@@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.

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? 😅

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?

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.

@@karisigurjonsson Ah uber in the US Uber is ran by shadow busters

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.

Source: Trust me bro. 😎

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

@@bonnie7898 Because he can help and they very much wanted his help. Duh. Same with Lavrov.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. Shoigu just lost influence and security guarantees. He should stay away from tea and windows.

@@handler581 Oh yes the plan to take 10 big cities in 10 days is working so well...They took one of the 10 cities and already abandoned it as they were forced to move back behind Dniepr river. They have all the "new territories" with zero infrastructure on them and this is important because Russia lacks undeveloped land so much? 90+ % of its territory is underdeveloped, there was pipe conection of Russian gas to the Itally and in the same time you only needed to move 100km from Moscow to have small cities and vilages that are not conected to this pipe system to this very day! Hard truth? 😅 Germany during WW1 was able to kick Russians out of the war and were never kicked out of the "new territories" in France... they literally capitulated when the front line was not deep into French territory... Putin is hiring people like you to pretend that it is all going well and in the same time we see Russian T-55 tanks in Ukraine because no more T-72 left... not to mention T80 or T-90 or all the constant spaming by people like you about T-14 Armata and how supperior it is in comparison to every other tank on this planet. Another hard truth? 😅

@@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. Russia don't " take" land because it needs " undeveloped land" , they take those land because the land is inhabited by Russians living on it and Russia is obligated to protect Russians that are oppressed anywhere in the world.

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.

@@maritaschweizer1117 yes unless Russia has something heinous planned that Putin doesn’t want shoigu to take the blame for. Easier to blame a new guy than someone you have had around for a long time.

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".
