  As someone who's not well versed in politics: Isn't throwing your ENTIRE population at a war like this a disaster for every higher up?I fee like that's something even the 1% would avoid. >
  
  It's worked well for them in the past. >
  
  It also didn't cause the literal crash of their entire economic system,and they weren't also dealing with decades of corruption.I don't see how they can use a strat like this in modern times and think it'll work. >

  In its intelligence briefing posted to Twitter on Wednesday, the U.K. Ministry of Defence pointed to reports of Russian Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov being promoted to head of the Russian military as "a significant development in Russian President Vladimir Putin's approach to managing the war."
  The Kremlin also likely chose Gerasimov to support an intended Russian military offense in 2023, reported the ISW, given that Gerasimov has not previously pushed back on what the think tank called "Russia's disastrous February 2022 war plan."
  "Putin has repeatedly demonstrated he misunderstands the capabilities of Russian forces and has not abandoned his maximalist war aims in Ukraine," wrote the ISW. "Putin may have appointed Gerasimov, the highest-ranking officer in the Russian military, to succeed a series of theater commanders to oversee a major offensive that Putin-likely incorrectly-believes Russian forces can accomplish in 2023.".
