   Another top defense official in Russia will be removed from his post in part of an ongoing shake-up of the country’s military establishment in Vladimir Putin’s new presidential term.

2. blyatmobiles not good enough apparently

3. By fire, it means he will have an accident with a window

4. Defenestation, lifes little happy accidents

5. When you fire that many generals and department heads in little over 20 months you seriously have to question the competency of the man who allowed so many incompetent people to occupy those jobs before the trouble started.

6. Putin is likely panicking a bit right now. According to open source intel researchers who examine satellite images of tank stocks and intelligence on military production capabilities, Russia only has enough stocks of rusty old tanks and APCs to last about 18 months max after accounting for the limited new ones they can build.

   Now that Biden has stood down, hoping Trump will win in November and force Ukraine to give up no longer seems like such a viable strategy. They need to do something urgent to make more tanks, APCs, and arty barrels.

   I suspect and hope what they can do to increase production is limited and will further damage an already wounded economy.

7. Putin to fire AT general…

9. He should have asked for a blowie before firing him

11. Fired right out a window.

12. Vladimir, you need to fire that Putin guy.

    Pivot, if you dare.

16. Out of a window.. – as it is traditional custom? I guess.
