#Putin #Russia #Ukraine
These people are delusional..smh
Yes, Ruzzuns are delusional. "We will take Kyiv in three days".... Ruzzun state TV. "NUKES IF You give Ukraine".... M777s. ok then if you give them Abrams. Ok then if you give them Bradleys. Ok then if you give them HIMARS. Ok then if you give them ATACMS. Ok then if you give them all that ammo and more Javelins. Ok then if you give them F-16s........ and so on.......
Propaganda at its best
So Shoegoo wasn't replaced by a banker?
@@onetrickpony4179it is not about was he it‘s about why was he!!
President Putin moving a few chess pieces around and the mainstream media jumps on it like a female dog in heat.
What a pile of lies!
Whatever you do in your excuse for reporting, don't mention that the Kharkiv region is a major oil and gas pipeline hub. 🙄
Whatever you do, be sure Putin's sack tickles your chin, Sergei.
In Germany, there is an "idioten test" for obtaining a driver's license.Passed, get your license.If you don't pass, go work for BBC News.
Demotion and now go to the national security boss. All this so called expert are behind every single day
Shoigu is also a civilian with high level technical skills. His successor is also a civilian with high level economical skills and a high level manageral skills. At least Putin has not appointed an old and demented person. That distinguish him from the USA selection people.
NATO is losing, big time. No matter how you guys sling it.
@PatrickjoosJoos
c'est la CIA qui a conduit à la situation que nous connaissons aujourd'hui en Europe, les États-Unis n'ont jamais introduit la paix nulle part, seulement des guerres et des pays ruinés !
those rubles don't go as far as they used to do they?
NATO is not involved, but NATO air power could end this conflict in under 12 hours.
@@davekinghorn9567 what has happened to game changers?
@@gokhanizgi5779 Seems that they have changed the game. And continue to do so.
unironically, maybe a smart move.
Newly appointed Economic War minister to recover russian frozen foreign assets , he knows who to attack.
Doesn't matter, he has no ammo to attack.
He just press the "N" button, that Big thing will fly and do its job.
That money is gone. Now cry.
@kimweaver1252 no ammo? Russia is producing shells at a rate higher than 5:1. Russia makes more shells than all of nato every single day. Ukraine will fall by years end.
@@kimweaver1252yeah, Russia is intensifying their attack because they're running low on ammo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
At some point…..good one grandpa…..if Russia succeeds in its summer offensive then their will be a tsunami of men heading for Western Europe….so not enough men to mobilise
First let's not forget Shoigu asked to resign 2-3 years ago but Putin asked him stay on. So you might call this whatever you want but facts still are just that facts! By creating this kind of a Buffer between The Armed forces and the National defense spending is yet another brilliant move from a brilliant leader and it is absolutely serving its purpose much better and it’s going to be much more efficient under Civilian leadership. Look at any command-and-control structure in the world - Civilian or Military - and what has changed the most in the last 10 years? Answer - All have in one way, or another added a new box at the top structural level called Finance. Perfect example how great leaders evolve. Maybe US might learn something considering that according to Government watchdog - Pentagon still can't find 110 Billons unaccounted for from its 2022 budget
Putin is smart
I'll give him "shrewd"..... as in a rat-in-a-drain smart.
So smart that the Ukrainians have destroyed 50% of his military, there are two new countries in NATO, and the Baltic is now a NATO lake. 😂
@@onetrickpony4179 Nice summation of current events
@@onetrickpony4179 Georgia is in revolt, Belarus may well be in play, Chechnya is about to have a revolution, Transnistria may open another front for Ruzzuh to worry about if Moldova decides that they have had a belly full of the Rooskies there, and half of the other Ruzzun "Republics" are making plans to salvage themselves from the wreckage of Pootie's Russia folly. It's 1991 all over again, only worse.
@@onetrickpony4179 🤣🤣🤣🤣 50%?? I suppose you believe Russia is still fighting with shovels as well
These guys have no idea what they are talking about 😂😂😂
its not unusual to change things up a little. Ukraine does it too
Slow news day...
I wish we had a President like Mr Vladimir Putin.
Yeah where he can just send as many young & old cannon fodders to the frontline fighting for his brutal leadership regime.
Shoigu was so bad in his duties that he only conquered almost 30% of Ukrainian territory if this is to be bad then the United States has not yet been run from Afghanistan and Africa
I'm surprised with this kind of conclusions of Shoigu move out as defense minister; First Putin and Shoigu are friend, second Putin Understand Shoigu needs brake because he is tired of work overload for his age to lead Russians-Ukraine war. doesn't need to much brain to understand it. second Chief of staff Gerasimov he too does need brake because war is going to indefinite times.
