Putin has effectively fired his hunting buddy Sergei Shoigu as defense minister. He is being replaced by an economist with no military background. What could possibly go wrong?

Vladimir Putin has removed his longtime ally Sergei Shoigu as defence minister in the most significant reshuffle to the military command since Russian troops invaded Ukraine more than two years ago. In a surprise announcement, the Kremlin said Andrei Belousov, a former deputy prime minister who specialises in economics, will replace Shoigu. Putin, who was sworn into his fifth term as Russia’s leader earlier this week, proposed that Shoigu take the position as head of Russia’s powerful security council. It is currently led by Nikolai Patrushev, a hawkish former spy and one of Putin’s closest advisers. Shoigu, Russia’s longest-serving minister, assumed leadership of the defence ministry in 2012 after his tenure as the emergency services minister. He has been leading Russia’s military through its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began in 2022.

That Russian 3-day "special operation" in Ukraine is now in Day 809.

Russian losses in Ukraine make Soviet losses in Afghanistan seem like a day at the beach.

Shoigu must have had an especially difficult time explaining to Putin how a country with no conventional navy managed to sink 26 Russian warships as well as a submarine.

Ukraine is not just playing defense. It continues to hit oil installations and other heavy industry deep inside Russia. At the very least, that looks embarrassing for Russia.

Media: Drones attacked Russia’s Volgograd oil refinery, Kaluga oil depot, Lipetsk steel mill

Of course Putin himself has only himself to blame for this military fiasco. His unhinged desire to restore the decrepit Soviet Union in all but name is the real cause of this ongoing disaster.

A friendly reminder to Am Yisrael: there has never been a political leader that has been the cause of Jewish success. No government has ever single-handedly saved the Jews. It has always been up to us to take care of Am Yisrael. Our miracles are our miracles. We are the reason we have survived and thrived. Please vote but don’t ever think that our security can be guaranteed by anyone but the tribe.

this phrase of "bombing them back to the stone age" is frankly bloothirsty, completely genocidal and appaling and I never heard someone use it unironically outside of a comedy movie general

But then I thought, did I really never heard it before? No, it isn't the first I heard it, it sounded like a very Usamerican stock phrase, so I looked it up...

Explains a few things.
