Putin is a KGB thug with no military experience.
Russian generals must hate his guts.
C’mon, generals, do the right thing.
The Russian army is tightly controlled and frequently debased by Russia’s rulers. Even Russian mafia shakes down Russian commanders at their bases, just like that Monty Python sketch. Good generals are deliberately removed for fear they might develop political aspirations. Soldiers are systematically tortured and even raped by their officers, as gulag culture prevails in the military Russia’s Soviet structures wanted.
