Oh no, what if they replace him with someone who knows how to do war?

I think all of them are long gone by now. He will be replaced with some other incompetent sycophant.

I hope you're right, but I'm afraid there's always a chance of someone competent still existing in the ranks

Their mercenaries know but they also killed prighozin and certainly aren't letting them get near actual power after the half rebellion.

Nah, that guy tried to fly a long time ago.

That position is probably just saying "Yes/Sure/Of Course" to Putin.

But if that "yes" doesn't yield positive results, you're put on a plane.
