I love how they were salivating that there would be an actual coup
I wonder how many resources the US wasted rallying it's military to get ready to 'intervene' to protect the righteous coup-ers. Or do you think they're more level-headed than that in the high command?
US military command does appear to be more sober based on the articles they put out, but I'm sure US did burn some assets in Russia during this whole affair. I think the interesting outcome here was that pretty much all of the military and political class showed unity, so it's pretty clear there isn't much coup potential in Russia right now and that the political system is pretty stable.
There's certainly a group of Pentagon generals who are against the war in Ukraine, based on pragmatism mostly. Some will regularly put out reports on how supporting Ukraine is a lost cause, and that it can't be expected to take back any territory. A really small number pushed back against provoking Russia further, at the beginning of the war. Of course, nobody in the administration has taken up their message, and the MSM mostly keep these reports and declarations quiet. So most of them have either chosen to switch their rhetoric or stay quiet.
