Russia’s new Defense Minister Belousov brought in to clean up shop? | DW News

Well these so called putin experts always get it wrong about putin..

No, it is a promotion. Your analysts always get wrong regarding Russia. This is not objective journalism but bias. Why don't you invite someone who understands Russia.

Belousov spent 25 years in Academy of Sciences.. which was/is a KGB research center that included nuclear and post nuclear management research and who knows what else. So something tells me this guy is not just an economist.

DW has, unapolagetically and consistently, been wrong about Russia. Time will tell

He asked to retire 3 years ago western media.

Well, Shoigu had served as a Defense Minister for 12 years - not really a revolving door status 🙂

"DW's Russia analyst." Think about the way Eggert is introduced by the DW anchor, "our expert." Maybe relying overwhelmingly on one "in house" analyst is not such a good idea? Yet DW has a small stable of go-to analysts that they use over and over and over. That's convenient for them, but not conducive to a diversity of views and self-critical analysis. Consequently, even though people on the outside marvel at the terrible track record of these experts and wonder why they are never called out (or even replaced?) for their consistently failed predictions, those inside the "DW bubble" all praise and support each other. It's kind of funny with the chaos and corruption on display in Ukraine to hear them highlight Russia's "revolving door" of leadership and "widespread corruption." Sure Russia is corrupt, but at least the money to build defensive lines was spent to build defensive lines. In Ukraine, along the Northern border with Russia, it seems that only 30% of the money allocated for building defensive lines was actually spent for that. With the result that those lines are about 30% effective.

All of u Western media propagandists keep on saying that the new Russian defense minister doesn't have military experience. Do Western defense ministers have military experience

Revolving doors - are you sure you’re not describing British Tory government DW?

DW bring in guests who are brilliant and makes sense and not a propagandist.

Quite clearly the opposite of the revolving door based on these tenures.

Shoigu is fortunate it is a revolving door , not an open highrise window.😂LOL

I guess Shoigu got tired of winning so he retired 😂

Shoigu getting a promotion and replaced by a very competent man but yeah this is a loss somehow

Imagine being experts on other people's affairs and totally forgetting who you are

Russia has a winning military strategy, Ukraine and NATO have a PR strategy. The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

Shoigu also has no military experience

the Covid experts who have became the war experts 😂😂😂

What are you even talking are you trying to tell me putin does not know what he is doing?

Critical Analysis must be based not only on economic coordination but also on regional security; not otherwise i.e. personal dart points framework ...
