Someone mentioned that this could counter intuitively make Putin stronger like a coup in Turkey in 2016 where they purged the opponents of the government after a failed coup.
But I have a hard time believing that. Hard to see how Putin can handle too much of this sort of thing.
- Eldt 3y agoI think Putin has an easy enough time purging without an excuse like that
- Flatcircle 3y agoExactly!
- dredmorbius 3y agoWhich actually somewhat creates the inverse problem (and not unknown in Russia, Soviet or otherwise): competent generals have largely been purged already, hence the reliance on the W.G. and its chef.
