For its part, the Kremlin strenuously rejected the U.S. assessment and its intimations of internal discord, with Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying on Thursday that “neither the State Department nor the Pentagon possess the real information about what is happening in the Kremlin, ” according to the Associated Press.

“It is not just regrettable, it elicits concern, because this complete lack of understanding leads to erroneous decisions, tragic decisions that could have very bad consequences, ” he warned.

Hmmm, Of course it could have "tragic decisions that could have very bad consequences.” Putin's Ministry managers could very well be "accidentally" poisoned.

If Putin loses this war in Ukraine then Belarus might face a stronger resistance movement and Putin could lose there too.

Isaiah 2
2 In the last days

the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established
as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,
and all nations will stream to it.
3 Many peoples will come and say,

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He will judge between the nations
and will settle disputes for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore.
