Former CIA chief Jack Devine predicts potential surprise removal of Putin amidst Ukraine war stalemate

In a startling revelation, former CIA head Jack Devine is asserting that a “black swan” event, an unforeseen and significant occurrence, might be on the horizon: the removal of Vladimir Putin from power, possibly through a coup, amidst the Ukraine conflict, which Devine believes has reached a "dead end".

Devine contends that the Russian president could be ousted at any moment, serving as a colossal surprise for the global community and the individuals involved. "It will be a surprise. There is always something called a 'black swan'," Devine explains, referring to the theory that revolves around rare, unprecedented events with severe consequences.

“I wouldn't be surprised if some element in the government has already decided to take executive measures” Devine adds, emphasizing the unpredictability of the situation and highlighting the potential for swift action due to the failures of the Russian army in the ongoing war in Ukraine.

He clarifies that the term “tomorrow” is symbolic, emphasizing the unforeseeable nature of the specific timing of such an event. Devine anticipates that the removal of Putin could take the form of a palace coup rather than an outright rebellion.

Addressing the current political landscape, Devine challenges the apparent surge in support for Putin and the war in Ukraine indicated by pre-election polls. He asserts that the reality on the ground is markedly different, suggesting that Putin's actions in the conflict have made him increasingly unpredictable and detrimental to Russian society.

Devine argues that the toll of the war has led to a decline in Putin's popularity, stating that the conflict has "sowed his political death." He points to early signs that support his theory, noting that as the number of casualties and the level of violence escalate, fewer Russian citizens are willing to participate in the war.

As tensions mount and the conflict in Ukraine shows no signs of abating, Jack Devine's assessment raises the specter of a potentially unexpected and transformative event on the global stage, leaving the world to speculate on the future of Russia and its leadership.
