Ukraine Always Get What You Want

Wow. Hats off, again, to Muratov.

 

That's a lot of officers.

 

I would tend to agree, but isn’t the consensus that the RU army is I’ll-trained and I’ll-equipped? And that leadership is basically yes men who won’t push back? If that’s the case, I’d it that big a deal if some brass is killed off?

 

That's a damn lot of generals. In contrast, there were 20 American one-stars killed during World War II.

 

Maybe not. But they'll feel the loss of so many junior and senior officers, the middle management guys who are responsible for making sure things get done on the ground.
