Putin loses ally Shoigu as defence ministers fired over corruption and coup | Maj. Gen. Chip Chapman 

Yes all the bystanders can be insensitive with their "clinical analysis". It is a callous disregard that comes from not seeing the other.

Can't even imagine what it must be like

Cant imagine someone has nazis in his country and doing nothing about it.. you got what you deserve... How sad it is

Ukraine gained independence in 1991. It lost Crimea in 2014. During this entire period Ukraine did nothing to build up defenses. The west knows so Ukraine certainly should that Russia attacks the weak. The government of Ukraine let its people down.

You should kick out your greedy corrupt PM and go for a peace treaty with Russia Nato USA and EU who obey to their US masters fo not care for Ukrainians or your destroyed country but for their geopolitical gain and war profits , they said it fight yo the last Ukrainian!!why are you fighting with Russia? NATO is an agressive organisation we've witnessed what it did to multiple countries, USA is a an hégémonie who want to control exploit all countries. Stop obeying and save your lives -and what it has remain of your country .

Like the funds provided for Ukrainian defence lines and not being constructed.

​@@Robert-xy4xi ah hard at work pushing the script. To be really convincing you trolls should change it up sometimes.

​@@marisabenson1222Where are the defence line construction funds! Why were the shorter defence lines in the wrong place!

@@Robert-xy4xi Pity for your narrative that the Perceptions of Corruption Index ranks Russia way worse than Ukraine.

​@@Robert-xy4xiposteriorly positioned in your nether regions

Exactly, Shoigu is now in charge of Russias entire military industrial complex. Putin probably want's to ensure there is no wastage and corruption as production is ramped up.

We shall see... hope he isn't a Tea drinker or likes balconies

it was sidelined promotion.

He got sidelines, and all his connections are being dismantled. His closest officials have been put in prison….

Doesn't feel like a promotion, but Shoigu was spared as he disappointed Putin, but didn't betray him. They've been long time buddies, taking vacations together.

get your fact straight, the guy was promoted to a different position, not fired.

Read all your comments. Very concensus narrative mainstream arguments. Are you 77th?

@@03056932 You get the Monday graveyard shift at the old troll factory do you ? Your friends earned double money yesterday, so it was full of the old comrades.

@@maitaimik read your comments too. Trump derangement syndrome indeed. Let's do a video debate, we can both record and upload. Unless you're scared..

At least no one in the higher echelons of government. Putin wants you to be part of his system of endemic corruption. Everyone who isn't arrouses suspicion

He should be careful not to get Defenestration.

It's a well known Russian condition called windowphobia, has been know to be fatal many times.

​@@WeejimmySnazberryI was bouta say, he's known to be very clumsy around windows

I would advise him NOT to take tea from anyone at this point

they just make them up. the Times audience doesnt know any different.

Times Radio explains the total crash of Russia for two years already and they will continue to do so. On the other hand Russia is planning the invasion of Western Europe and they will continue to do so. 😂 Interesting because they cannot decide what will happen first. Since all Russians are corrupt it is only logical to assume Shoigu is corrupt as well. 😂

Are you implying Robert McNamara's carefully crafted production line calculus didn't equate to battlefield success?

In the meantime, the replacement of Zaluzhny with another general produced a debacle on the frontline😂😂😂 The Ukrainian commander responsible for the northeastern Kharkiv frontline has been replaced after Russia launched a surprise offensive, a military spokesperson said on Monday. Nazar Voloshyn told RBC-Ukraine media that the decision to appoint Brigadier General Mykhailo Drapatyi to the position was taken on May 11. He gave no reason for the decision. It comes amid reports that Ukrainian defences were “built in the wrong place” to halt Russia’s Kharkiv offensive.😂😂😂

@@a.u.b1 Imagine pretending to be a superpower then being reduced to crowing about staff reshuffles among the neighbor 1/10th your size which you haven't been able to defeat in three years. Jesus christ how embarassing.

@@a.u.b1 But Drapatyi was never Zalushny's replacement.

so Ukraine is winning?

it was sidelined promotion.

No he wasn't

@@roibot1122 - How do you it wasn't a sidelined promotion?

@@chrismckellar9350 There is no such thing as a sideline promotion. That’s called a demotion. For a corrupt mafia state like Russia, any move of personnel away from the money is a demotion.

so you claim the french are great? was that before the ghost of khiev flew to mars or the duck hunter shot down 300% of the incoming missles?

