Rumor: Putin Has Been Neutralized by a "Stealthy Coup" - Opening Post Updated 9x - Putin Found

a reply to: projectbane

My opinion:

Putin is alive, sequestered among staunch loyalists, fending off a soft-coup of FSB/Oligarchs who are irritated with the clear downward direction of Russia. Since he hasn't been seen, it's still ongoing.

Talk about rampant speculation and rumors...or do you have data for this? Did he state he was packing up his toys and going home?

He ended a post with "Aloha". The other poster took this as "Goodbye ATS". I hoped it was only "I've had enough of this conversation".

RT has also posted about the fleet on Combat alert.

I also read somewhere about Arctic exercises.

twitter.com...


Edit: That's one god damn large fleet and troop count!

The question is... did Putin really give the order?

Or does he fear that something imminent is about to happen, so he put his fleet on alert before he could address his country?

He was talking about Putin, taking social media garbage as fact, what has this site come down too...

The Reuters article about Putin putting fleet on alert.

(Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin has ordered the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet and paratrooper units to go on full alert as part of snap military exercises in the Arctic, RIA news agency quoted the defense minister as saying on Monday.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who is overseeing an expensive modernization of the armed forces, said Russia faced new threats to its security which obliged it to boost its military strength and capabilities.

"New challenges and threats to military security require the armed forces to further boost their military capabilities. Special attention must be paid to strategic formations in the North," state-run RIA quoted Shoigu as saying.

Moscow has boosted its ambitions in the resource-rich Arctic region, where it shares a border with NATO member Norway, and the military is looking to boost its capabilities in the region.

I assume you also feel something is up since Putin still has yet to be seen, even in light of this meeting that was supposed to take place, right?

I am just about convinced now that something not so good is afoot in the Kremlin...

Just as a note.. I care not of this social "experiment". I wish the experiment would stop being the subject of this all too important thread, IMO. Please start another thread on that matter!

The whereabouts of Putin needs to be the discussion here!
