CIA: America has no objection to physical elimination of Putin
8/25/2014 12:09:53 AM
The American Thinker published an article by Herbert E. Meyer, a Special Assistant to the Director of Central Intelligence and Vice Chairman of the CIA's National Intelligence Council under Reagan administration.
In the article "How to Solve the Putin Problem", a senior employee of the CIA, outlining the situation associated with Putin's crimes in Ukraine and emanating from this criminal threat to peace in the world, writes:
"Simply put, we should make clear to the Russian business executives and oligarchs who are the target of Western sanctions that Putin is their problem, not ours. These people may lack the spark of political genius or the high-minded patriotism that drove our country's Founding Fathers -- but they aren't stupid.
It won't be long before a bunch of them get together for a quiet conversation -- perhaps in a Moscow board room, more likely on a yacht anchored off the Cote d'Azur -- to, um, decide what might be best for Russia's future.
Since subtlety doesn't work with Russians, the president and his European counterparts should also make absolutely clear that we have no interest whatever in how these people solve their Putin problem.
If they can talk good old Vladimir into leaving the Kremlin with full military honors and a 21-gun salute -- that would be fine with us. If Putin is too too stubborn to acknowledge that his career is over, and the only way to get him out of the Kremlin is feet-first, with a bullet hole in the back of his head -- that would also be okay with us.
Nor would we object to a bit of poetic justice.... For instance, if the next time Putin's flying back to Moscow from yet another visit with his good friends in Cuba, or Venezuela, or Iran, his airplane gets blasted out of the sky by some murky para-military group that somehow, inexplicably, got its hands on a surface-to-air missile.
Russia after Putin may not be a Western-style democracy -- at least, not for a while -- but without Putin in power Russia won't be a threat to world peace. That's because today's Russia is less like the old Soviet Union and more like a 1950s-style Latin American dictatorship.
The old Soviet Union was a top-to-bottom police state in which the Communist Party, led by the Politburo, dominated every aspect of public and personal life throughout the country. Not much changed when one General Secretary of the Communist Party replaced another.
The new Russia is more of a one-man show; although Putin likes to think of himself as another Joseph Stalin, he's more like Argentina's Juan Peron (well, Juan Peron with nuclear bombs) and it's highly unlikely than any successor would pick up where Putin left off by continuing to go after Ukraine or otherwise threatening Europe's political stability.
Putin's immediate successor may not be one of Russia's emerging democracy-minded superstars like Gary Kasparov, the former chess champion. But he's more likely to focus on keeping Russia's economy afloat than on recreating the old Romanov Empire".