@@rhetorical1488 Comrade 🤡

The guy was demoted to polishing PUTIN 👢 👢 👢 BOOTS..

Underrated

Also it's Shoigu not Shaigo, really not that difficult to get right especially if the person interviewing you constantly pronounced it the right way. Heroiam slava

"promoted" 😅, I hear he's given up drinking tea as well

Lol by stealing a lions share of the contract money

What makes you so sure they couldn't find an even less competent individual than Shoigu.

You call a troop loss ratio of 10 to 1 incompetent? These Ukranians are excellent troops as well same as the Russians.

Ssshhhh keep it quiet, don't disturb the sheep's slumber. Let them remain asleep to the soothing tones of what's that word called when it's pure lies??........oh yeah, propaganda 😂😅😂😅

*chimp

@@vipulgupta I thought it was Chip?

Cool fake western name bro. Kyiv in 3 days botski! 😂

@@FishandHunt cool name bro your pronouons failure and shill?

@@rhetorical1488 So, how is the whole Kyiv in 3 days plan going for you on day 810 of Putin's disastrous 10 day 'Special Military Operation'? 😂

Falling upstairs in Russia is also fatal

Bot factor off the scale

That's why the West is failing, Russia kept room and manpower to expand their industral capability if the need arose where the West went for every penny pinching opportunity just in time brought.

@@rodpanhard Agree and disagrees. I don’t believe Russia is better. It’s a longer philosophic debate not suitable for YT comments. But I broadly agree with you! 😊😊😊

They have both been sanctioned for decades so everything possible has been done.

Long live Russian corruption!

NAVALNY is free as a 🐦 🦜 bird now...He has shifted his burden to PUTIN SHOULDER and enjoy a bird eye view of EVERYTHING GOING ON. SWEET GUY.

Avoid tea, aftershave, pretty much anything that might contain novichok

Yeh ok Ivan

Which is more important, a job leading a department with a budget of 25% of Russian GDP. Or chairing a group of old men sat round a table?

Russian bot

it was sidelined promotion.

He wasn't

it was sidelined promotion.

To where? He now has the third position in the power line, he's the Secretary of Security Councel. Which Putin is the head of.

The higher up you are the greater the corruption, that's how it works

Tedious bot narrative. He has been shifted to a position where he does not have to lift a finger, serving under the alcoholic Medvedev. Nobody would ever put that old sack in an important position.

Imports from n Korea and Iran .

How about the huge losses in men and material with limited progress

Cool fake western name by the way 😂

@@harryflower1810 kiev can be turned into gaza at any time you desire little failure bot.

No that's just your Russian cope. Kyiv in 3 days botski! 😂

Us has a senile puppet running things. The uk has a woke kneeling kink.

Why are you so sensitive?

No, he was moved sideways into a position where he can do no harm. That is not a promotion. Medvedev is in their security council. That tells you all you need to know.

@@rmdomainer9042 Medvedev is a court jester, it doesn't matter what title he formally holds, he doesn't do anything anyway. The security council is nothing to joke about, its function is to have Putin's back and watch over all security organizations. This puts the position of secretary of security council (eg the one who actually runs it) way above any given minister's. So, Shoigu was moved up, closer to Putin, Patrushev was moved down. This would never have happened if Shoigu had fell out of favour.

@@martlaas-ce8ir I disagree. But I respect your analysis. Putting Shoigu out of the ability to do harm at the current frontlines is at least a demotion and a sign of disrespect. Showing to the people that they are dissatisfied with his war performance.

@@rmdomainer9042 defence minister doesn't conduct war in any country. Look who replaced him, a chinovnik with even less military experience. I don't think he will be able to do much more Shoigu did. Replacing Shoigu may make sense if whole higher command will be reshuffled as well but so far this hasn't happened. Anyway, my point was that Shoigu is not being punished, he has not fallen out of favour and the fact that he is corrupt hasn't come as a surprise for anyone. This is how Russia works. As for showing people dissatisfaction - first, Putin don't care and second, if he would care, he'd do exactly the opposite. Because the only reason for him to care would be because he is afraid of their opinion. And in this case showing his dissatisfaction in such a manner would look like a weakness. You never show weakness in Russia, especially if you're Putin. If he'd care and wanted to show it that he is not satisfied, he would have done something drastic. Heads would roll, at least in public.
