Russia's Putin proposes sacking Defence Minister Shoigu, parliament says

The choice of words is important. It’s appealing to the West propaganda machine to represent conflict within the Russian power structures. They use the word ‘sacking’ because their western leaders would exercise their prerogative to power and do just that (the “democratic” ones). To their disappointment, Shoigu was promoted to head of security services, while being replaced by someone with more experience of economic management. This is part of their strategy of integrating their military complex into the economy. The West should read this as: “our military power is here to stay and increase further.”

Interestingly, just like after WWII the American MIC had to manufacture wars to justify its existence, it’ll be interesting to see where the new Russian military capacity we will focus after this war. Africa for sure, to arm it against the European colonial powers. But who knows what other places. France is going to be well pissed off))

> proposes

The whole wire text uses Western world notions and suggest some democratic process to be performed. While it works differently there.

I am not saying Putin can do whatever he wants. Probably there is some process to be performed too (satisfying the stakeholders), but not the one visible on the surface.

TLDR: masquerade
