| 2024-05-14 |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Gregor Spitzen [REGNUM] The resignation of Sergei Shoigu from the post of Russian Defense Minister and the unexpected appointment to this post of Andrei Belousov, who previously oversaw the economic bloc of the government, shocked not only most of the Russian political establishment, but also Western experts, who absolutely did not expect such a maneuver from the Russian president.  |

| #3 I should mention Shoigu orchestrated the production of military manufacturing and new technologies as we have seen in the field. |

| #2 With the new election Putin is to make changes as required. Shoigu a civilian engineer was not demoted or fired. He simply is doing what he has always done. Belousov I understand is well suited for this post. Seems western media can only dwell upon the negatives. Disinformation abounds. As I recall he is younger and has performed very well and is respected by many in this administration. Putin seems to have a knack for picking high quality people. My hope is Trump dismisses holdovers as they always seem to undercut and leak information to the media. |

| #1 They don't worry about millions of Muzzies and third worlders they let into their countries. They worry about Gaza & Russia*. IMO, if the "West" just left Russia alone, it'll break to pieces. |
