and a myriad of other international economic and strategic organizations. I strongly believe that NATO is equally a relic of the cold war. And since Russia, is not the Communist USSR.. that is dead and gone and unlikely to come back. Communism is dying it's last horrified gasps of torture and cruelty playing out in the CCP.. but Russia is a new nation born from the ashes of a dead and failed giant. And hallelujah for that. But in response we should have done something that would have immeasurably changed the future we call our present now for the better. We should have embraced the new Russia as a hopeful new friend. Given them the space to find themselves. And been ready to welcome a fledgling nation. That would have been the likely and practical course of action.. but the Globalist cabal already long since had its roots sunken deep into the fortress of economic and industry succes that is the West. And it's going to be hell to cut that cancer out. Likely, our former soviet enemies, now out post cold war cousins and fellow humans on the other side of this lonely blue marble.. see us as the same.sick and twisted perversion of excess and greed they saw back when they were Red and pushing us away. The cold war is gone in every way but the hearts and minds of those who lived it. I dont remember it. I was too young. Born in 1988. So all I've ever known is that Russia.. used tk be the seat of power for a globe scanning empire of communist oppression.. and now, they're something closer to what we are. And I see how we will stop at nothing tk protect our position at the head of the economic and strategic pyramid called global politics. Shame. Imagine what we could accomplish if we stopped seeing eachother as a threat and saw eachother instead as a resource that can be called upon.

Most Russian soldiers don't listen to their officers due to laziness so Russia sends Generals to the frontline to make sure they do the hard work. Therefore, they find themselves in the crosshairs also.

@@trustmeimcool Thanks, I'll have a look.

The people voting seem to say Putin is popular. It doesn't matter if people abstain from the vote, that's the point of the tyranny. Those numbers could be falsified in which case they're a fraction lower than what Russia reports but there's still ambiguity how many people really want to stir things up just to remove Putin. Russia certainly has an outward appearance of being against the West and pro Putin so they can run with that even as a vocal minority of what most Russians think to themselves, it's probably not at the point where they completely fabricate their own support.

He raised his rating due to a special operation in Ukraine. We have been waiting 8 years for this action on his part. And he's not a tyrant at all. Compared to Stalin, he is just an angel. All the time he wants to negotiate and be friends with everyone, even where more rigidity is needed.

@@danascully6670 You're seriously describing what he's doing in Ukraine as a "special operation", when whole cities are being laid waste and there are over 6 million refugees? And someone who bans the principal political opposition and imprisons its leader after trying to murder him is not a tyrant? Imagine if Boris Johnson banned the Labour Party and tried to poison Keir Starmer? Why have you been waiting 8 years for Russia to recolonize Ukraine, which is pure imperialism? You're either joking or deluded or fascist like Putin.

It wasn't because of the casualties, it was because stupid amounts of money were sunk into the war, and the people had nothing to eat. For the first two years the war was actually very popular, because there was a genuine justification of "we must protect our orthodox friends in Serbia". Heck, one of the reasons Rasputin was killed was for his anti-war views. The war caused a revolt not because it was going badly, but because it was way too expensive and has gone on for too long. The most efficient way to piss off your entire country is to dock everyone's pay and make everything cost more.

fair point. And unlike with America, Russia's invasion is actually very important from a national security standpoint

Exactly

A couple of notes here, on the high-level military officers: - We've been hearing about generals being killed, generals being sacked, officers being put under house arrest, others having strokes/heart attacks etc. Many of those said generals later on miraculously turn up in high level official meetings, parades, foreign visits, tv shows etc. So clearly, this is being exaggerated to a great degree. I am not saying that we have another case of "Ghost of Kiev" here - where Ukraine itself admitted that the whole thing was an outright lie, I am sure that there are high-level military officer losses on the Russian side, but they are not as astronomical as what we're being presented with. - Please remember that Russian generals lead from the front. They always have and they still do. Unlike their western counterparts, who tend to stay in air-conditioned offices hundreds of kilometres from the front lines. So yes, it is only natural for some of them to be lost, we should not be surprised about this, it is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

@@MomchilNikolovPhoto it’s also very strange to assume 4D chess even this time, but what you say it’s right. Usually the most simple solution is the most likely, but convoluted realities are possible and fascinating to explore. What we have for most is speculation, but it could be both things

@@MomchilNikolovPhoto Just a note on your seeming condescension for western officers, they are positioned far away because loosing the person in charge of everything tends to paralyze a unit and sow large amounts of confusion. They are also quite valuable resources, as it’s generally agreed a general is the product of at least a 20 year career.

I agree. It would be people power that could do it. The people that surround Putin can't trust each other with thoughts of a coup so what is really left?. Same as some tried to do to Hitler, accept succeed, the first time and with a lot of luck, dont get caught. Its inconceivable for us westerners to think like a person born and raised in such a way of life as in Russia, but they are there, others born a generation later, not so much. Its the punishment now that has closed their mouths. A very scary way of life. Whatever happens in Ukraine, the world knows he is never to be trusted with any of what he says. I am a Westerner and just cant fathom how one man can put himself so far above others that everyone below is fearful of him. I know that everyone is afraid of consequences if they say or do anything in Russia but geez, this man is pathetic. Yes a psycho, egotistical etc man but pathetic. I say this because take away his oligarhs etc and hed be a pathetic looser.

you're forgetting that Hitler was losing the war at that point. Putin is winning.

Very interesting sir. 👍🏼

It has already been highlighted in all sources including western sources that he was a democratically elected Prime Minister. It is just something westerners don't like to admit because they're the reason for the current rise of Islamic regime in Iran.

I would add that even pro-Western Dimitry Medvedev is exceptionally hawkish and after following Russian affairs closely for 11 years I was shocked he is so aggressive. It is MOST DEFINITIVE that majority of elites in Russian are hawkish, and I would argue that Russian population has for 8 years heard of daily attacked on Russian-speaking population in Donbass and is out for blood against the Nazis. Azov is only one of many Nazi groupings and numerous TV shows and media article including on national media are horribly chauvinistic against Russians (children in Ukranian school named cookies "Blood of Muscovite children", Muscovite = Russians). So even if you falsely believe Putin is not greatly liked in Russia, Russians are greatly FOR this war, considering it necessary. I have seen videos of pro-West media interviewing Russian youth and most responses were "finally, we waited too much" and "we will crush them".

I think Russia is built upon Nationalism of the Great Patriotic War, which had echoing impact until today. The deaths and sacrifice of their grandparents in the war which Putin valued is policies reflected the majority in Russia. Remember Putin is a generation after WW2, He lived during the war as a child, knew the cold war very well, and lived in the disintegration of USSR, we can safely assume that he knows those things. He knows that having an entire different culture embedded in a country causes problems (one main cause of USSR collapse) as these creates insurgencies that weaken the USSR, which is why I think Putin is reclaiming what is culturally theirs, unlike what is the west propagating as if Putin = Hitler, where Putin is somehow looking for Lebensraum.
