June 30th, 2026: Could Putin Actually Be Overthrown?

Listen Later

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

  • Could Vladimir Putin actually be overthrown? Mike Baker examines the foundations of the Russian president's grip on power, from the loyalty of the security services and military to the influence of oligarchs and competing political factions.


    • We explore why so many predictions of Putin's downfall have failed over the past two decades, what the Wagner mutiny revealed about the stability of the Kremlin, and what it would realistically take for a successful challenge to emerge.


      • Finally, we assess the most likely scenarios that could eventually bring an end to Putin's rule—and why a palace coup may be far more plausible than a popular revolution.
