UK Analyst Insists Putin Will Be Killed By His Own Generals If He Tries To Use Nukes

Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely to be killed by his own allies before he has the chance to launch a nuclear attack, according to Prof. Peter Duncan of the University College London School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES), Matthew Dooley reported for the UK’s Daily Express.

Putin and his allies have voiced a series of thinly veiled threats against Ukraine and the West, claiming they could use nuclear weapons to defend the illegally annexed territories.

However, experts have claimed that Putin is either bluffing or he doesn't understand the situation at his own peril.

Duncan told Express.co.uk that Putin was "isolated from reality" and would likely be killed before he was able to pull the nuclear trigger. Putin has made a series of mistakes since he launched his invasion of Ukraine.

He underestimated the Ukrainian people's will to resist and NATO's resolve. Now he has called an unpopular mobilization which could threaten his position at home.

"The bottom line is that Putin is isolated from reality. He just doesn't understand either about Russia, what people think in Russia, or about what people think abroad, which is, in other words, everywhere. And that's why he makes mistake after mistake," Duncan argued.

Part of this is that Putin's security services and allies are afraid of him, leading them to mislead him about the realities on the ground in Ukraine.

He said: "It's still this old problem that people are afraid to tell him the truth. Particularly, the FSB is afraid to tell him truth so he just doesn't know what's going on." Duncan believes that at some point, the point of no return for Russia and the world, Putin's so-called allies would step in, and have him deposed.
