The heads begin to roll in Russia

[Guno צְבִי]

European media report that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the house arrest of two senior Federal Security Service (FSB) officers. Colonel-General Sergei Beseda, Chief of the FSB's "Fifth Service," reportedly was detained along with his deputy, Anatoly Bolyuk, charged with providing flawed intelligence about Ukraine and their improper use of operational funds. Separately, Oleksiy Danilov, Ukraine's national security council chief, claimed that several Russian generals have been fired. The implications portend more suffering yet to come, but likewise opportunities to increase pressure on the Russian leader from within.

Perhaps emulating Joseph Stalin, this could be the onset of a purge and Putin's desperate ploy to provide his domestic audience with a fall guy for self-inflicted wounds. His call to rid Russia of "scum and traitors" as "a necessary self-purification of society" might be Putin's theatrical unveiling of not merely a further crackdown against the Russian people, but also his version of a "cultural revolution" to bring further to heel those around him on whom he has counted to take and maintain power. If I were one of the oligarchs or "siloviki," those from Russia's intelligence services who profiteered on Putin's kleptocracy, I'd be more than just a little worried.

I'm surprised that he hasn't kicked all the foreign journalists (but Fox's "journalists") out of Russia.

If I was one of his oligarchs, I'd leave the country, and employ a food taster too.

Does this mean “Putin is a genius” again?

Interesting to see if the tactics of old are as easy to execute today with social media and such as they were decades ago

They weren't when Obama said it. They were given new powers by Trump who worked up close and personal with Putin. He encouraged Putin. He was doing Putin's work by trying to destroy NATO.

Putin's Night of the Long Knives.

https://www.britannica.com/event/Night-of-the-Long-Knives
Night of the Long Knives, in German history, purge of Nazi leaders by Adolf Hitler on June 30, 1934. Fearing that the paramilitary SA had become too powerful, Hitler ordered his elite SS guards to murder the organization’s leaders, including Ernst Röhm. Also killed that night were hundreds of other perceived opponents of Hitler.

The oligarchs need to buy out Putin's Praetorian Guard so that Putin has a "Jeffery Epstein" night or an "accident."

Obama, Obama, Obama. Two Presidents later and the pissants are still whining about it. LOL

I consider Russia to be a threat. Do you, comrade volsrockski?

I think Vladimir Putin is a murderer and, if the Russians had any balls, they'd do to Putin what Putin is doing to thousands of Russians and Ukrainians.

In the case of the 21st Century, the order is reversed; first we had the farce on 1/6 and now we have the tragedy.
