They put an economist as defense minister so he can check minutely where the military funding goes.
It’s important that soldiers log their time and expenses on the correct “project”.
they're all grifters - what's the difference?
@@daydays12 What do you think the Military Industrial complex does in the US? 🤔
Shoigu was a construction engineer prior to his military career 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
I think an economist is better than a construction engineer.
It's a good thing he's not a gynecologist like Ursula.
Shoigu: "So...why are you here?"
Girkin: (suppresses a laugh) "Same reason as you, Sergei."
Girkin not robber, and Shoigu not military
Has Girkin already become Secretary of the Security Council or has the information that Shoigu been promoted simply not penetrated your rotten information bubble?
When Shoigu was asked if he would fly to St Petersburg to check on staff there he stated there was absolutely, positively and unconditionally no reason to fly or leave Moscow.
Oh my! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Prigoshin is waiting...
Shoigu and Putin go hunting each year in the Taiga. I think they even have familial relations in terms of being Godfathers. Also, it's basically a promotion.
buddy if anyone had the wagner fella done in, it would have been Shougu himself. thats where the beef was. not with vlad. get a brain or even some cells
@@jeffhicks8428 Can you maybe chill?
*PURE BS.* He's simply old and wanting to retire. He had actually been wanting to retire before the current war even started, but was asked to stay on longer. Now that they're on a winning trajectory, he no longer needs to stay on, and they're letting him go ahead and retire.
So he demoted him by promoting him and replaced him with an accountant.
No, Putin gave him at least half of what he asked for years ago.
Shoigu wanted to retire after the PREVIOUS election.
But Putin asked him to stay on.
Now, he's getting a drastically less stressful job, but is still around to do the job he's been doing VERY well for the last decade.
So, half the retirement he wanted.
I bet he wanted to retire when wagner was marching on moscow.@@DIREWOLFx75
economist not accountant
@@DIREWOLFx75 Putin doesn't "ask" anyone anything. If he was doing his job VERY well then he wouldn't be replaced. If he was retiring, then he wouldn't have accepted (assuming he did) this other role.
@@DIREWOLFx75 " he's getting a drastically less stressful job" Now he have much less temptation to embezzle money spent on the army? That urge to do it was so stressful for Shoigu? 😅
Prigoshin: Shoiguuu!! See you soon! 🤣🤣🤣
Tea or Window?
Shoigu is Putin's close personal friend. No way Putin will be getting rid of him. They will both go down together eventually.
@@saggybawlz
Yep, when the entire world goes down. You won't be alive to see it.

Shoigu may want to avoid windows and private planes.
He replaced all his windows with lcd screens, and takes Uber to work. 😂
Calm down calm down at least he hasn’t started a civil war… yet
Well, it’s not like he is about to testify against any Russian plane construction company, so, he’ll be fine
And tea.
@@karisigurjonsson Ah uber in the US Uber is ran by shadow busters
so far he is lucky for not falling out of a high story window.
thats original. never heard that before. good luck at Wendys today.
I expect they couldn't find the window that was high enough for now lol
Shoigu was caught with his hands in the cookie jar along with the other fella.
What are you talking about? Does any reasonable person doubt that Shoigu and EVERY single other high ranking military official or minister is corrupt? Thats not news, and therefore it shouldn´t be a problem. (in Russia)
Everyone has their hand in the Jar, Putin has both hands in, but he was mad when he heard how much they stole and how much he didn't get 😂😂😂
As russians we re happy with this changes
@@jarbystark
We are too, because now we know things are falling apart in the Kremlin 🤣🤣
F@@A4Natty, isn't with every new administration in the US every position in the government is changing, every secretary of Defense and others are replaced? Does that also mean things are falling apart in Washington?
Spin. It had been widely reported that Shoigu wanted to retire.

Yes ..Shoigu expressed wishes to retire before the beginning of SMO.

