Sounds like his generals should facilitate a regime change, and put someone competent in charge.
You need competent generals for that. Those were removed by Putin.
Also, "removed" by Ukraine 🤣🤣🤣
International cooperation!
Careful what you wish for. The generals are horny for war too and they just might be less shit at war than Putler is.
Advancement in Russia is loyalty based, not merit based. Anybody who says the mobiks aren't getting the equipment or training they need gets removed/disappeared. A lot of military command does nothing on purpose so they just get shuffled around to a different position rather than excel/fail and put a bullseye on their backs.
They are all yes men without a spine selected by pooptin exactly for those qualities
I agree, but it's not so easy considering the last guy who tried this had his support vanish when Putin threatened the families of the insurrectionists, then blew his plane up.
The generals lack the necessary imagination. Each one can only imagine his own glorious reign and cannot imagine another person ever doing the same. So when something happens to Putin, they can only fight to the death among themselves and their followers. It is what happened in the minds of the most competent generals of Alexander the Great, Leonidas and Genghis Khan. Their nations, relatively law-abiding, stable and prosperous, reverted to (old and familiar) blood soaked chaos within a few years. It will happen again.
