Meanwhile, at least the Russkies still have their heads screwed on straight.
Oh, FYI, this is a perfect example of why not to nominate iCarly or to allow the Hildabitch to get elected - NOBODY will take them seriously, and to be taken seriously they will have to literally go to war. Sorry, but having a nation go to war just to prove that a woman is just as capable as a man is not worth it.
Russia is a bit different as defense ministers have traditionally been active duty military officers heavily promoted by the military/security forces (Silovik). Even many deputies in the Duma are serving officers. (Goes back to the time when most noble men were trained as officers.)
