Clint Watts who served in the US Army and was recruited by the FBI is a frequent guest expert on intelligence matters and foreign affairs on cable news channels. He explains why it is not inconceivable that Putin’s actions may lead to the fall of Moscow. In fact, Mr. Watts views it as a realistic possibility, one that he fears.

He leads into it by pointing out obvious current problems, both military and economic. He summarizes it and concludes this way.
"He’s got a disaster on his hands, for a couple reasons," Watts told Swisher. "Militarily, even if he is successful, he’s taking casualties. That will filter back home. You cannot disinformation your way out of 10,000 dead. It’s just not possible. And you’re going to have war-wounded. The mothers in Russia have always been the pushback against Putin during these conflicts. This is going to be next-level scale."
This will not settle down at home," he stated before going into greater detail. "And for those that have had the open markets, the open economy, you know, more open economy, more open information space — when these things start trickling and shutting off, you’re going to see two things. One, those that can flee will. Who are those that flee? Those with money. And those that stay, there’s going to be fights and wars. And so my big worry is that we’re worried about Kyiv falling today. I’m worried about Moscow falling between day 30 and six months from now."
He’s not saying it will happen or even that it is likely, but he is saying that it is a realistic possibility. It is certainly an interesting and short read.
