Putin Is Preparing to Flee When Russia Implodes, Ex-Aide Says

[Zorro]

“The leader’s entourage has not ruled out that he will lose the war, be stripped of power, and have to urgently evacuate somewhere.”

Russia’s Vladimir Putin and his cronies already have a plan in place to flee the country once things go sideways, a former aide to the Russian president has claimed.

Abbas Gallyamov, a former speechwriter for Putin, made the astounding claim on Telegram early Wednesday, citing an unnamed source that he said had “insider” information on the whole affair.

The evacuation plan, according to Gallyamov, got underway back in the spring, when it was unofficially dubbed “Noah’s Ark.”

“As the name implies, it’s about a search for new land to go to in case it becomes completely uncomfortable in the homeland. The leader’s entourage has not ruled out that he will lose the war, be stripped of power, and have to urgently evacuate somewhere,” Gallyamov wrote.

Putin’s inner circle first considered a plan to evacuate to China, Gallyamov said, but later thought better of it, fearing the chances of “cooperation” from the Chinese were slim, especially since they despise “losers.” Now, he said, the focus has shifted to either Argentina or Venezuela, with Putin ally Igor Sechin currently overseeing an evacuation plan for the latter country.

1. Can He Take Trump With Him?

And what will poor Eddy Snowden do....

[PortTack]

43. Yes..take tfg and could ya hurry up about it!

[Irish_Dem]

2. Putin is KGB to his core, of course he has evacuation plans.

And safe spots where he can hide.

[A HERETIC I AM]

4. Define "safe" in the age of stealth drones

Not sure where he could go that would leave him untouchable.

[Irish_Dem]

25. He is the richest man in the world.

And has extensive experience with evacuation plans.

I assume he has fully equipped hidey holes all over the world.

It would be easy for him to fake his death, get some plastic surgery and live quietly somewhere.

[StormKing]

28. In 1945 the richest man in the world...

... could probably disappear as well as his money. Now? Ain't happening. He might get away for a few months, but his resources will get caught and taken until he's penniless and his entourage, unpaid, will flee.

[Irish_Dem]

31. $400 billion buys a lot of options.

And he has his cash well hidden.

He may get caught yes.
But I don't think he'll go easy.

[StormKing]

81. Oh it won't be easy but...

.... he's done f*cked with Jews. And they are still hunting Hitler's people down. Putin will hide, it'll be good, but once they start closing in his money will disappear, his options will dwindle and they'll get their hands around his neck physically. Even if he kills himself first.

[A HERETIC I AM]

77. Speculation.

He is the richest man in the world.

Any proof to that? Sure he has swiped a buttload of money, but The Richest?!? Bit of a stretch, I'd say

And has extensive experience with evacuation plans.

Really? Is he like some sort of a James Bond type that has a complete understanding of every possible scenario that might be thrown at him? Able to fly a helicopter one minute and an airliner the next? Ridiculous. He ain't superman.

I assume he has fully equipped hidey holes all over the world.

Another Really?!? How many other people like him have hidey holes all over the world?

It would be easy for him to fake his death, get some plastic surgery and live quietly somewhere.

So now we're into the realm of a Hollywood Movie script. Got ya.

He can hide for a while, but as I said below, if someone is determined to get to him, he won't have any luck at all in staying alive for long.

[Justice matters.]

52. Maldives. Bora Bora. Fidji's...

Lots of isolated spaces to go with millions of $$$ (converted before the illegal invasion and stored in Swiss banks I'm sure).

Also, lots of crowded spaces, like Dubai, UAEs, SA (but a little too hot to my tastes).
Just don't use real names in communications.

[A HERETIC I AM]

76. None of those places are "isolated" anymore.

I can order up flights to all 3 of those places in 2 minutes on Google.

I just don't buy the idea that he can truly hide if someone, be it a government or pissed off Russian he betrayed, really wants to unalive him.

Someone could poison his Mai Tai in Bora Bora pretty easily, and a Submarine can put a strike team undetected on any island you can possibly think of.

[grandpamike1]

66. Exactly

Osama Bin Laden, thought the same thing, as did Saddam Hussein, but you will be found and destroyed.

