Putin is largely ignoring the expertise of his military advisors, US analysts said in a report. Instead, he is making most of the key decisions on his own, they said. The experts at the RAND Corporation said Putin has proved more cautious than many expected. Russian President Vladimir Putin is making key decisions about the Ukraine war largely on his own, without input from his generals, analysts said in a report published last week.
But while doing so, Putin has proven to be more cautious than expected, said the report from the US-based RAND Corporation.
“Putin [is] making key decisions largely on his own without substantial influence from the Russian General Staff,” the analysts said in the report.
RAND said that was simply because Putin does not trust those around him — and so makes “little use of economic or military expertise” at his disposal.
He must have been doing this the whole time right? Otherwise how could they be doing so poorly?
I’ve been assuming Putin’s been calling the shots all by himself in terms of military movements this entire time.

Never go full Hitler…
I mean, never go part Hitler either. But definitely don’t go full Hitler.
This worked famously well for Hitler in WWII. Maybe we can just fast forward to the part where he suicides in a bunker?
Really cosplaying Nicholas II here
Never interfere with the enemy while he is in the process of making a mistake.
