Russia has arrested a number of generals and military leaders in recent weeks, seeking to overhaul an army hierarchy seen as corrupt and inefficient in an reinvigorated push for victory in Ukraine

1. Have they arrested Putin?

2. Push to put in a new batch of not effective and corrupt leaders just answering to a different set of goals.

3. Ah shit, where is my popcorn?

4. Stalin did something similar, albeit with a more terminal approach. 1930’s. Maybe it helped ….?

5. There is the trope of villains in a story needing to cycle through henchmen who promise to deliver where their predecessors failed, only to prove just as incompetent, so this checks out.

6. Bullshit. This has nothing to do with efficiency, modernization or better leadership. It’s a purge and neutering of the army.for the sake of power.

7. It’s another sign of how pathetic they are. They have to arrest people to make personnel changes that other countries would make through a functioning government. Yeah, there are trumped up charges that might even be true, but those could have been brought years ago.

8. Hahahahaha I love this sub. Straight from a russian basement.
