Would you say his favorability is plummeting? Out a window, maybe?

Amazing how they pulled from Western culture as a compliment to one of their leaders…amidst all their disparagement of the West. It’s like Kim Jong Un playing a scene from “Rocky” at his birthday bash.

This dude has been vulnerable for some time. People thought he was already a goner until they trotted him out in public recently, as I recall

We must thank Shoigu for a large part of Russia’s military incompetence. He replaced [Anatoly Serdyukov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoly_Serdyukov), who [attempted to implement sweeping changes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Russian_military_reform) that would have drastically reduced corruption and made it much more efficient and effective. Luckily, his efforts upset too many apple carts and the generals and contractors responsible for thefts pressured Putin to have him removed. Shoigu was the goofball brought in to keep everyone happy, which he did by turning a blind eye to corruption and keeping the gravy flowing.

Shoigu should try what Prigohzin did, but go all the way instead of chickening out. If he doesn’t he’ll end up on the wrong side of a third story window.

Kremlin physicians have noted that Secretary Shoigu experiences feelings of dizziness when in proximity to windows.

Dictators tend to be always sceptical about his assistants, lest they be too powerful to challenge them. Because of that paranoia their 2nd or 3rd in command posts often become musical chairs.

Don’t worry, Shoigu. You know what they say, “When God closes a door, He opens a window.”
