@Shadowman311 @AnimeTradCath @ArdainianRight @PraxisOfEvil @DrBtc @sickburnbro I'm not saying CIA didn't try to impact things behind the scenes, but there has to be some organic, pre-existing discontent with Putin among leadership in Russia for it to get this far. Russia also has a long history of coups, so it's in their nature. Russians are generally displeased with how the Ukrainian war is being waged, and Putin has been around for a long time. Other guys want that power and will take the chance to seize it. Even if Prigozhin has success removing Putin, I doubt he is the one who actually takes power.
This is destabilizing the country with the most nukes on earth, which is concerning.
