On October 5, 2022, former national security adviser John Bolton declared that only “regime change” in Russia can maintain geopolitical stability in Europe. Bolton put forward the idea of funding Russian “dissidents’ ‘ who could forge an alliance of convenience with mid-level officers to topple the government President Vladimir Putin in a coup.

“There is no long-term prospect for peace and security in Europe without regime change in Russia,” Bolton declared in an article titled “Putin Must Go” that was published in the online journal 1945.
