My opinion is that Putin knew the nature and timing of the initial Hamas attack against Israel, which is why he timed the Avdiivka offensive to start within 24 hours of it. Aside from creating refugee flows into Europe to assist his authoritarian allies in their next elections,
further fracture civil society in the West and redirect munitions flowing into Ukraine to instead go to Israel, I believe he has another goal. He knew the attack would provoke an IDF invasion of Gaza (which Biden has so far headed off) and that Hezbollah would wait until the IDF
got bogged down in Gaza before launching everything they've got at Israel (what you're currently seeing is probing attacks). Putin is hoping that Israel responds to Hezbollah's full entry into the war with a nuclear weapon directed at either the Bekaa valley or Iran, which he...
will then use as justification to use one against Ukraine. I don't have any inside source on this, it just seems logical based on what we've seen from Russian propaganda since they invaded Ukraine. I think this is also why Biden has worked so hard to prevent a ground war in Gaza.

As half-assed as this coup feels, it's been in the works for years. We'll find out there was significant participation by police forces. The main reason it failed(and it will fail) is that they were never able to generate a controlled opposition to wage fake battles in the street
and they put a lot of effort into that over the years. There needs to be an investigation into the f*ckery that's been committed against the American people when this is over and a whole lot of people need to be banned from police work.
There was nothing particularly secret about the coup - it was a collection of horizontally-aligned factions that had been looking for a leader dumb and reckless enough to get behind. Plenty of journalists and documentarians have been profiling the plotters for years and been like

Thanks for the retweets @pattonoswalt @joshtpm @AshaRangappa_ and @JuddApatow and welcome new followers. I'm not Gen Clark, I'm his son and was only an LT when I left the army. It's important to know this pandemic is merely a consequence of Trump's 1000s of bad decisions...
...of which there will be many more which will weaken our country for decades. People will continue to suffer under his inept leadership, primarily the poor and marginalized, but the pain will extend to all of us. Please help your neighbors, especially the vulnerable. We have...
...harder times coming. While I have your attention, please assist native tribes in our country who are under particular threat from this pandemic. A good starting point to find out where to give can be found in this thread.

The founders of our republic laid out 27 reasons for their revolution against King George in the Declaration of Independence. You would be stunned to see how many of them apply to Trump. Know your history.
"He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good." Take your pick - climate change, Russia sanctions, environmental regulations, continuation of the war in Yemen.
"He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance" - you will not see a single Republican governor address climate change. His administration seeks to overturn California clean air standards and force coastal oil extraction upon the states.
