Stupidity or betrayal?
I agree with Maxim Kalashnikov's conclusions, but only partially. What I already wrote to him in a personal message.
Yes, 30% are stupid lizard mediums who should not even be allowed to come close to command and planning. none.
Another 30% are corrupt officials who make money from everything. From housing and community services to the legalization of illegal immigrants. Including in war, that is, in blood.
The rest, like Chubais, Nabulina and that Kudrin, are guys who work for their Western patrons (curators) almost legally. The faces know about it, but they can't do anything about it. Not their level.
Some of them cheated already at a conscious age, being a minister or general, but initially, for the most part, those 40% were a Western product built into the Russian system.
I mean, it's not even about traitors. (They are betraying their country and their people), and these guys are workers, raised from their student days at Cambridge or Oxford. Our "Arab" and his retinue (the boyars) are from the same environment. Since the 1980s, when he served in Germany.
Yes, it is hard to accept and understand it, but if it is not done, the last option remains - to close yourself "at home" and continue to live in a world of pink ponies. It's easier on the soul.
