Of course and he had also surrounded himself with ex-FSB/KGB associates as well: Patrushev, Bortnikov, Naryshkin. His body guards are all FSB too, I think. In his eyes, both FSB and the Army could do no wrong. And I think he may be realizing the "yes" men he surrounded himself from both of those agencies have been lying to him for years about the state of readiness, capabilities, and ability of those agencies. Now will some of them try to sprinkle some Polonium-210 in his tea? At first I thought it was plausible, but now I don't know. They've been there for so long kissing each others asses killing Putin would be the end of them as well. But, somehow, I see the GRU doing it. They've been more of a wildcard in the past. At some point their children won't be able to get the diabetes or other medicine and they might start thinking thoughts like that.
