If Putin Dies | The War Room

Buh bye?

Is Vladimir Putin dead?

Who knows?

What’s clear is that something has been going on in Moscow for at least a week, and whatever it is, the Kremlin prefers that it remain a secret. Russian reporters – a vastly more intrepid and courageous group than their colleagues in most countries – have been razzing Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov by alluding to Boris Yeltsin’s famous disappearances, and Peskov, usually an able front man, seems a bit wrong-footed at the moment.

Rumors abound: Putin has been removed, Putin has cancer, Putin had a stroke, Putin’s girlfriend had a baby. (On that last one, I’m not sure why Putin’s squeeze giving birth would cause him to vanish for a week; he’s not the kind of guy who seems all that concerned with paternity leave.) The hashtag “Putin has died” is trending like crazy on Russian twitter, but that means exactly zip in a country that thrives on conspiracy theories.

There are darker rumors as well: Putin is hunkering down with his high command and preparing something awful, either for the West in the form of all-out war in Ukraine, or for his own people as he goes to the mattresses as part of intra-Kremlin warfare after the shocking murder of Boris Nemtsov. Let’s not think about that until we have to.

This is one place where my expertise in Russian affairs gives me no special insight, and my guess at this point isn’t much better than anyone else’s. For what it’s worth, I don’t see the movement of personnel and forces that would signal a coup; that doesn’t mean it’s impossible, but coups don’t normally take nearly two weeks to sort out, especially not when run by the rough boys of the Russian military and security services.

If I had to bet, I’d say Putin is ill, and perhaps gravely so, and the white noise coming out of the Kremlin represents a kind of holding pattern while everyone sorts out favors, bribes, threats, and all the other ugly stuff that goes with a Moscow succession.

So what happens if Putin actually dies? There are some legal and political realities to consider. None of what I’m about to say is a prediction, but rather a roadmap of possible alternatives.

First things first. There is actually a Russian constitution, and as hard as it is to believe, Putin and his gang haven’t made a habit of violating it. (They’ve worked around it and gutted the spirit of the thing, but that’s a different matter.) If Putin dies, there is a clear short-term procedure: the Russian Prime Minister becomes Acting President. There is no Russian vice-president; when Yeltsin’s veep led a coup against him, that job was flushed out of the Russian political system in the 1993 rewrite of the constitution.

Putin’s team knows this article of the constitution well, because it’s how Putin himself became Acting President in 1999 when Yeltsin resigned. In this case, executive power will fall on Dmitry Medvedev, who has already held the job during the brief break from power Putin took between 2008 and 2012. As Acting President, Medvedev can govern for 90 days while organizing new elections. There isn’t much else he can do; the Russian constitution has a built-in firewall against Acting Presidents dissolving the legislature or monkeying around with any referenda.

What’s interesting is what happens next. Who runs in the new election? Medvedev is a known quantity, he’s held the job, and he’s not unpopular. He’s also well-known in the West. (He’s the guy to whom President Obama made his infamous “flexibility” gaffe.) It’s hard to imagine who else steps up, but a lot depends on how long Putin has been ill. If this is a sudden crisis like a stroke, then there’s a lot of deal-making going on right now, including arrangements for immunity, movement of money, and a general exchange of promises about who’s not going to prosecute whom.

The default in this case will likely be Medvedev, who was definitely pushed down the ladder when Putin returned to power, but who, as Prime Minister and a former president, knows where a lot of bodies are buried and who is owed more than a few favors.

If Putin’s been ill for a while, however, and this is just the endgame of something like cancer, then it’s a different ballgame, and we can expect that those deals have already been made. Expect to see the usual suspects in the security and military forces moving some chairs around while the farce of a new election is organized according to previous arrangements. In that case, Medvedev again is the likely choice for another term, although in a weakened condition, since these deals will have been made when the Boss was alive and healthy.

Finally, if this really was a coup, then I’m having trouble figuring out who arrested whom. Did Putin finally scare the people around him so badly – with loose talk, for example, about nuclear weapons – that they’ve removed him before he gets them all killed and turns Russia into a wasteland? I find that doubtful; some of Putin’s generals are just as hard-line as Putin himself, and their genetic deference to authority will not allow them to hose the Boss just because of a piddling war in Ukraine.

If Putin was removed by people more hard-line than Putin, I’d like to know who those guys are, because “more hard-line than Putin” is pretty much synonymous with “psychopath.”

So, at this early stage, my bet is illness, perhaps a chronic condition that has now turned unexpectedly into an acute and perhaps terminal health crisis. But I don’t know, and neither does anyone else outside the walls of the Kremlin. Stay tuned.

Expert: Vladimir Putin’s Disappearance Could Mean Russia’s Undergoing a Coup

Is Vladimir Putin dead, dying or a new daddy?

