The plan is pretty clear.
Create a disaster by weakening cyber and military defense. In the ensuing grid and communications failure, using a cabal of replacement security and military people, take complete control of the country and hand control to Putin. Hegseth is PURGING THE MILITARY of its leaders. This is a coup in motion.
CALL IT OUT. ITS TREASON. LET PEOPLE KNOW.
WE ARE MANY, AND THERE ARE MANY WHO WILL STOP IT
In Sun-Tzu fashion, knowing the plan prepares loyal people to defeat it.
Exposing it makes people aware, eliminates the "element of surprise", gains opposition to it and encourages courageous people to do the right thing using whatever power they have.
For most of us, its exposing the plan and demonstrating our support of democracy and the constitution.
Cyber and military forces are being purged of loyal people.
Grid failures have occurred in Europe and Bali. These are likely rehearsals by Putin and allies (including his orange useful idiot), as are cable cuttings and drone sideshows.
Previously, I thought this was only to confuse everyone and seize power, but it clearly becomes a plan to put Putin in control, if not office.
Trumps debt to Putin must be enormous. I would guess that its infinitely more damning evidence than a so-called pee tape. I would guess that its an Epstein type event where the P stands for something else.
I previously posted this, and made some minor edits. I may make more.

In a previous post, it was somewhat ambiguous whether those foreign nations would act as adversaries or "Friends of our orange dictator."
It is possible that they would act together, since Trump "left the barn door open" and even that Putin would enter the fray and even turn on his useful idiot. He has a history.
----------
One.
A massive hack (just blame anyone) takes down the entire U.S. internet, water and power plants and government communications.
Key to this is the use of home phones by Hegseth and company. Home phones, despite a secure messaging app like Signal, are trivially hacked to capture the screen, cameras and microphones, making security meaningless.
The rehearsal of the larger hack is the fact that China infiltrated major telcos, which called for emergency actions by Joe Biden. Much of Bidens security directives have been undone, especially by the appointment of clowns, including the recent firing of the head of NSA.
Two
A physical attack is made on the US, given its new clowncar security by cronies with no expertise. These may include a terrorist missile attack on the White House/Capitol/Golf Resort, major cities in blue states, Wall Street. Lax defense leadership, concerned only with DEI, makes this attack an easy one. Hegseth is purging military leaders. This is the precursor to a coup no matter how you slice it or dice it.
Defense? With all the ideologically motivated firings in defense and air traffic control, commercial planes are crashing. Consider air and other defense a sieve.
And with freshly angered enemies overseas (Does the name Iran strike a familiar note?) they overcome their incompetence in combination with lax security, open the door to a quick submarine/land or terrorist cell attack. Cuba? Sure. Submarine? No offense to the Navy and Coast Guard, their calls to Washington are ignored. (on purpose?)
Three
An insider has had enough of the treason and manages to expose some damning evidence. Using AI?
That may include Musks election hacking, the Putin files on his orange Krasnov, or who knows what. Everyone has a conscience inside, despite all efforts to stifle it. This may even include (a takedown of) Putin himself, either through illness or a precision attack on him from any number of enemies.
Enough people, aware of this Putin coup attempt, will stop it in its tracks.
Side note: If you were a former president or VP watching the country being destroyed in a coup, would you remain silent?
I suspect, only if you are building a solid case for removal so solid that cult collaborators in the house and senate would impeach (especially in any of the above scenarios, including treason, which is NOT a proper presidential duty), based on predictable consequences of the current situation. And a practical national recovery. The scenario above may be what Schumer is referring to, though its definitely NOT letting him fail due to incompetence."
But so extreme that impeachment is superfluous. Traitors are arrested and held for trial.
To think about:
Putin might enter the fray and dispense with his useful idiot. He has a history, and the idiot has gone off the deep end lately. Worried????
THE RESCUE. PEOPLE DO THE RIGHT THING
In the third case, people with leverage step in to do the right thing. We can encourage them to do so with speeches, posts, exhortations, calls and messages, and demonstrations. That is our leverage. Our actions may be uncoordinated in a physical power sense, but there is power in our collective will to do good as each can, and encourage resistance to the coup as it unfolds.
There's the true story of Stanislav Petrov, a Russian who received a launch code for a retaliatory missile attack. He alone correctly concluded that the alert was erroneous, preventing a nuclear disaster.

