In reply to the discussion: This was the guy the Russians just sent in to save the day: [View all]Warpy

Most in the west who care about such things considered him a brilliant military strategist.
Unfortunately, the strategy might have worked for the west's military. It didn't work for Russia's military. So he's been booted out of the Kremlin and booted out of Putin's inner circle and sent to the front in harm's way.
Now he's got a big target on his back and a near miss to his credit.
