Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu is being 'side-lined' by Vladimir Putin and is constantly mocked by his own soldiers, the British ministry of defence has revealed.

In its daily briefing, the MoD said the veteran politician who has held the defence post for 10 years is no longer the confidant and ally he previously was to the leader.

Russia's failures in Ukraine after sustaining huge losses to personnel and equipment without making major inroads into the country have led to his ousting from Putin's inner circle.

The head of the Russian military is no longer briefing Putin directly, with the Russian leader instead being updated by operational commanders, the report said.

These Brit articles tend to suggest ‘our side’ is winning. It’s like Gateway. Whom to believe?

Those are fake ribbons he is wearing - he never served a day in the military.

Is this the same British intelligence fighting for the event they have cultivated for decades, the sand intel that told us Trump was a Russian spy? That told us Trump the germaphobe hired prostitutes to pee on his bed? That British intelligence?

Yeah, he came out of the Commie construction industry and was the head of Russian FEMA before Putin pulled him up to MoD Minister...but not a single day of military service in his bio.

That British intelligence?

The one that squandered and lost its global empire, yes, that one.

From earlier this year, for point of reference:


Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu vanishes ‘with heart problems’ as strains appear in his relationship with Putin over Ukraine war and his daughter poses in Ukraine colours

It’s a small sample size but I talked to someone from Europe. She just took her daughter over there for the first year of college (kid is a citizen so it’s free for her).

The woman said the situation is dire over there and they are really worried about winter.

So apparently it’s worse there than the media reports.

It took the USNavy even longer to get rid of its incompetent Admirals in WW2. See the Guadalcanal sea battles of August 1942 and later. Real war exposes the frauds.