[mitch96]

73. Yup. Remember Zawahiri was hit on his porch in Kabul by a drone... Be vewe vewe afwaid....nt

[SheltieLover]

6. Of course

[2naSalit]

3. Not really a...

Big shocker, he's the kind who will run. Hope he's intercepted if he does try to.

[Sogo]

5. Maybe he and his buddy Trump will rendezvous in Venezuela,

but, sheesh, I'd personally feel much better if it was in a different hemisphere (or galaxy)....

[SheltieLover]

7. How about a different dimension?

[Sogo]

10. Next Stop - The Twilight Zone!!

"You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop—The Twilight Zone."

[SheltieLover]

12. I think they should be cell mates.

Twilight zone is great, too.

[The Roux Comes First]

27. "And They Can Leave Their Belts On"

[SheltieLover]

29. Sure.

Tfg would drive pootin nuts & pootin would not pay any attention to tfg because he would no longer be of value.

The 50th circle of hades for both of them!

[StClone]

13. I hear Pluto is nice

[SheltieLover]

16. Yes! Saturn, too!

[Sogo]

19. Goin' Back to Saturn....

Packing my bags, going away
To a place where the air is clean
On Saturn
There's no sense to sit and watch the people die
We don't fight our wars the way you do
We put back all the things we use
On Saturn
There's no sense to keep on doing such crimes
There's no principles in what you say
No direction in the things you do
For your world is soon to come to a close
Through the ages all great men have taught
Truth and happiness just can't be bought or sold
Tell me, why are you people so cold?
I'm
Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow
Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow
On Saturn
People live to be two hundred and five
Going back to saturn where the people smile
Don't need cars 'cause we've learn to fly
On Saturn
Just to live to us is our natural high
We have come here many times before
To find your strategy to peace is war
Killing helpless men, women and children
That don't even know what they are dying for
We can't trust you when you take a stand
With a gun and bible in your hand
And the cold expression on your face
Saying give us what we want or we'll destroy
I'm
Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow
Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow
On Saturn
People live to be two hundred and five
Going back to saturn where the people smile
Don't need cars 'cause we've learn to fly
On Saturn
Just to live to us is our natural high
It's my dad birthday
I'ma stop on J
Don't do that (let her go first)
Let her go first, please let her go first (let me go first, go 'head)
Alright, let Alwatta go by herself
Okay, then we gon' take turns
Alright
Strawberry, shortcake, cream on top
Tell me the name of your sweetheart
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P
Paul, oh, Paul

[SheltieLover]

20. I'd never heard that one & I love Stevie Wonder!

Ty for sharing!

My fav Christmas song is by Stevie! One radio stations never play:

Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas we'll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care
Whoa, someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
When all men are equal and no man has fears
One shinning moment one prayer away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart, yeah
whoa, yeah
(Someday in a world where men are free)
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime

Thx for sharing!

[calimary]

53. And Mercury or Venus. Nice 'n' warm!

[SheltieLover]

54. True

[Sky Jewels]

58. Elon can take Putie & Chump to Pluto in his penis rocket!

Maybe Ye can come with.

[SergeStorms]

61. But ONLY...

after I do the pre-flight check. Sure, you're cleared to take off now.

[Sky Jewels]

63. Ha ha!

"Uh, my bad. I'd meant to tighten that one screw."

[SergeStorms]

69. Many more than a single screw.

I believe in redundancy. 😉

[lpbk2713]

8. I would LMAO ...

if when the time comes and he arrives at his "sanctuary" he finds himself under arrest for war crimes.

[SheltieLover]

15. From your keyboard to karma's ear!

[UTUSN]

9. Will leave SNOWDEN behind, no sense of obligation.

[StormKing]

30. Snowden will be safe...

...the next regime will want him alive.

He'll have a job at the Gremlin soon enough.

Oh did I misspell that?

[dweller]

11. How about in Hell , pootie

“ have to urgently evacuate somewhere “ … if this were a game of Clue , it would be ‘On the staircase , in your trousers ‘

I’ll settle for Hell

✌🏻

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. Wake me when his money and ruthlessness cease to protect him.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

17. I was kinda hoping he'd evacuate to hospice myself (nt)

[ornotna]

18. Can't happen soon enough.

[moondust]

21. Suggestion...

[Trueblue1968]

22. SEND Putty to the MOON with Donald Rump !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[greatauntoftriplets]

34. Or to Mars with Elon Musk.

They should take drumpf too.

