CIA Officer Names Putin's Weak Points That Could Destroy Russia

This highlights the fragility of the dictatorial regime.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is not afraid of war against Ukraine. But he has other weak points that highlight the fragility of his dictatorial regime.

Retired senior CIA officer Po Kolbe expressed this opinion to Channel 24, noting that Putin has already lost his prestige in Syria. In addition, there are several internal factors in the aggressor country that concern the Russian dictator's entourage and the Russians themselves.

According to the retired senior CIA officer, the Kremlin's political failure can be considered the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria. Russia invested billions of rubles in the power of this dictator and lost its prestige. During the support of the dictatorship in Syria, the Russians killed a huge number of Syrian civilians, tortured people and kept them in prison.

This highlights the fragility of the dictatorship. Dictators can exist for a long time because of the repression they use. A dictatorship may look strong on the outside, but it is rotten on the inside, Kolbe noted.

Putin has been in power since 1998, has a very narrow circle of people he trusts, and many enemies. The Russian dictator, according to a retired senior CIA officer, is afraid of Russians.

“So, the FSB is most focused on control, manipulation and subordination of the people. However, this does not mean that a popular uprising will suddenly explode in Russia,” he emphasized.

Another important element is external pressure on the Kremlin. A similar situation occurred in Syria, when Assad could not receive sufficient support from Iran and Hezbollah. When the time came, Sunni soldiers did not want to fight for the Syrian dictator and fight for a corrupt regime.

“It reminded me of Yevgeny Prigozhin's march to Moscow. He passed checkpoint after checkpoint, and the Russian soldiers just stood there and did not defend Russia, they waited to see which way the wind would blow,” Kolbe added.
