Russia’s new Defense Minister Belousov brought in to clean up shop? | DW News 

Well these so called putin experts always get it wrong about putin..

No, it is a promotion. Your analysts always get wrong regarding Russia. This is not objective journalism but bias. Why don't you invite someone who understands Russia.

Belousov spent 25 years in Academy of Sciences.. which was/is a KGB research center that included nuclear and post nuclear management research and who knows what else. So something tells me this guy is not just an economist.

DW has, unapolagetically and consistently, been wrong about Russia. Time will tell

He asked to retire 3 years ago western media.

Well, Shoigu had served as a Defense Minister for 12 years - not really a revolving door status 🙂

"DW's Russia analyst." Think about the way Eggert is introduced by the DW anchor, "our expert." Maybe relying overwhelmingly on one "in house" analyst is not such a good idea? Yet DW has a small stable of go-to analysts that they use over and over and over. That's convenient for them, but not conducive to a diversity of views and self-critical analysis. Consequently, even though people on the outside marvel at the terrible track record of these experts and wonder why they are never called out (or even replaced?) for their consistently failed predictions, those inside the "DW bubble" all praise and support each other. It's kind of funny with the chaos and corruption on display in Ukraine to hear them highlight Russia's "revolving door" of leadership and "widespread corruption." Sure Russia is corrupt, but at least the money to build defensive lines was spent to build defensive lines. In Ukraine, along the Northern border with Russia, it seems that only 30% of the money allocated for building defensive lines was actually spent for that. With the result that those lines are about 30% effective.

All of u Western media propagandists keep on saying that the new Russian defense minister doesn't have military experience. Do Western defense ministers have military experience

Revolving doors - are you sure you’re not describing British Tory government DW?

DW bring in guests who are brilliant and makes sense and not a propagandist.

Quite clearly the opposite of the revolving door based on these tenures.

Shoigu is fortunate it is a revolving door , not an open highrise window.😂LOL

I guess Shoigu got tired of winning so he retired 😂

Shoigu getting a promotion and replaced by a very competent man but yeah this is a loss somehow

Imagine being experts on other people's affairs and totally forgetting who you are

Russia has a winning military strategy, Ukraine and NATO have a PR strategy. The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

Shoigu also has no military experience

the Covid experts who have became the war experts 😂😂😂

What are you even talking are you trying to tell me putin does not know what he is doing?

Critical Analysis must be based not only on economic coordination but also on regional security; not otherwise i.e. personal dart points framework ...

If Russian defence is a revolving door, then Ukrainian defence must be a spinning door.

There are few things I noticed on Telegram in the last 3 weeks. Increase in number of destroyed abrams, leopards, bradleys and artillery systems, a lot of videos of surrendered ukrainians, more than usual number of videos of ukrainians resisting mobilisation, even activating hand grenades to avoid getting dragged into the van.

Incompetence is a trait in Russias government.

This Government will be more efficient than previous.

The girl is delightful somehow.

That first guy beuing interviewed called it right. By the end of the day, Patruschev was announced as an "advisor"

some ukrainean generals sold out their country to allow that kharkiv offensive...

The same media was saying prigozin would overthrow putin😂😂😂

Nevermind that Zelensky has pretty much replaced his entire war cabinet since the war started. Countries change their cabinets and leadership all the time. What's the big deal? UK has had three Prime Ministers in the last four years.

Ukraine replaced several high ranking officials but the west so it as strategic.

How many Prime Ministers in UK in the last 5 years...

a bit of free advice, associate with Putin, stay away from tall buildings with windows and don't travel in airplanes.

Don't drink the tea at your retirement party, Sergei

Belousov is a very capable politician economist and organizer. Given Russia's overwhelming dominance in the battlefield, Putin needs someone with the abilities of Belousov to deal with the aftermath of the inevitable colapse of Ukraine. Everything else is just guesses.

Not properly equiped not well trained this is the winning recipe for russia

Note to myself: Whenever in desperate situation bevas confident as DW.

Not so much a revolving door, more a matter of opening windows!

or mobilize

Less revolving door, more like elevator door open to the shaft

the ghost of the wagner ex boss......smiling....lol

I think i think and i think

Europe never learn...Nelson Mandela once told USA."that South Africa's friends aren't American friend's and vice versa".....Europe should learn on how to their own independent institutions.

I mean, IDK. I'm not a fan of Russia, but this wasn't really the narrative when Zaluzhnyi was replaced

I am buying 150 used washing machines, I pay 500 dollars per machine, customs for Russia, I pay

Definition of an Expert. An Ex is a has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure.