Or is Russia undergoing a coup?

Russian President Vladimir Putin attends the closing ceremony of the 2014 Winter Paralympics at the Fisht Olympic stadium in Sochi, Russia, Sunday, March 16, 2014. Putin hasn’t been seen in public since March 5, leading the world to wonder where he is — or if he’s alive. (AP Photo/Dmitry Lovetsky)

The Russian leader hasn’t been seen in public since March 5 and he cancelled a high-profile trip to Kazakhstan last week, so the rumors — some joking, some dire — have been flying.

Some speculate that Putin may have flown to Switzerland to be present for the birth of his secret love child.

Others, including an unnamed Kazakh official, have said it seems Putin is sick.

But Russia-watchers including Michael Caputo and Tom Nichols have put forward a darker theory: Russia is in the middle of a coup, and if hard-liners win, Russian nukes could wind up pointed at the world’s major cities.

“One thing is for sure: while this plays out, the world is in far more danger than we were in February,” writes Caputo. “Pray for us all.”

Of course, the rumors could all amount to nothing, but Russian goings-on haven’t exactly assuaged the world’s fears.

In a bid to combat rumors of Putin’s failing health, the Kremlin released the video below on Friday showing the Russian leader holding a meeting — but the footage wasn’t live and the Kremlin did not tell the Associated Press when the meeting had taken place.

Then things got a little weirder on Friday night when Russian TV channel Rossiya 24 reported that Putin had met with Kyrgyzstan President Almazbek Atambayev — days before the meeting was scheduled to take place.

Even before Friday’s photos surfaced, Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, was taking pains to quash any rumors of a presidential illness, political or otherwise.

Rossiya 24 admitted to the BBC that the report was a mistake, Business Insider noted.

But Kremlin spokespeople are insisting that Putin is just fine.

“When the sun comes up in spring, and as soon as spring is in the air, then the fever begins,” Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday, according to the official Tass news agency.

According to USA Today, Peskov said Putin was “absolutely” healthy and when asked if Putin still had a firm handshake, Peskov said the outdoorsy leader “can break a hand.”

Peskov also denied the rumor that Putin had flown abroad for the birth of his love child with mistress Alina Kabayeva.

While the world waits for news of Putin’s whereabouts and condition, the hashtag “#ПутинУмер” (“Putin is dead”) surfaced on Twitter, gaining steam as people speculated as to the Russian autocrat’s fate.

The Chaff vs. the Wheat

American Thinker

He ruffled too many feathers, made too many powerful enemies, and when the media painted him as a fifth columnist and a traitor, he didn't crawl on his knees begging forgiveness but carried on with his head held high. That's not how you win over friends at the Kremlin; they dislike people who walk upright.

A member of the Russian parliament from the Communist Party, Comrade Obukhov, has officiallystated that the assassination of Boris Nemtsov is nothing like those of Kirov and Kennedy. That almost sounds nostalgic: they don't shoot 'em like they used to. He should know, since both Kirov and Kennedy had been gunned down by communists. But it could also be sour grapes.

Russia's authoritarianism hasn't been the same ever since the Party had lost its license to kill, but there's still a chance the glory days may come back. Like certain species capable of regenerating missing body parts, Putin's Russia is now miraculously regenerating its previously lost militarism, territories, and spheres of influence.

The first to regenerate was the KGB and the Kremlin-run media propaganda, along with the barnacles of old political jokes that seem to have regained their edge. In one such joke, spirits of Caesar, Napoleon, and Alexander the Great are watching a military parade in Moscow and fantasize about conquering the world if they had Russian tanks, planes, and missiles. Then Napoleon says, "And if I also had the Russian media, the world would have never learned about my defeat at Waterloo."

In Russia the government-controlled pen has always been mightier than its weapon systems. A de facto vassal of the KGB, the Soviet media faithfully served as a weapon in Moscow's defensive and offensive strategies. It was used to attack perceived domestic or international enemies, as well as to release chaff of disinformation that swamped radar screens and impeded detection of targets. An ex-KGB colonel with experience in information warfare, Putin began his reign by overtaking Russia's newly independent press and weaponizing its content.

Today's coverage of Boris Nemtsov's assassination is a fair example. Far from being silent about it, the Kremlin-run media is abuzz with seemingly chaotic theories:

This was a provocation by foreign special services (a media euphemism mostly reserved for the CIA). First proposed by Putin, it immediately became the official working theory of the investigation. The enemy's goal is believed to be the destabilization of Russia and making Putin look like a thug (or, on the contrary, an incompetent fool unable to control the situation).
Ukrainian intelligence hired Chechen rebels to kill Nemtsov (who was the best friend Ukraine could ever hope to have in Russia).
Nemtsov was paid by Ukrainian oligarchs to destabilize Russia; he failed and they eliminated him to cover their tracks.
Nemtsov's business partners rubbed him out for embezzling their money (he had no business partners and wasn't actively involved in any businesses).
Nemtsov was killed by his own colleagues inside the anti-Putin opposition as a result of a power struggle, or possibly over the money coming from overseas sponsors.
That night he got involved in a bar brawl with random gangsters, who followed him from the restaurant and shot him in the back.
Islamic terrorists affiliated with ISIS killed Nemtsov for his vocal support of Charlie Hebdo.
Bon vivant Nemtsov broke many hearts by dating a gorgeous young model from Kiev; it was a crime of passion.