@@fresh6993 Promoted. Ha ha ha. For the sake of mother russia?
@@fresh6993 loooool what higher position is their than Minister of defense during the biggest war since world war 2? LOL he's been replaced by an economist! Who was the previous head of the security council? Has anyone ever heard of him? Why is it that Shogu was sent to NK to beg for missiles if it isn't the second top spot? FOOL
@@fresh6993 finding himself lower in position than Medvedev, who resigned as prime minister 4 years ago? I see you are very smart
Thank you for the ongoing coverage!
Shoigu is now part of security council where he is needed while also getting more time off he wanted for years and the economist is now a defense minister because they need to optimize financially. Shoigu was already spending most of his time negotiating with contractors and setting up supply chains. So this seems like a normal move.
Love you some Putin, do ya?
This makes sense but they will never understand lol. They all seem to think Kremlin is this large web of intrigue and conspiracy like some bad guy lair in a movie and not just normal government activity. There is intrigue in the Kremlin, but so has any other government. Why should Russia be any different when it comes to reshuffling government officials? Why do we have to treat it like some big event that actually changes very little on the battlefield?
"Shoigu has been asking for some time off and hes tired, hes been defence minister for years, better give him something else to do instead.
Oh we making Military contracts, better hire someone with business expertise, Belousov seems capable for the job."
Western media and Analysts: OMG CONSPIRACY PUTIN IS PURGING HIS GOVERNMENT.
My thoughts too. If there's anything more important for Russia at this critical moment, it is refreshing their stockpile to reinforce their progress and make the offensive sustainable. Economist DM is there to complement this.
Also taking Shoigu off his post, diffuses the already volatile situation amongst the contemptuous generals and putting the neutral economist on the role means that there will no longer be a throne for them to fight for, quelling the unrest.
@@rodturner6759 Huh? What does that have to do with my opinion about Putin? I'd say the exact same thing whether I hated him or not. It's just rational thinking.
Russia is running low on Soviet military hardware stockpiles of tanks, armored vehicles and artillery. It also can't produce enough to keep up with losses. It makes sense to bring in someone who could improve the supply situation.
Removal of Patrushev is much more interesting than shuffling Shoigu. He has KGB background with presumably strong ties there still, head of the soliviki, and it was KGB(FSB) that arrested Shoigu's deputy. And yet, he is now jobless
Agreed, its very surprising. He’s been one of Putin’s closest allies, former head of the FSB and was rated by people to be probably the second most powerful man in Russia after Putin himself and likely his successor.
What this likely indicates is that this is not just a reshuffle along normal governmental lines.
The war is bankrupting Russia, this is why Putin got the accountant involved
@@foilhat1138 Too old to be his successor, he is older than Vlad. But true that they were close, though he is closer to Shoigu.
He went senile, nothing more-age is getting to him
Its a long tradition that KGB went by-when they are no longer able to do 100%, get silent rid of them
Not to mention he held position that was also responsible for looking over domestic issues-which he failed with recent terrorist attacks and opposition in poor republics of Russia
@@Warrior-lt1kc How long until they get rid of Putin for being senile?

He will either slip away into retirement or disappear altogether.
Shoigu has done his part. He will be given a subtle but powerful role.
He got promoted.
Brother, he literally got promoted.
@@MrOpen2012 not really, that security council is more like a pension for those who knows too much to be removed
@@freedman6590 They are long time friends. Dhoigu wanted to retire before this war started, but Putin asked him to stay to help in war. They went hunting together, i believe their families are friends. Maybe Putin has some bigger plans with this move, but im certain Dhoigu wont be sacraficial lamb.
Guess Putin's windows need cleaning from the outside.
Good luck with that one, comrade.
Shoigu should avoid planes, balconies, stairs, cook himself, wash himself his underwears, check himself the brakes if his car etc.
Do not fly in planes with granates on board otherwise they can scrape him of the plane remains with a shovel
It's likely this is more about arms production than battlefield performance. The role is more of a ministerial than military command role (despite the uniform).
Bear in mind that Shoigu was an engineer, urban planner, and then disaster relief / internal security head, so not really from a military background. He hasn't been visible (and likely not very involved) for perhaps a year. Keeping the role on paper has been his reward for loyalty.
It's likely this is more about arms production than battlefield performance. Belousov's task will almost certainly be to actually put Russia's economy on a war footing.
Certainly Putin at the helm in coordination with the Chief of Staff of the Russian Federation General Garismanov will be looking after the ongoing Special Military Operation and the newly appoonted Defence Minister would be in charge of the Military Industrial Complex. Former Defence Minister Shoigu was elevated and hewill be in oversee the Security Defence Council.
Arms production and battlefield performance are directly connected
That's not true, he was the one they sent to beg for NK missiles and ammo. LOL HE WAS THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE DURING RUSSIA'S BIGGEST WAR SINCE WW2. What are you talking about mate? On a war footing? It already is. Do you mean total war? LOL He's brought in an economist because there haven't been any results and the status quo is unsustainable.
To sum it up the military budget is 6% of gdp so it need an economist to manage that and the war is for generals on the ground not the minister
Try 40% now
@@mrDredd1966 no, iirc that was 40% of state budget. 6% of GDP
@@Hangman11why is the budget 20% of GDP? It's usually in the 30 to 40% range. Thag seems verh low. Is it corruption on s huge scale?
Maybe he refused to press nukes buttons 😂😂
He got promoted not demoted.
Three months later he jumped from the window balcony!
We're devastated to learn that he let go from the balcony he was pushed out of, in 3 months. This action will be completely unforeseeable and unpreventable. We are scheduling our mourning for 3 months from now. Thank you for your future respecting of our privacy as we prepare for this difficult time.

They think he was promoted because of merit based on knowing economics. That's not how it works in Russia
True 😂 he isn’t a good economist
@cory8837 You from Russia or like the many other, is that how you heared it from some shady news source
No he is promoted because of his skin color and gender quotas
Coming from some one who has never been to Russia
Shoigu has transformed the Russian army into something that now the entire NATO bloc cannot overtake in the production of artillery shells and other weapons. Cope harder and continues to try to assemble hypersonic weapons from washing machines you can even ask Ursula von der Lein for advice.
You don’t worry about that!
Rubbish, Shoigu wanted to retire on the past elections, and Putin ask him to stay. That’s on record. Don’t you think that this should be included in your “objective “ report...

