Putin -  Machiavellian or Just a ‘Paper Tiger’?

WikiLeekZ is Our Name…Satire is Our Game.

Ever since Putin invaded Ukraine, he’s ruthlessly beaten and imprisoned any Russians publicly opposed to his invasion. Russians who dared speak out publicly against the war in Ukraine faced beatings, long prison terms or worse. It was easy for this big, strong, horseback-riding, judo champion and star hockey player… sitting at the end of his 50’ long table in the Kremlin to order his thugs and helmeted FSB into the streets of Moscow and St Petersburg to ‘restore’ order.

Oh sure, it was easy for Putin to send in his FSB thugs to beat, round up and imprison unarmed students, artists and activists who demonstrated in the streets against the Ukraine invasion. It was easy for Putin’s minions and apparatchiks to broadcast lies and his interpretation of history on his state-controlled media and to arrest those who attempted to get out the true facts on TV or the internet. It was easy to allow those ‘troublemakers’ to flee Russia in the beginning days of the war so as to lessen the number of dissenters in Russia.

It was easy for this Paper Tiger to permit Prigozhin to do his dirty work in Africa and Syria and to profit from the bounty of mineral resources that Prigozhin-Putin’s Chef, divided up with this Paper Tiger.  

When Prigozhin and his loyal mercenaries marched from Ukraine to Rostov-on-Don as easily as driving from Des Moines to Omaha, this coward, Paper Tiger was not heard from for a good while and his top two military leaders - Valery Gerasimov  and Sergei Shoigu remain out of sight and are either in prison, planning a coup or dead.

Shortly after calling Prigozhin a traitor as he marched toward Moscow, Putin showed his stripes and pardoned Prigozhin for traitorous acts…in essence, begging him to go to Belarus and then granted amnesty to his troops.

Coward, Paper Tiger or brilliant Machiavellian?
