  Sleeping in such an environment is a betrayal. In fact, this is the realm of power that has been betraying the country since 1992. Unfortunately, we are all deceived accomplices of this betrayal.

  I will only remind you of the reform of the army of Putin - Medvedev - Serdyukov, carried out from 2008 to 2020, which "castrated" the Soviet-style army to a "compact professional army" of V.V., Putin, optimized for local wars. Now even 10 years will not be enough.
  In other areas, more than time has been lost.
  Blocked the possibility of the country's development for more than 20 years and ensured its degradation in a key period before the fight with the West

When a firefighter is at the head of the RF Ministry of Defense, only then can such nonsense be heard. For the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this is manna from heaven, which means that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will not quickly expand and arm themselves, which means that you can manage to overcome the crisis with new weapons. It would be better to keep silent, it is dangerous to let the cancer speak, or: your own fool is worse than the enemy.