Did Shoigu commit are command war crimes actually? Or is that beyond his responsibility as he isn’t at the front line?

Ahahahaah the power and the glory, and then suddenly, “I swear Hon, this never happens, it’s the first time”.
Belousov used to be a singer, back in the 1980s
Those so-called analysts understand nothing
Shoigu wanted to retire after previous election, but Putin asked him to remain.
This removes the stress of being in charge of the SMO, lets him focus on what he's been doing very well for a over a decade, rebuilding the Russian military and the military industry, while still keeping him available.
So, he gets a pseudoretirement while still sticking around and doing the part of his job that he is best at.
Vova enters the chat. "When you're STEALING the military budget an accountant is always better then a builder".
Shoigu looted the defense ministry long enough, Putin had to give another buddy a chance to get their share....
This is Russia, where politics controls big money. Not USA, where big money controls politics.
Looted? Just how delusional are you?
Shoigu has practically exterminated corruption within the military while he's been minister of defense.
AND he's rebuilt the Russian military from the ground up to what it is now.
Which, a French military report last month called "the new gold standard for everyone to aspire to".

Well if Shoigu is as effective for internal security, then won't be long before an uprising.
shoigu is basically on pension. “security council” in Russia does not do anything
That's what they also said when the mutiny happened. Putin is still there...
Wait. You still believe Ukr is winning and Russia failed? 🤣
The Security Council has, in fact, been a sinecure for a long time. Our former Prime Minister Medvedev has been sitting there for 4 years.
An uprising in Russian will be disastrous to the whole world...who would control the nukes if you wish that to happen...
Expert in economy means that he knows how to steal in a way that will be invisible to the public. In fact public will thank him for that.
This is include actually doing thing that money was designated for, and stealing only tips from it, instead of stealing most of the money and failing the order, as it worked for Shoigu's predescessor, Serdukov, or work right now for their Ukrainian counterpart (hence non-existent fortifications of Kharkov region)
Belousov looks delighted about this :D
Peoples' tongues are sharper than knives

Picking an economist to be the defense minister is Putin's answer to NATO's strategy vis-a-vis the Russo-Ukrainian war, which was -- as indicated by Lloyd Austin -- not about helping Ukraine to defeat Russia, but wearing Russia down through prolonged attrition that would cause eventual collapse of the Russian economy. So far, that ain't working.

Boulsov is he a future scapegoat for Russia?
Whyever would Russia want a scapegoat?
They've completely crushed the Ukraine military AND demilitarised both the EU and Nato to such a point that USA has been unable to hold artillery training as normal for 2 years now.
Germany has enough ammunition to fight 2 weeks of war, or 2 days at the intensity of SMO. And just during 2022, Germany lost around 30% of its industry.
UK has no more missiles, its ships are falling apart, a grand total of 38 tanks and would be hard pressed to put more than 38 thousand troops anywhere away from their home bases.
France, lol, they can maybe deploy 20 thousand troops abroad, barely. They have barely any ammo for heavy weapons though.
Etc etc...
The EU is selfdestructing thanks to the sanctions and USA is following roughly the same track, just slower, but at the same time is also reaching epic levels of financial incompetence, for the first time ever spending twice as much as it is getting from taxes, and racking up 1 trillion more in debt every 3 months.
While Russia's economy is doing better than EVER before, civillian industry growing by over 7% in 2023, and overall economy probably went up with around 4%, possibly 5%, final numbers pending.
Russia is crushing the west and will simply because of the wests idiocy very likely end up having to annex all the Russianspeaking parts of Ukraine and possibly all the way forward so the new border becomes from western borders of Kiev oblast to Odessa oblast.
It is easier to make Shoigu a scapegoat now.

@@Bialy_1 " take 10 big cities in 10 days" is like " 3 days to take Kiev" , Just another made up Russian objective by CIA ( General Milei) for NAFO to cope when they're losing.

In an authoritarian state with continuous power struggles you're most powerful and best situated if you command troops.
As head of the security council you don't command troops.
You organize discussions between those that ACTUALLY have that power.

Define "improvement"..
He has done everything right but still hasn't won the war. Yeah, right.
I am looking at a map of Russian captured territory in a thumbnail on the sidebar from 9 months ago and Russia has barely captured any more territory since then. In the meantime I have been keeping up with the daily stuff and it's just been Russia attacking everyday non-stop and almost always being destroyed. They don't know what they are doing. If they knew what they were doing it would have been over in 2 weeks like they predicted it would. They don't know what they are doing because they say "we might just capture kharkiv" one day then "we are going to capture the whole of Ukraine" then "we're going to nuke britain" then "we're just creating a buffer zone".
