Russian President Vladimir Putin may face military coup if leader prepares for nuclear strike

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who turns 70 tomorrow, has already warned to employ all means at his disposal if his nation is attacked. President Volodymyr Zelensky said last week that he did not believe the Kremlin was bluffing. However, a British security expert believes that any tangible steps towards deploying a nuclear strike would provoke a Kremlin revolution.


Putin's regime is most likely to end in a military coup. Faced with Putin's irresponsibility and the necessity to prevent nuclear weapons from being used, the military is likely to conduct a coup to oust him.





Putin's Presidential Administration of acolytes, ex-KGB operatives, and ex-military led by Evgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin is the second most likely faction. So far, they believe his nuclear threats are working towards their goal.


According to the source, Putin's most probable successor as Kremlin chief would be his crony, Yevgeny Prigozhin. A Russian state-backed mercenary group accused of war crimes in Africa, Syria, and Ukraine, is among the enterprises controlled by the billionaire.


Concerns about Putin's readiness to launch a nuclear strike arise if Russia suffers significant casualties in Ukraine. Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov pushed the Kremlin this week to deploy 'low-yield' nuclear weapons. Putin is rumored to be in a hidden bunker this week, making "important choices on launching a tactical nuclear strike" from there.