And the reason that the war is lasting so long... indefinitely, as you say, instead of three days is because Shoigu and Gerasimov have robbed the State blind leaving the Army in the decrepit state they were in at the beginning of Pootie's aggression.
They are becoming a meritocracy and we are becoming DEI...
Made me laugh out loud many times. Highly recommended watch
I could tell him what's going to happen to their economy for free!
Smart move as economy alongside nuclear is the most powerful weapon.
Lies shoigu was promoted
He replaced him at a time when they making gains! Was that strategic?
It's almost like Patton being releaved from command of the 3rd army😂😂
I hope we don't run out of money before we run out of ukrainians!
Pootie is hoping he doesn't run out of nearly everything painted camouflage, olive drab, and blue before he runs out of criminals and mental patients to put in them.
@@kimweaver1252 you wish. Your globalist war mongers have met their match.
@@kimweaver1252clearly you don't know how numbers work so I'll explain. Russia has about another 6million war aged men. Ukraine has 1million, maybe
@@stevenboddy4232 So what? Do you think having six times more incompetent, unmotivated, and untrained alcoholic drug addicts, cannibals, sociopaths, and malcontents that you have to pay for, occasionally, and supply with materiel, is an ASSET for Ruzzuh? WHO doesn't understand REALITY, Sparky? YOU, that's who..
@@kimweaver1252 bro you need to chill out on the deep state memes. I heard you typing that. Calm down bucko. You should call the leaders up. Tell em "guys let me handle it, I'm a RUclips commenter"
Before the presidential election, the government resigns and a new one is put together by the new elected president, that is what happen, how is that "unexpected government shake up"🤣🤣🤣
Shoigu was suppose to retire 3 years go and stayed longer because..ukraine, now he got promoted to the security council, just like the new MOD Shoigu is not a military guy he is a logistic manager hence no shortage of food, cloth, arms, bullets, new weapons, trench diggers equipment........
Noted.
The appointment of an economist to such a crucial position suggests that Putin may be prioritizing financial management and efficiency within the defense sector. This could signal a shift towards a more economically driven approach to military planning and resource allocation, which could be influenced by factors such as budget constraints or the need to modernize and streamline military operations.
However, this decision could also raise concerns about the defense minister's lack of traditional military experience and expertise. Critics may question whether an economist is adequately equipped to address complex defense issues, including national security threats and military strategy.
Furthermore, the timing of this appointment amid concerns about weapons and resources underscores the importance of effectively managing Russia's defense capabilities in the face of evolving security challenges. It may indicate Putin's recognition of the need to address shortcomings within the military and ensure that resources are utilized efficiently to maintain Russia's defense capabilities.
Overall, Putin's decision to appoint an economist as defense minister reflects a strategic approach to addressing concerns about weapons and resources within the Russian military. However, it also raises questions about the potential implications of this unconventional appointment for Russia's defense strategy and national security posture.
So a cut n slash guy, got it.
I reserve my comment. We will see whether he can do his job or not.
It will be interesting to see what happens when Putin's economist tells him that the Ukraine war will never show Russia a profit.
Actually Russia has profited some 10trillion dollars during the war so far.
@@slo3337 that might be what russian propaganda states, but you can't make money from the destruction of so much equipment and infrastructure.
@@slo3337 Really? So how have they benefitted from this windfall? How much will it cost them to just replace the Black Sea fleet? How about replacing the thousands of tanks lost? Or the more than 300 aircraft or more than 300 helicopters? Why are they paying off the families of a FEW of the hundreds of thousands of KIA with crappy Ladas, bags of onions, fur coats, sacks of potatoes, and checks for 4 dollars (400 rubles)??? Explain that.
When I want to replace my top military person, I get an Economist, that makes sense.
It makes sense when you realize the military part of this war is coming to an end and Putin is appointing an economist to take them to the next phase.
Understand?
Ukraine doesn't have much of an army left
its been two years almost three and no matter what happens it is always going good for Russia, I wish to be as blissful as you, everything always perfect and good.
Its about to be wrapped up in July or August
What's the current population in Ukraine? There is the Ukraine 🇺🇦 Military.
I know. This ambassador doesnt have a clue what he is talking about.
@@J.Shabazz do you promise?
ДОВОЕВАЛИСЬ?

