Propaganda in the United States is spread by both government and media entities. Propaganda is carefully curated information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread, usually to preserve the self-interest of the nation. It is used in advertising, radio, newspaper, posters, books, television, films and other media. Propagandists may provide either factual or non-factual information to their audiences, often emphasizing positive features and downplaying negative ones, or vice versa, in order to shape wide scale public opinion or influence behavioral changes

WARSAW —
With Russia’s ground invasion largely stalled and stuttering, a minority view is emerging among some Kremlin watchers that Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s days are numbered.
“Whatever Putin does, he does not look as if he can survive for long,” tweeted Anders Aslund, a Swedish economist and former economic adviser to the governments of Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Ukraine.

Key Points
* If his reputation wasn’t bad enough before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin is now even more widely seen as unstable, unreliable and untrustworthy.
* The invasion has prompted analysts to question whether Putin has a moral compass as well as his sense of reality, geopolitical strategy and grip on power.
* Strategists are asking whether the invasion of Ukraine could backfire spectacularly on Putin, leaving him vulnerable to an uprising at home, as living standards fall, or a coup led from within the elite.
If his reputation wasn’t bad enough before Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin is now even more widely seen as unstable, unreliable and untrustworthy — and those are the more generous descriptions of a leader who has ordered and overseen violent and destructive aggression toward Russia’s smaller neighbor.

"I don't rule out a coup after (Russia is) defeated in Ukraine,” he said. “Putin's extradition to The Hague may be one of the conditions for settling relations between Russia, the West and us."

Is a coup possible in Russia? Several months ago, most analysts would have dismissed the idea as absurd. Today, with the war in Ukraine going badly for Russia and President Vladimir Putin, the question is relevant. It might even be urgent.
Indeed, that question has been supplemented by another: Can a leader who has created such an immense catastrophe for his regime and his country possibly survive?

What the History of Russia’s Power Struggles Says About Putin’s Future
Russian President Vladimir Putin has lost touch with reality. He has declared a partial mobilization to reverse his defeats in Ukraine and, signaling his desperation, ratcheted up Russia’s nuclear saber rattling. Each day the war drags on, his country grows more isolated from the rest of the world. Increasingly, Russia depends on China to keep its economy from collapsing under the weight of sanctions, even as Chinese leaders express doubts about the invasion. Russia’s failure to take Kyiv, and its recent reversals in the Kharkiv region in eastern Ukraine, have led even pro-Putin commentators to question his decisions.

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.

Just as the world thought that the lack of basic etiquette (diplomatic or any other) in the United States establishment couldn't possibly get worse, that same establishment goes beyond anyone's imagination (or worst nightmares in this particular case). On Friday, October 7, during an interview on CBS, former US National Security Advisor John Bolton, infamous for his insistence on starting wars against Venezuela, Iran and North Korea or escalating the ongoing ones (such as Syria, Libya, Yemen, etc), said Russian President Vladimir Putin is on the US target list and threatened he might be assassinated.

Regime Collapse Is More Likely Than a Coup
Can Russian President Vladimir Putin lose the war in Ukraine and retain power? As Ukraine’s driving counteroffensive erodes Russia’s position on the battlefield, that question is getting increasing attention. Discussion has focused on the possibility of a coup, whether an armed insurrection by disgruntled Russian generals or a mutiny by Kremlin insiders. Although not impossible, neither of these is currently very likely. In fact, a different danger is more plausible: a comprehensive meltdown of the regime, as multiple challenges overwhelm its capacity to react and dysfunction drains confidence in Putin’s leadership.

* He believes a coup will arise once the Russian elite realise the war is a 'dead end'
* A coup to remove Putin will involve his closest aids and guards, he says
Vladimir Putin will only be removed from power in a palace coup, says a prominent political scientist.
This is the only prospect for an end to the 'meat grinder' war in Ukraine, according to Vladislav Inozemtsev, director of the Russian Centre for Post-Industrial Society Research.
This comes as another Putin expert says the warmonger has no remaining viable options of fleeing into exile despite rumours that his henchmen have started so-called Operation Noah's Ark to find him and his closest cronies a safe haven.

The Russian President is coming under huge pressure to make a significant breakthrough in the war with Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin has been warned he faces "a very bleak future" with the possibility of a coup in Russia against him as he comes under huge pressure to quickly score a "significant victory" over Ukraine. Putin has seen Russia smashed by a series of devastating blows since the invasion of Ukraine began nearly a year ago, with tens of thousands of troops killed and valuable weapons and equipment destroyed. The Russian President could ramp up his efforts to win the war as the first anniversary of the conflict, with reports he could be preparing to mobilise 500,000 troops into battle.
