Did they say why they felt Putin needed an excuse to kick them?

Yes, they have bad strategies, and lost a lot of men.

Also this serve Poutine because more and more russian people are behind him now after his speech on tv.

What I mean is, did they say why they felt that Putin needed what looks like a coup attempt to remove them, instead of you know, just removing them.

@snakespm @Frederic fictionalized history but "TURN: Washington's Spies" had the plausible story that General Charles Lee was giving info to the British and Washington intentionally let Lee take lead into the Battle Monmouth as cover for removal rather than let the French, Dutch, and Spanish discover that there was a traitor at the top.

Similarly, King Edward 8th was pal'ing around with Nazis and was moved further and further away until the end war and barred from ever reentering UK.