[grumpyduck]

23. Siberia would be appropriate.

[magicarpet]

24. If Putie's health problems are to be believed,...

.... he will need more than a bottle of aspirin to keep his body going. More stability and less travel might be better results for his medical team.

One would hope that in advancing years,... Putie is not inclined to making rash moves in the Ukraine War zone so he can cement his warmonger legacy as the victorious tactician of the battlefield.

If he gets desperate or backed against the wall he might be inclined to look more favorably upon nuclear weapons in a more dangerously cavalier way - to induce a cease fire or surrender by Ukraine to the "Russian Motherland".

Desperate and deranged people do desperate and deranged things.

[Justice matters.]

59. Defense Dept. regularly warn him and/or his military entourage to refrain from using nukes.

By phone or by text comms.

No suspicious moves get detected by surveillance satellites.

To start using nukes, even tactical, means nobody knows where that will lead, when that will end and in which condition the human race as a whole will be left when that will end.

[lindysalsagal]

26. I really thought this was the onion....

Love the sound of this. Wear down the Ukrainians? Nope.

[barbtries]

32. maybe he and trump can meet up

on some faraway deserted island and trump can kiss putin's ass all the way to hell.

[tinrobot]

33. I doubt Argentina would take him.

I suspect he'll be stuck in North Korea.

[peppertree]

90. Indeed they wouldn't. They have laws against asylum for those committing human rights atrocities.

Something we could definitely use (especially in Miami).

[jerseyjim]

35. He should go where he is not WANTED as a war criminal.

Where would that be?

[aeromanKC]

36. Putin will be easy to find

Just follow the soiled diapers.

[LiberalFighter]

37. Would any country want to risk providing him safety?

They would need to consider he might want to overthrow their government.

[ThoughtCriminal]

38. Argentina?

[Vogon_Glory]

39. Sorry, but I'm trying to imagine Vladimir Putin

Taking up residence in Caracas.

He’d definitely feel out of place.

[Traildogbob]

40. Mardi-Lardo will take him.

[world wide wally]

41. Mar A Lago?

Bedminster.... Bumphuk?

[KS Toronado]

42. Why doesn't lil donnie invite his boss to Mar-A-Lardo?

[onetexan]

44. holy crap the end is nigh for Pootie & his team?

can't happen soon enough.

[Yavin4]

45. Why do history's villains flee to Agrentina?

Argentina should be asking themselves this question.

[peppertree]

55. In the 1940s.

Have you ever visited the Highway 78 corridor between Carlsbad and Escondido?

Thousands of them; their descendants will (after a few beers) proudly tell you about their Oma's and Opa's SS past.

And yes, they're mostly Republicans.

[uponit7771]

75. +1,

[peppertree]

91. You've never heard of Operation Paperclip, I take it.

Thousands of Nazis - many of them experts in any kind of crime against humanity you can imagine, plus money laundering, extortion, etc.

A lot of them ended up in the Carlsbad/Escondido, CA, area. And yes, their descendants are mostly Republicans.

[japple]

46. Got nowhere to run; nowhere to hide

[madinmaryland]

47. There's a small dacha waiting for him in northern Siberia where he can spend his days...

Pounding snow.

[IronLionZion]

48. Plenty of Nazis headed to South America when they started losing the war

Maybe they'll catch him like they did with Eichmann https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Eichmann#Capture

[Chainfire]

49. If Putin loses power, I suspect his "evacuation" will be to the grave.

[Buckeyeblue]

51. Yes. My guess is it will be quick, unexpected and to the back of his head

Putin will die thinking he still controls Russia. Doesn't sound like a bad way to go.

[WarGamer]

50. the Onion? Pretty silly...

[Xolodno]

60. There is probably always an exit plan for every leader in the world.

But disgruntled ex-aides, etc. will spin it to get media time and capitalize on it.

And people buy it. Remember the story about Putin falling down and crapping himself. It was largely accepted and lauded by a number despite the dubious source and even the CIA stating awhile back that Putin was entirely too healthy.

General Miley acknowledged that the casualty ratio is pretty much 1 to 1, you never know it reading here.

