How bad are things going for Vladimir Putin right now over in Russia, well put it this way, Russian state funded media, literally the human beings that are paid by Putin to say great things about Putin have now on the air literally turned against him. His own propagandists are now against him. What happened recently was that you had two Russian state tv, uh, uh, pundits slash kind of executives by the name of Vladimir, uh, Solo y'all and Margarita Seon. Now Margarita actually used to run both Sputnik and RT America here in the United States. Now, obviously, RT America does not exist anymore. I actually don't even know if Sputnik does, but she is a, a huge power player in Russian state funded media. So her being one of these people calling out Putin Now, um, that is exceptionally significant because as far as I know, she was hand picked by Putin to run these things.

And here's what they had to say. Semin Margarita was particularly angry that many people with no military experience at all were being called up to fight in Ukraine as well as men aged up to 62 years old. All of y'all meanwhile fumed over news reports that a musician suffering from a serious illness had been drafted by a vengeful recruiter for supposedly registering a complaint against him in the past. So of y'all have also raged at photos of rusty old weapons that were being given to some recruits and said the Russian military would be crazy to believe they could keep any of this a secret. So of y'all have said quote, all of them have phones and they won't stay silent if they're being handed rotten things, if they have no helmets, no body armor, no one is going to hide it. I will tell you very politely, don't play games with people.

This isn't some liberal riff raft. These are our people and I refuse to be silent about it. So good for these two people, right? I'm not sticking up for them any more than that. But what's happening now is that even some of these higher ups, like we see the titans of industry in Russia, those that have not yet fallen out of windows, but they are still just not all of them yet, all of these powerful people, all of these people in positions of influence are standing up and saying, Putin's effing up. This guy is ruining the country now he's gonna get people killed. Sick people, elderly people, people with no, uh, military experience. Hell, How to break your arm is one of the top trending searches in Russia because people don't want to go fight in his stupid little war of aggression. He's lost the people

And now even the people he pays to convince the people he hasn't lost them are standing up for the average person in Russia, that folks could be the turning point. Putin needs to be ousted, but not by the United States, not by Ukraine, not by any other country on this planet. Putin, if he is to be ousted, needs to be ousted by his own people. There's a great quote, and I know this is kind of silly, but it's a great quote from Captain America's civil war. An empire toppled by its enemies can rise again, but one that crumbles from within that's dead forever. And that is basically how we have to deal with the Putin administration. If we try to take it down, he can come back. If NATO does it, he can come back, but if the people of Russia stand up to him and remove him from power, he is done.
