But this isn't Russia where you cut of the head of an organisation and it suddenly falters such as Wagner. Rheinmetall wouldn't stop or even slow down production. Got to keep that revenue going for the shareholders.
It's almost as if Putin's regime was a hyper violent group of thugs, bent on threatening and killing everyone standing in their way of dominance.
So you mean, that it's open game for us now?
We have to take the thread seriously and accept our adversary as what he is. That doesn't mean copying his despicable methods. Our most effective defense is defending Ukraine.
Defending Ukraine is not enough.
We should arm Ukraine way more, and let them use all types of weapon systems on any valid military target, be it in occupied Ukraine or in Russia.
Edit: of course nobody should bomb civilians or do war crimes.
I'm guessing it would've been to scare the replacement, but even then, I don't see weapons slowing down. I think it would have the opposite effect.
Yay captialism?
Nah, yay delegation of power.
It's the same reason why a modern democratic state is unlikely to crumble when a president gets assassinated: No single person holds all the power and succession is codified. Which is not the case in corruption ridden systems like Russia. There is going to be chaos should Putin not wake up tomorrow.
Yeah, I get it: Sow fear and distrust.
