    The Kremlin is bracing for a shake-up of its senior leadership as Putin prepares to use Shoigu as a fall guy for his failings in Ukraine, says author Ian Williams.

    A 'reshuffle'? Is that a euphemism for more people carelessly falling out of ninth floor windows?

    Shoigu's demise is actually very bad news for Ukraine, they might replace him with someone competent

    The look on his face during the event showed a man who has finally realized just how badly he has done, the sheer scope of his failure.

    Wouldn't it be fun if Shoigu shows up in London or Washington with a bunch of documents. I suspect otherwise, but the it would be fun.

    Shoigu was there. He appears very prominently early, practically filling the screen in the Inauguration video prior to Putrid's entrance. I don't know how visible he was later because I didn't watch the whole thing. He was not wearing his normal uniform, he was wearing a light gray uniform about the same color as Göring's Luftwaffe uniform.

    Erm, I saw him in the news footage, unless they showed an historical image for effect...

    I didn't realize that they had held another charade. Meanwhile, his army is dying in Ukraine.

    Do you know the Priest is/was a KGB agent. He recently got a raise from Putin.
