Does it seem possible (probable?) that his inner circle would defend their power like this? Or, is there any kind of sign/indication that this could happen? I mean, it is indeed something that one can imagine but I don’t know if there is any sign pointing in this direction.
The invasion of Ukraine itself might be a sign, if you consider the invasion to be against Russia’s interest Perhaps Putin was concerned he would lose power so he started a war to shore up his support.
