I have been posting for months that the 40 or so Oligrachs Putey reports to cannot be very happy with his misadventure in the Ukraine or the disarray of the ruble. These guys are all about show me the money.

IMO Putin is hiding out or drank the polonium tea. My money is on they are ousting Putin either dead or alive. There is definitely some kind of turf war going on.

I’m just hoping for less hard line. It does not get much more hard line than Putin.

I disagree with the writer’s rate of fire of the Makarov. It sounds way too slow.

I’m fairly certain I could cycle at least 8-10 rounds out of my CZ82 in 4-1/2 seconds. They are somewhat similar.

Thanks for the ping. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see about Putin.

Russian Federation Rumor: March 14, 2015

BELIEVE, HOPE, WAITING FOR THE DENOUEMENT
Next week probably will be the key. In Moscow the RF from remote areas began to deploy special forces troops. Probably, the country began a military coup. I recall that a year ago on March 16 in Crimea held a “referendum” at gunpoint “green men”, and on March 18 signed an interstate agreement on the adoption of the Crimea and Sevastopol to Russia. One good turn deserves another. I think it was during these celebrations we will see a gradual migration hot spots with Ukraine and the territory of the Russian Federation.

They say that tonight in Moscow no longer calm, gunfire sounded.
This does not mean that we can relax. On the contrary, everything is just beginning in the camp of the enemy. Night especially dark before the dawn of ...

I just received this from Ukraine: “What to look for: On Monday Putin is supposed to reappear with Draconian laws and big government change. If not, very good: hardliner loss.”

I suspect the former. I also suspect that Putin did communicate with the leaders of Kazakhstan and Belarus, but not face to face. He also likely communicated with Xi Jinping. But we will find out.