Meh, didn't Ukraine do the same a few months ago?
@PatrickjoosJoos nope
Yep, and it's because there wasn't sufficient progress........ so now we can reasonably conclude that Ruzzah is noticing that they aren't making "sufficient progress"...... or rather is FAILING:??? Yeah, that's what the deal is.
I think Shoigu didnt make a good impression... in fact he is not a professional.. the new guy really can do something
The man he replaced is on an airliner that ill make contact with a SAM.....sorry Sergei............
What Bill Taylor smoking? 😮 Somebody stop this flow of BS.
Lies
Bill just step down brother don't you love retirement
Replacing a military man with an economist indicates the military phase of this war is coming to an end.
Next phase: economic development.
That is why - understand?
Maybe the dumbest thing I've read all day.
@@onetrickpony4179 You don't know much, do you?

“Ousted?” You just admitted in your opening line that Shoigu was promoted.
Promoted in quotes. Promoted to a job where he will not do any more damage to the Army, if Pootie is lucky.
@@kimweaver1252 do you even know what the national security council is?
@@ericp1139 It's nothing. Has no ministry attached to it, it's largely an advisory body who is usually a parking lot for incompetent oligarchs and has no authority to implement policy. It's a dickwagging clusterfuck that serves as a consolation prize for idiots who failed upwards.
We need to send a very special custom gift to Putin and let TRUMP deliver it in PERSON .
Ukraine?

Dumb and dumber!!
In times of war to minimize curruption defense minister need to be economist ! Thats call smart move

She threw the coke vendor under the bus 🤨it was HIM wasn't it? 😅No? But thanks for the ego boost
Why do you guys continue to report as if Ukraine has any chance in the world of winning this war. We need to pull all funding from this disaster.
@JohnChimpo69 The answer is very simple. Simple minded people believe simple things.
If you spread Putin propaganda your only making more certain that NATO an organization set up to make Us and Europe safe has to step in to halt Putin's aggression and yes America will also have to step in or if elected Trump could surrender to his buddy Putin.
I’m sure you’d be saying the same thing if the Russians invaded the US. 🤡
Here is why we KNOW Ukraine will win this. Ruzzuh has had two and a half years to win a two week war. And are worse off now than they were then. Add into the mix that the level of lethality of the weapons Ukraine's allies are supplying is only INCREASING, as most of Pootie's real army has been turned into fertilizer. Ukraine's own military industrial complex is expanding and hardening up. Sanctions are killing Ruzzuh. The internal politics are getting much murkier, as the "Federation" is crumbling. Shoigu GONE. Wagner essentially absorbed into the Ruzzun army. You can smell the desperation. They are going to be battling insurgencies throughout the neo-USSR for the next couple of years, AT LEAST.
Because Ukraine is winning the war and will win the war. They have learned the lesson of Afghanistan...... the indigenous people have no where to go..... so they stay and fight, go underground and fight as a resistance army, killing Rooskies wherever and whenever they can. Rooskies have the option to leave. Ukrainians don't. This is without considering the giant surge of US military materiel which is on the way with some of it already in place. F-16s later in the year, but a lot of Bradleys are either there or will be there shortly and they terrify the Roooskies who have been up against them and managed to survive. ATACMS are flowing now. More Patriot systems are coming from Europe. It looks like a deal has been struck to get more than 2 million 155mm projectiles and perhaps another 1.1 million on top of those. Meanwhile, Ruzzuh is trying to revive T54 and T55 tanks. Just pitiful.
It was most foolish on the US side to bring the NATO threat and war, as a result, to the Russian border and Crimea. As it would have been foolish from the russian side to do the very same at US Mexican border
Orc propaganda
NATO has never attacked or invaded another nation. Pootie and the USSR? Lots of times. Listen to their state media...... they are talking about marching to the Atlantic and killing everybody they run into, taking all the Baltic States back by force, even claiming that Alaska, Hawaii, and California are theirs to take since some Ruzzun once walked on the land there. They think that the sale of Alaska to the US should be voided........ a couple of hundred years later. Idiots.
Putin needs a bean counter to make sure his capos aren't skimming more than his share of the defense budget.
Nice one!
Ha,ha,ha...you bez stu...
They're already outproducing ALL 32 NATO countries by themselves.... And it's only going to get better

The bold face lies about Ukraine winning that continue to this day ought to teach us lessons but sadly it will not.
WHATEVER SURE 🤣
If I was Putin I wouldn't want missiles coming deep into Russia... He might draw the line there. I hope that Trump is in office before that happens.
he's talking about ATACMs as a new capability for Ukraine, which is so very false! They're only getting a few hundred of them over a year. These missiles are unguided and have same characteristics as Ukraine's TochkaU ballistic missiles of which they had one thousand in the beginning of war. They used them up by the summer of 2022 to no effect, as Russian missile shield is used to intercepting such missiles. ATACMS have been now used in several big attacks and proved to be much easier to intercept than the HIMARs short range(50mi+) rockets that were used in past 18 months, of which about 20% still get through the missile defense.