Tellingly absent from this is the single and most obvious theory the entire world is mulling over: the Kremlin connection. But if the Kremlin-run media mentions Putin in that context, it's only as a trusted leader who has promised to hunt down the thugs and bring stability to the troubled nation. Attacks on Russia's president by the Western media and domestic opposition (Garry Kasparov, Alexei Navalny, etc.) only prove to the average media consumer that this was a provocation aimed at attacking Putin. Back to Theory One above.

Although the mission may seem accomplished, the media's work isn't over. Expect more narratives of varying plausibility that will crush any residual sympathy for the deceased and establish him as a brawling playboy with a predictably low life expectancy. If anyone is to blame, it's Nemtsov himself.

A similar template was activated when Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 from Amsterdam crashed over eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014, with all evidence suggesting a strike by a surface-to-air-missile launched by a Moscow-controlled military unit (the final report by the Dutch Safety Board is expected in August, 2015).

The initially stunned denial of facts was followed by an immediate allegation of a conspiracy to blow up Putin's plane, soon accompanied by a motherload of competing theories, all of them clearing Russia of any wrongdoing. The scenarios were getting curioser and curioser, until the entire media landscape began to resemble a psychedelic scene from the last remake of Alice in Wonderland, with Johnny Depp as a lovable Russian president helping to end the reign of terror in the neighboring Ukraine. Once again, tellingly missing from that script was the Kremlin's involvement, along with any feelings of shame or empathy:

According to initial reports, heroic pro-Russian militia shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane; any rumors about a downed Malaysian airliner must be a hostile provocation (was there seriously a plan to clean up the crash site and pretend nothing ever happened?)
The Ukrainians were planning to assassinate Putin by shooting down his presidential aircraft but got their planes mixed up. The proof was in the photograph of Putin's plane that looked somewhat similar to the Malaysian jet, even though Putin was nowhere near Ukraine that day.
The bloodthirsty Ukrainian junta wanted to murder passengers on a Russian airline, but instead they killed 298 foreign citizens. The SBU (Ukrainian National Security Service) covered their tracks by killing the crew of the Buk missile system.
Ukrainian air traffic controllers deliberately redirected the Malaysian jet towards the war zone and lowered its altitude, as part of Kiev's plan to make Russia look bad.
A Ukrainian fighter jet attacked Flight MH17 from behind, first spraying it with bullets and then turning around and launching a heat-seeking missile. This was proven by a satellite photo and an admission by a Ukrainian pilot, both of which turned out to be fake.
A Spanish air traffic controller claimed he saw two Ukrainian fighter jets closely following the Malaysian Boeing (a report later withdrawn as false).
An anonymous defector from Ukraine, speaking with a proper Russian accent, claims that on the day of the tragedy he witnessed a takeoff of a Ukrainian military jet carrying air-to-air missiles. The jet later returned without the missiles as the visibly shaken pilot said, "It was the wrong plane."
Flight MH17 contained dead bodies that had been soaked in formaldehyde and smelled of decomposition within minutes of the crash. Most bodies were naked, with yellowed skin and no blood inside. The luggage was full of winter clothes even though it was summer. It was obvious that the bodies had come from a different Malaysian plane, which had been shot down by Americans and hidden away on a US Air Force base. The Americans then secretly transported the preserved bodies to Amsterdam, loaded them onto the Boeing, and sent it on an unmanned flight over eastern Ukraine in a plot to frame Russian separatists. This elaborate conspiracy reveals how desperate the Western governments have become to undermine Russia's reputation as a peaceful power.

Are Russian journalists really such a bunch of unruly and idle gossipers? That could be the case if they also weren't so disciplined in executing the same maneuver every time Putin gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Then, just like werewolves on a full moon losing their humanity, "serious" pro-Kremlin journalists and editors suddenly drop their respectable personae and start acting like conspiracy-obsessed lunatics.

As a result, according to a survey conducted by the Levada Center a week after the crash, 80% of Russians believed that the Boeing was shot down by the Ukrainian military with only 3% blaming the Kremlin-controlled separatists. These numbers are still true today and won't change anytime soon. Expect a similar result with the coverage of Boris Nemtsov's murder, including the same lack of shame or empathy for the victim.