[Hamlette]

56. I suspect all presidents do, even in times of peace. Just in case.

[Kennah]

57. Book him a flight to the Deutsche Demokratische Republik

[Warpy]

62. That window of opportunity closed a long time ago

It shut when those columns of tanks heading for Kyiv got turned into columns of smoking scrap metal and when most air space was closed to Russian planes.

Now the Russians know that Ukraine is willing and able to strike deep into Russia and they're not safe any more because of Putin's war.

Give that one a while to sink in and there is no way he's going anywhere, not even welded into a chipping container or stuffed into a locker on an oil tanker. It's just not going to happen.

Dictators always think they can skedaddle just before the shit hits the fan. This is wrong because they are incapable of recognizing the moment the shit gets too near the blades and are egocentric enough to think only they can stop the process once it starts.

It's why so many meet violent, grisly ends.

[indigoth]

64. I'm very curious.

How would anyone, outside of putins inner-most circle, have access to this kind of information.

[Warpy]

68. Same way I know of Peter Thiel's fantasy about hopping on a motorcycle

and weaving his way through traffic running away from nuclear Armageddon, AR-15 stripped to the handlebars, to where his private jet was all fueled up and waiting for him, the pilot not daring to take off before he got there and the bike and the jet still operational despite multiple electromagnetic pulses.

They can't help sharing their master plans with people around them who don't have access to things like private jets.

[msfiddlestix]

78. What happened to his SeaSteading Fantasy?

He and Patre Friedman (Milton Friedman's grandson) planned it out for years.. I thought it was a thing that ame to fruition.

I haven't checked in a long time.

They had it all figured out, down to the minting of their money. to be floating in the San Francisco Bay, dumping their shit in the sea using up our energy resources, but yeah an independent and free sovereign city, state, country

[Warpy]

85. French Polynesia sank it

Turns out a bunch of rich Randhorrhoids weren't very good neighbors.

[msfiddlestix]

87. LOL!.

[Historic NY]

65. He got a 'ratline' to escape...how very Nazi of him

where will he go So. America, No. Korea.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

67. This sounds a lot like the last two years of

"Trump is toast! He's about to be indicted!"

People here have also predicted endlessly that he will flee the country.

Sorry, I don't believe either man will do such a thing.

And I'm tired of waiting for Trump to face real consequences of anything he's done.

[edbermac]

70. Hope he's captured and returned to the Ukraine.

And joins his buddy Saddam.

[republianmushroom]

71. like

[msfiddlestix]

72. What does it mean when Russia Implodes, I wonder?

What exactly are we to understand by the meaning of an Imploding Russia?

Like there's going to be some sort of new Bolsheivick style revolution or perhaps people storming the Kremlin with their pitchforks?

I don't think the people are armed like people here are. Though I guess I could be wrong, I was under the impression that guns were illegal among civilians at any rate.

Used metaphorically, I don't see an imploding Russia. I know that from time to time, there were protests in Moscow, but they have been severely crushed by Putin's security forces and imprisoned. At least that was my understanding from the occasional reading in the past few years.

I remain curious..

[Torchlight]

74. Anywhere in the world, he will found and he will be Trotskyed

Too many broken people, broken families and broken hearts lie at the feet of this guy. No way he'll last more than a year or two before someone finds the weak spot, exploits the leverage, and gets to him.

[roamer65]

79. North Korea.

That is about the only place that would take him at this point.

[maxsolomon]

80. Horseshit.

Putin's not going anywhere. He has nowhere to go unless it's Belarus.

[TomSlick]

82. A autocratic kleptocrat should always do to things:

Stash assets in foreign accounts and have a plan for a quick escape.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

83. Keeping tacit approval of war among population likely to be 'increasingly difficult for Kremlin.'

This war is becoming increasingly unpopular in Russia and Putin is worried

[FakeNoose]

84. He's not coming here, that's for sure

He'll probably try to get to Switzerland where his girlfriend is hanging out with his children and a lot of his money.

[Kennah]

86. He should go out with a bang, like Gaddafi, riding a bayonet dildo

[genxlib]

88. It's funny that the enablers think they are going with him

When he pulls the ripcord, the only people who have a ticket to ride are the ones he needs: body guards, money launderers and private chefs that won’t poison him.

Everyone else will be left to take the fall

[yellowcanine]

89. I hear there is a spider hole available in Iraq....
