Fox News reporter Steve Harrigan returned from Ukraine with a grim message about the future of Ukraine, but also a prediction that the Russian people “are going to rise up” and overthrow Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I think Putin is being bled. And he will be bled for years and it will take years. Maybe the oligarchs who are making as much money will hurt. Maybe the Russian people will rise up,” said Harrigan on America’s Newsroom on Monday. “I think for me, Ukraine is a done deal. It’s flattened and they lost. But the next story, I think, is Russia. The Russian people are going to rise up and throw this guy out.”

How about Russia redirecting its trade to Asia and making Europe bleed instead?
Putin doesn’t really want Ukraine. He wants a buffer state on his border and he wants the land bridge to Crimea. They will settle this in the next month or two and the us propaganda machine will turn their attention to the midterms.
"That's not what everyone on Twitter says!"
” a prediction that the Russian people “are going to rise up” and overthrow Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
Yeah...right...and with who’s guns??
A regime like Russia would think nothing about turning the military on their own population.
Never register or turn in your guns.
Is FOX calling it early again?
“Is FOX calling it early again?”
Exactly. Fox is useless liberal propaganda.
It sure looks like it.
Russia wins the war — and that’s why the Russian people will rise up and stage a coup against Putin? What?
Our Deep State just doesn’t give up on Russia, Russia, Russia. We have always been at war with Eurasia.
It would please Biden and the EU immensely. Just think of those hundreds of billions in assets they could freeze and seize. Or die trying. And guess who would be the dying.
Maybe Ukrainians don’t know that and due to their ignorance keep fighting and win. Has happened many times throughout history. People achieve something because they didn’t know it is impossible.
Are they shouting "Wolverines" on Twitter?
Texas has a bigger economy than Russia.
Russia becoming a Chinese vassal state will have minimal economic impact on Europe.
As long as Ukraine fights they have not lost.
In all honesty, I can believe that the EU is able to replace the Russian oil at the expense of giving Iran the bomb, alienating Israel and Arabs in the process.
Where they are going to get gas, food, fertilizers, rare earths, including nuclear fuel to run their NEPs is a mystery.
It is true that Russia is not a single source in the world but other sources are already involved in the existing supply chains. China is going to appreciate whatever Russia is going to offer.
I don’t share Harrington’s prediction on the future overthrow of Putin. Don’t you find it somewhat ironic that the Soviet Union, then Russia, supported the American left for decades? And now, the American left is suddenly anti-Russia. I am deeply surprised!
The size is irrelevant, you are talking about things you have little idea above. As for Russia becoming a Chinese vassal, I see no reason from the American perspective to celebrate. It is a loss of the century in terms of American foreign policy.
At some point, some on FOX must have decided, "Hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
Or - the military might turn their guns on Putin. They (hard-core communists) tried it in 1991 but failed. But, it did lead to Boris Yeltsin taking over, and the fall of the USSR.
I’m guessing/hoping that this Ukraine war will be settled soon with negotiations. I’m also guessing that Putin has a strong hand on things (internally) for now. His health is an issue it sounds like, so who knows how long Putin has to keep that power.
That seems exactly what happened. The owners were liberal but thought they could run a profitable conservative biz.
