Vladimir Putin is facing dark days, and no one would be surprised if he disappeared tomorrow, according to a former CIA agent.
The Russian president, who invaded Ukraine in 2022, has been hit with countless rumors, all pointing to his demise. There has been loud chatter of assassination plots, poisoning attempts, and coups d’état from his long list of enemies.
Putin is also living in fear because of some of his closest allies and even soldiers inside the Kremlin. It is also claimed that Putin is facing rapid health decline due to cancer or Parkinson’s disease.
Putin, who has been living in a solitary and paranoid world, has now gotten word that he should be more worried than ever before.
According to a veteran chief of America’s Central Intelligence Agency, Putin has enemies from the four corners of the earth, some of whom are Russians.
Jack Devine, who worked for more than 30 years as a chief CIA agent, says Putin’s actions have put him in a position where his days are numbered.
The expert spoke to The Sun to say that Putin’s end will be orchestrated by people he once trusted and collaborated with.
Devine, who oversaw thousands of spies on covert and classified missions, explained: “Putin could disappear tomorrow, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some element in the government had decided they were going to take executive action.”
Devine believes Putin has created this doomsday scenario for himself by becoming unpredictable and dangerous — and his invasion of Ukraine has “sowed his political demise”.
He predicted that, over time, Putin would go from a ruthless leader to an unpopular and abandoned soul. He also predicted that the tyrant’s behavior would be more erratic upon discovering it was an unwinnable war.
According to Devine, Putin would plow ahead in a more gruesome manner, and he added: “The more losses and the more violence that is visible to the Russian citizens, the less people want to be involved. He will have a hard time recruiting, but it is Russia after all. He will find a way to strong arm, entice. He will come up with the army at the end of the day, but the war will become increasingly less popular.”
The failing war in Ukraine will have dire consequences for Putin, who will ultimately lose his power via what he described as a “Black Swan” palace coup.
He boldly revealed: “It’ll be a surprise. There’s always what we call a ‘Black Swan’ that appears from nowhere. But failing a ‘Black Swan,” I believe his troubles begin when there’s a stalemate and that’s right now. I don’t think it’ll be an uprising. I think it’ll be a what we might call a palace coup.”
Multiple military experts agree that Putin’s authority will not last much longer. However, the end of Putin’s reign is not all great news for the West.
The person set to replace Putin will be an enemy of the United States and Europe and march on with the brutal war against Ukraine.
