Great update. Maybe the only channel that isn’t a cheerleader for either side. I appreciate that you don’t over dramatize video titles and language for clicks.
LMFAO at your complete detachment from reality.
Thanks for the update !
thanks agn bro
Here we go...been waiting for this video as soon as I heard the news. Kremlin politics are confusing for Westerners. Why get rid of Patruschev? I thought he was putin's closest advisor. Very surprising. Where is Gerasimov? Will he be replaced as well? Why is Surovikin flying around lately? He is the man they call upon to fix difficult military problems.
the key thing for me is to find where patruschev is getting posted... they say they will publicize his new position in the coming days. if it is anything related to control of nuclear weapons it will be an extremely ominous sign that the russians have gone all in betrayers of mankind
Patruschev deserves to be fired - he is the one responsible for the Ukraine invasion based on poor intelligence and the stupid plan to try to take over the country with just 200k troops.
Shoigu looked bad because the military was not up to the task but the truth is the he did a good job overall as the military was in even worse shape when he took the DM job years ago. He made many good reforms and improvements. And he did a good job with increasing production during the war.
For me, Shoigu did a better job than Putin concerning the war - Putin's early decisions were terrible. It only got better when Shoigu (and the generals) took more power over the war from Putin.
Putin was being advised by Patruschev at the start - getting rid of Patruschev makes a lot more sense than getting rid of Shoigu.
Anyway Patruschev's son was promoted to one of 12 deputy PMs so everyone saves face.
Putin also has to deal with the fact that many of his top people are now over 70 and really need to retire or take less active roles..... including himself.
One more thing - Russian security services suck hard - esp SVR - If he is not too old to have the energy and Drive, maybe Shoigu can modernise the Security Services like he did the military.
Shoigu has done a great job in every job he had had from Emergency situations to being in charge of Moscow to DM. I dont understand why he gets so much flak. None of the problems with the SMO are his fault - and the good things Russia has managed to do are more down to him than anyone else.
Their strength has been military production - that's down to him. Their weaknesses have been strategy and intel - not his fault. Patruschev was in charge of that.
@@johncale1849 Regardless that is aide was involved in corruption, the change does not necessarily mean being sacked; Putin may think he can achieve two hits with the stone: as you say Shoigu's credentials that brought him to Defense had been his good work at his former positions, and can thus do it there, at least better than Patruschev; while he puts a more economic profile in the Ministry. Not the first time, Putin made a first intent with Serdyukov who came from the Tax Ministry (Internal Revenue Service) whose clashes with the Head of Staff was continous. Now with a performance in the SMO below expectations, their aura has been tarnished, and the time ripe to shuffles and reforms within the military.
Its all about loyalty to Putin. That's why Gerasimov & Shoigu hung around for so long (2012 onwards) particularly during 2+ years of war after so many failures and losses. Putin will tolerate incompetents and corrupt people as long as they are loyal.
Thank you for sharing so many great insights once again

"Strange Russian attack ... which does not make much sense ...".
Even after such a long time, you are still not able to understand that the "main name of the game" is not conquering the territory but attrition - in all its possible variations.
The purpose of the attack is to create a credible threat to which the opposing side must respond by sending additional troops, otherwise they will leave their territory open to advance by relatively small forces at little cost. This weakens the other lines of contact - from which forces are obtained in the short term, and in the long term the Ukrainian ability to renew its manpower and military equipment is exposed to additional stress.
Btw. attrition means: demoralization; wounding; mutilation; killing - any of the above, which incapacitates the opponent for further combat.
Wishful thinking...
@@robinhoodhimself Well, Budanov just stated that Ukraine has run out of reserves. So it can be said that my opinion is based on publicly available data and not on my wishes.
Changing less competent persons with more competent persons seems like a reasonable idea.
thanks for video - there was also BBC News article saying Ukrainian Fortifications didnt exist in that area
Ha ha ... wankers are getting a reality check. Or as Dominic says - Z fucked us all.
Yay 2nd it’s 5am here goodnight
Good Morning. For when u wake up.
The important question is: Where is Nikolai going???
Unfortunately, I didn't watch this May 12, 2024 video until today (May 15, 2024). Hopefully you have some ideas of strategic plans of "Group North" or symbol "X over diamond" now and a new video is coming soon!
I suggest watching the interview with harold kujat(former head of the nato military committee, formally the most powerful position in nato)
Watching all these op-eds and interviews from supposedly knowledgeable pen pushers from years gone b, Is not gonna make you anymore capable of guessing where this conflict is going or knowledgeable.
@@More_Row did you even watch the interview?
@@connor1414 no of course he didn't, I did though it was quite interesting, great recommendation!
Have anyone considered probability that Ukrainian line is pulled back on purpose because they have plans if attacked ?
The line is rolling back on the western section significantly but on the eastern side it's barely bulged.
Yes, that’s possible. But it’s also possible the Russians know that.
@@229andymon Maybe, maybe not. Who knows.
It is not the first intent by Putin to place at the top of Defense, a person with a high economic background. His predecessor in this sense was Serdyukov, who came from the Tax Ministry. He was not a low profile guy, rather an action man, so clashes with the Head of the Chief of Staff was inevitable. The old school general pretended he attend boot camp to become acquainted with the military, and Seryukow retaliated an audit on the fit for service situation of the upper echelons. Although backed by Putin, the time then was not ripe due to the military's then strong profile. Now with the military not having had a stellar performance, Putin may deem it adequate to also push for internal reform, and do what the US did in the period prior to WWII: "get rid of the old wood" (WWI mentality officers) and promote new chiefs with more innovative ideas (Patton, Bradley, Eisenhower, Nimitz ...). In ths case probably those still clinging to more than the Soviet military doctrine which intrinsically was not bad, and the West also borrowed concepts from it; but the Soviet way to behave.
We are two year in the war??? He is a bit late, don't you think.
Thank you.
Interesting to see, if russia is capable of doing in Kharkiv, what Ukraine failed to acheive in Belgorod.
There are 10 deputy ministers of defence, it doesn't mean what it means in the west, he was not second in command.
Just talking to your own hand dude
Who's fired?
There was no window available and he does not smoke...
Hobart 16 degrees, mostly cloudy, but not as cloudy as Shoigu's future!
Shoigu is the new Secretary of the Security Council - on paper that is a promotion from the position of DM. It is technically the 2nd or 3rd most powerful position in the Country.
Shoigu is the second most powerful/popular politician in Russia - and he is popular with Russia's allies. Putin cannot fire him.
He has been in the Cabinet since the early 90s. He was one of the people responsible for Putin coming to power in the late 90s. He is the founder of the biggest political party in Russia.
People say he is close friends with Putin - but I think its a "business marriage".
I also think he did a great job of DM - considering the state of the military when he first he took the job.
Haahahahahahargrieves with its usual infantile nonsense
@@johncale1849Shoigu wanted to retire 3 years ago but stayed on at President Putin's request.
General G has 25,000 well armed and equipped men under his exclusive control. Kady man is his main competition. Putin used each other to the other in check. Putin still has total control of the RGV. Last estimates RGV is 375,000 strong. This is a partial list of the players. NRA (national Republican Army) remains a wild card. They're more or less an umbrella group that's are signature of the Irpin Agreement.
@@paulrasmussen3858 They all want to retire - even Putin.
Only in the West people think they are a power mad group. Putin and his inner circle did a great job rebuilding Russia and most of them now want to retire. Lavrov, Shoigu, Putin and others who are not so famous.
Many of them are now over 70 and are tired from being big jobs for 20-30 years straight.
