Putin's New Defense Minister Signals Major Military Shakeup Amid Ukraine War
TL;DR Summary
Vladimir Putin's appointment of Andrei Belousov as Russia's new defense minister is likely to fail due to Belousov's background in Soviet-era economics, his long-standing ties to the corrupt Putin regime, and his lack of experience with military bureaucracy. Despite being a respected technocrat, Belousov's dirigiste economic views and potential inability to navigate the complex military structure make him an ill-suited choice for the role, highlighting yet another strategic error by Putin.
