Yes, desperation is creeping in, for example trying to say Putin did not want to take Kyiv, as desperate ads it gets.
If that is how you deal with Putin's defeat and humiliation in failing to capture Kyiv, then feel free.
There was no CIA coup, that Kremlin "coup lie is simply more fictional Kremlin fairy tales with no basis in fact.
The only panic I see is yours that Putin's war has been, is, and wiil continue to be an abject failure for the time Putin chooses to continue his war. Panic in the Kremlin more like it.
