    He didn’t have the support of the people he though he had. The odds of a successful coup were extremely low.

    What is baffling to me is how he didn’t see the obvious target on his back, and continued doing business in Russia like nothing happened. Why didn’t he try to hide?

      He had Russian soldiers, the people meant to stop him, just letting him pass and approach the Kremlin. He shot down a helicopter or two but my guy made it so much closer than anyone has, anywhere. They would have warmed up to him as he pulled their sons home from the war.