He did the right thing.
Black Swans happen

All the other stuff is a distraction or setting the stage (immigration) for the big excuse to come.

(26,569 posts)But a lot of people ignored both the warnings and the hopeful messages, and believed a bunch of lies and fantasies instead.
People want confirmation of their biases rather than truth, because the truth is that there is inequity and injustice on a grand scale, and it's easier to do nothing and blame someone, anyone. (It usually starts with immigrants)

(24,031 posts)Put Putin in office, in the US?
Putin can barely field an army to fight Ukraine, hes not going to take over the US. Im sure he is quite satisfied with the destabilizing chaos provided by his minion, Donald.
So, is Trump going to issue an EO announcing Putin is the new emperor of the US, or will Putin announce it himself?
Youve been an excellent resource for activism for the DU community, but I fear youve gone down one too many rabbit holes, and perhaps a brisk walk outside in the crisp autumn air is warranted.

(26,569 posts)Fifth column was top issue at the time.
I see Epstein as ultra-critical to the dick-tater now, and am a bit on the fence regarding Putin.
I can see Putin demanding a stand-down of US efforts to counter Russia and that has mostly held, with some plus and minus.
Trump and Putin seem to be in sparring mode right now, I suspect because of the blackmail that Putin has on Trump (illicit poontang, beauty contests and so on, some money laundering, and whatever those two are/were up to) arguing over the price at the previous and now-cancelled second "summit" a.k.a. auction.
All that said, zero of Trump's actions benefit Americans, and 100% seem to benefit Putin, give or take the little bargaining for videos that Putin has.
Of course, a fifth column, "Agent Orange" can do way more for Putin than his crumbling army and power base can, by EO or whatever. ... Crippling the armed forces and cyber defense has a LOT to do with that..
Ethnic purity has nothing to do with defense, It cripples defense. And who benefits?
That's why he hired Krasnov in the first place. But I think that said Jabba the Orange Hutt has more pressing issues to deal with.

(2,142 posts)"Illicit poontang" Trump and friends did one hell of a lot more than get "illicit poontang". They raped, tortured, impregnated little girls, and did God knows what to the babies, and some got to play lovely parts in snuff films. I wish people would stop treating these deeds as boys will be boys, wink wink nod nod.
This seems familiar, did I send you the same response in 2025?

(26,569 posts)Check out the thread.
As I have repeatedly stated, the Trump-Epstein illicit sex, blackmail and money-laundering operation was/is the biggest crime operation in recorded history. So much to include, I opted for brevity.
The other stuff/snuff is an easy extrapolation but the short version is well enough documented.
I actually think that "the good stuff" is being "day traded" by Putin, Musk, Bonesaw, Netanyahu and others, accounting for shitler's shifting fealty.
1WorldHope
(2,142 posts)are saying about day trading the good stuff in your last paragraph.
usonian
(26,569 posts)They blackmail Orange Julius and others.
Why would he be the serial obedient servant of Putin, Musk, Netanyahu, Prince Bonesaw ...
What if they were buying and selling said video or videos with completely damning evidence?
I imagine he has been robbing the treasury to steal enough money to buy the video(s) and destroy them, but the price keeps going up.
1WorldHope
(2,142 posts)too, somewhere. Apparently, victim witnesses aren't enough. That is one of the many sad parts of our judicial system and it's an American tradition to say, "she's lying, little gold digger". It's the opposite of what I thought this country would look like now. And then I wonder, if we ever actually get to the other side of this B S will the people that end up in our new government just act like they heard us, and do the same old shit again?
