Vladimir Putin 'to be overthrown by three rivals in hammer to head' says CIA insider. Really.R
 ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...could already be underway within his inner circle, according to a CIA insider. Putin's cronies could already be lurking in the wings if Russia's invasion of Ukraine fails, with concerns and speculation mounting over the president's health. Sergei Shoigu, Russian Defence Minister and a close Putin-ally, may be central to a mutiny to overthrow the president, according to ex-CIA Moscow station chief Daniel Hoffman. He added that if anyone is going to overthrow Putin then it'll be done in secret so that he doesn't find them and kill them first. "Nobody’s gonna ask, ’Hey Vladimir, would you like to leave?’ No. It’s a f***ing hammer to the head and he’s dead. Or it’s time to go to the sanatorium," Hoffman told The Daily Beast. "They schwack him for it. That’s what they’ll do."
