      Recently, Shoigu has been being promoted in such a way as if they are preparing him as a "successor", and he has become Putin's "best friend" instead of Medvedev.

            Why on earth? Quite a tough and adequate pro. We are deeply respected in the army. And not only there. Ex-wives do not take away property. He says little to the point.

              I would not say so categorically. Is an unservice person, without a specialized education among career officers, respected? Strongly controversial ..

          So what's so good about it ? Yeltsin created this System of degradation, impoverishment, extinction of Russia, Putin preserved it, and any of his "successors" will preserve it in the same way. Only now, FREEZING, due to which the Russian Federation existed for 30 years, the Soviet legacy, large incomes from the export of natural resources and raw materials, is becoming less and less.

      Let the anxious ones continue to mock. As far as I remember, if there are more than 13 thousand troops, then observers must be invited. There are fewer, so you can train at full speed, destroying the key defense of the "terrorists".

      It's amazing .... I thought Shoigu was already laying bricks in the foundations of five new Siberian cities.
