Following the “obvious failure” of his invasion of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has been warned of probable coup attempts. Russia anticipated to make big inroads into its neighbouring nation within days of commencing an operation, but forces were forced to pull away from Kyiv after encountering heavy opposition. According to Michael Clarke, a defence and security specialist, Putin might expect a “Julius Ceasar scenario,” with close associates of the Russian leader attempting to remove him from office either physically or politically.
Mr Clarke told LBC: “In terms of what happens to him, in my opinion, that is a Julius Caesar scenario for him.”
“Whether it’s physical death, I don’t know, but somebody has got to actually plunge the dagger in politically.
“Whoever strikes first, they’ve got to succeed, it’s very important that whoever goes first makes it happen.
“When somebody hits him politically in a way that injures him, then everyone else will pitch in.”
