    I've been waiting for a Greenwaldian counterintuitive argument that this shows how egalitarian and manly Russian army is. Their generals aren't sitting in offices far from the battlefield!https://twitter.com/AryehCW/status/1507762849787039745 …

        To be fair, the generals have to be on the firing line because the junior officers performance is underwhelming.

        Anyone who knows civil-military relations and doctrine studies knows it's the opposite Democratic militaries allow junior officers a lot of initiative, the Russian military allows initiative only to generals, which is why they have to be near the fronthttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1507763586206158863?s=20&t=82WAONnwsQ75ZI2XPrGVcQ …

        Yeah, a lot of what is being done by "generals" in Russia would be done by "colonels" in USA

        This shows Russian leadership, from top-to-bottom, is really fighting for the interests of the Russian people, unlike the classist American leaders just send the poor to maintain the hegemony of their global petrodollar empire
