EXCLUSIVE: 'This is the beginning of the end of Putin': Moscow drone attack, Kremlin blasts and cross-border raids spell doom for the Russian tyrant and could see the break-up of his country, expert warns
Daily Mail ^ | June 3, 2023 | Chris Pleasance

Posted on 06/03/2023 7:31:36 AM PDT by Angelino97

In the dawn hours of May 3, Moscovites awoke to an unbelievable sight: Two suicide drones had somehow managed to penetrate the city's air defences and explode on the roof of the Kremlin itself.

Such an attack would have been unthinkable when Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine a year earlier, and yet it was only the beginning. Three weeks later, partisans began raiding Russia's borders and then a swarm of drones slammed into Moscow's wealthy suburbs.

In-fighting between Russia's military and Putin's warlords is now at fever pitch, Ukraine's counter-attack is looming, and an opposition politician even went so far as to call for Putin himself to be replaced on state TV earlier this week.

So, is this really the beginning of the end for Russia's tyrant? 'Yes,' believes Luke Coffey, an expert at the Hudson Institute think-tank in Washington - who adds that Putin's demise will be swiftly followed by the break-up of Russia itself.

'I agree [that] this is the beginning of the end of Putin - the trajectory now is towards Putin being ousted and the further breakup of the Russian Federation,' he said.

How would the U.S. react if Russia was supplying drones that someone else used to bomb the Pentagon?

Let us know when it happens. In the meantime Russia is getting what it more than deserves.

Sometime soon the Daily Mail will emerge victorious and will occupy the Kremlin.

You act as if one day the Ukrainians decided out of thin air to “attack” the kremlin
, I guess the utter destruction of Ukrainian cities is just an act of brotherly love

To quote Major Payne.” I guess I just had that one a comin”

Putin was already supposed to be dead given the various forms of Cancer he was supposedly suffering from, then he was going to be assassinated by someone, since those two haven’t happened, now it’s the breakup of Russia that will be his downfall, yet Russia keeps fighting.

Even if Putin dies or is removed from power, why would anyone think his replacement would not be far worse than Putin.

I would say, be careful what you wish for, it could be dealing with the devil we know is often better than the devil we don’t know.

I’m just wondering if we finally see Putin’s corpse or he’s in a prison cell, which of his lovers here will be devout enough to tell us it’s not true, all part of his plan, how would we feel if this happened in the United States....

Should be fascinating if it happens.

A propaganda barage in the Daily Mail is so much deadlier than a year of artillery barages against a fortified and entrenched non-strategic town like Bakhmut where Ukie cannon fodder utterly staved of hundreds of thousands of Russian artillery rounds exploding in their trenches and foxholes. Russians will run out of missiles and artillery in the next decade or so while the MI6 run propaganda machine can continue catapulting Horse Shit as long as electrons exist in the universe.

The Hudson Institute receives funding from the Defense Department/Pentagon.

These are a bunch of DC RINOs.

Once Zelensky runs out of people to kidnap off the streets and have slaughtered on the front lines, he will be removed by the Western puppeteers and a deal will be sought.

The money has been laundered, the weapon systems have been sold on the black market and there will another proxy war that the war mongers in the West can go make a boatload of cash in some other country.

Putin is a good ruler and a force for good in the world. I dngaf what any globohomo says. He’s fighting against the new world order that the Soros deep state is using to destroy america and other countries around the world. We could have easily teamed up with Russia as a force for good and a force for Christendom, but the globohomos want one world government, elmination of freedoms, elimination of modern conveniences in the name of their false global warming religion etc. All while an unelected cabal controls everything across national borders.

Russia is unlikely to break up but it is increasingly possible that other countries will take back what belongs to them. And that’s a very long list of countries.

The point is, if WE (the U.S., Britain, NATO?) supplied the drones that attacked the Kremlin, then in a sense WE attacked the Kremlin.

This is escalation. Do you really want to play chicken with a nuclear power?

Is this the end of Putin number 3471, or is it 72?

But you have to admit that even the surprisingly productive Russian war machine has to run out of bombs and shells and missiles some day while our leaders have a boundless supply of horseshit to feed us. And then we win, right?

The fact that Russia keeps fighting is no longer an indication of its strength, rather of its disfunction.

The Russians now are saying they will have to fight this war for 10 years, rather doing the only thing that makes sense and getting out.

I guess China is trying to get them a cease fire but no one will agree until they see how the Ukrainian offensive goes.

I agree totally with you there is danger in this situation and in the aftermath of a Putin/ Russia collapse.

But Putin created a situation similar to the Soviet Union, only with destructive wars the Soviets always avoided. It’s a prescription for ultimate disintegration.

No good leadership outside of the despotic ruling clique, vassal states that hate the Kremlin, wasteful war and military spending. The Soviets could roll into a Warsaw Pact country and take it unopposed in a matter of days. And still they fell apart from within.

Who would think a private mercenary army as the only effective fighting force could be good for a nation? Answer: Putin, who rules with oligarchs and eliminates every other effective leader. He probably feared having a capable national army.