One way of avoiding or at least minimizing Cadre Deployment.

that's a bad news for Ukraine ....

Visionary leaders have clarity of purpose and unwavering determination. Replacing Shoigu is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. Putin is a great leader.

"shakeup" bro literally got promoted, what are you even on about

Manstein will set things right.

If they only could find Gerasimov.

Белоусов учёный экономист плюс на предыдущей должности он отвечал за военную промышленность. Выбор сделан с прицелом на долгие военные мероприятия. Какие эн глупые аналитики😂

Hypocritial title on the news title - David Cameroon, Von der Liar, Bidet, etc. Shoigu has been promoted; he is a civilian who has not served in the army.

How long till Putin replaces him

Is it revolving doors or a dictatorship? Make up your mind.

Ever notice that Russian upper rank military hats are ridiculously large?

Oh dear, Shoeglue has come unstuck!

When crooks trying to run crooks it gets messy...hopefully the Russian people will get tired of it...💯👎

American leadership a revolving door come on now

More likely to take the blame.

Boycott everything russian. Check if a company has any ties to those criminals before buying anything

This means Youkrain just a sideline now. Russia shift into military economy , just like U$A MIC .

listen to what they say there sentances dont make any sense😂😂😂

No, 😅😅😅this is constitutional

Congratulaciones

I would like to see the same video about Biden's entourage !

Your topic sentence is misleading. USA leadership changes every 4 years.

Give Ukraine the means to defend itself

Why the heck they are smiling so much at so cringe timings? FFS those inappropriate smiles would bring shivers even to serial killers!

So ... Prigozhin was right

russian bloggers are psyched out...lllmmmaaooo..gotta love this country!!!

Sometimes I wonder if Russia is obsessed with what happens on this side of the planet compared how we are obsessed with their side

Maybe this guy can speed things up

Shoigu has asked for years to retire. This is about retirement not incompetence.

Poacher turns gamekeeper Putin

Wow, Putlers failing war thrown in his face hit a nerve. The extra effort in the russian cope messages are reminiscent of the cope cages to defend T72's from javelins. Oh wait, those turrets still went popping off. Oh well, Russia army borg right? Resistance is futile and all that?

Aren’t they all corrupt?

Blind leading the blind…

Just making sure if we see something we’re still supposed to say something!! “Been that way for 30 years.” - U.S. Justice Department on the lack of Human Rights in Oklahoma County Jail, 2020 “Makes me feel human again after this place.” - Oklahoma City Art Museum review after life in the local shelters (20+ years in the making), 2024 “It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.” - Nelson Mandela 🥂🥂

I hope Mr. Putin has had some smart strategies about Ukraine-Russian war when Mr. Putin has changed his cabinet 🤔🤔🤒🙏🏻

Get your story straight

Eerily similar to Trump leadership

Mainly: he understands a lot of robotic warfare

The theft of defence

They have truly streamlined the procedure... Shoigu will be promoted with an emphasis on the Russian military industrial complex, which the western media has not identified as a national security adviser... As a national security council adviser, he has grown closer to Putin... whereas the new guy is an economist technocrat who will bring more money for military expansion by relieving Shoigu of administrative duties!!! As usual, the Western media portrays this as a setback; nonetheless, this is an excellent step in the midst of a major NATO escalation threat.

EU of America

Когда ты не знаком с темой, говори всегда ФСБ России.

Parasitic structure talking about the revolving door 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Revolving door? Does that mean something different in Germany? in the US it means someone leaves, but is back sometime later.

I don’t get why this specialist give ideas to Russians in RU-vid…

I'm not going to make any options 😂

I think shoigu removal is not bad for shoigu and not bad for Mr putin .those who has more ability they are at top job to promote Russia Mr putin want a strong Russia in any field to compete the west

I do not understand why Russia does not supply the Houthis with hypersonic missiles capable of hitting US cities, because in the US view, supplying weapons does not mean being drawn into a military conflict.

Lol…just like in USA…

È a capo della produzione significa che lui sarà quello che dovrà alimentare esercito

What utter nonsense. Putin is so satisfied with him so he promotes him

A "revolving door"? More like " a open window on the 15th floor".

Putin needed yes man not a real man

The spending on the army this year is three times the spending on education, health, and ecology combined!. This is why an economist was chosen to rectify this very odd situation. This whole war is usless and attritive. It will have even deeper implications on Russia as time passes. Also sanctions are really hurting, although Mr. Lavrove keeps making fun of them.
