From the mouth of an American leader whom the world was prone to take more seriously, a comment that Putin shouldn’t be in power would have significant consequences.

Ineptitude and corruption are not a new phenomenon for Russia’s military which has always made up for in sheer numbers, ruthlessness, and firepower what it lacked in strategic and logistic areas, not to mention morale. Russia’s military has combined aspirational First World equipment with Third World people. But there’s no reason to gloat. It’s not at…
