Reprisal for Putin after war — U.S. veteran shares his prediction
As soon as Russia' s economy begins to collapse, Putin will be threatened with physical reprisal. Russia is facing serious economic problems, and the lack of international trade complicates its situation, increasing the risk of a fall of power.
This was stated by US Army veteran and OSINT analyst Ryan McBeth in an interview with Channel 24.
Who might try to "remove" Putin and why
McBeth suggested that the Russian military or armed people may take physical action against Putin as soon as Russia's economy begins to collapse.
"Maybe not the next day (after the ceasefire agreement — Ed.), but as soon as their economy starts to collapse and there are soldiers coming home. Of course, this is not the United States with our easy access to firearms, but that never stops people who know what a weapon is," said the US Army veteran.
According to him, economic difficulties, high inflation and unemployment can lead to social unrest, which in turn will provoke the military to take action to remove the Kremlin leader.
"It won't necessarily happen right away, but as soon as people start feeling the pain of being fired from their jobs, coupled with high inflation, that usually triggers revolutions. That's when you might see a few army officers say, "Maybe I can make things better," said McBeth.
The analyst added that Russia is already facing serious economic problems, as the world does not buy Russian goods, except for oil, which greatly complicates the situation in the country and increases the risk of the fall of government.
He also emphasized that although the U.S. economy also experienced a recession after World War II, the country could recover thanks to international trade.
"It's going to be extremely difficult to end this Mostly because Russia has never really exported much of anything to the West other than natural gas or oil," said McBeth.
Given these factors, McBeth believes that Russian generals may begin to look for an opportunity to change power in the country, and Putin should be wary of possible revolts in his own circle.
As a reminder, Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin signed a decree dismissing Alexei Smirnov from the post of governor of the Kursk region. Formally, he was dismissed "at his own request", but according to sources, the reason was Smirnov's inability to respond effectively to the crisis caused by the Ukrainian army's operation in the Kursk region.
