What is actually happening is that Shoigu is thinking &#8220;ok, is this media thing done now, I have to get back to the command post&#8221;. He is actually uncomfortable, but because he doesn&#8217;t have time for that shit because there&#8217;s an actual war going on and he has other, more pressing things to do. The actual orders to raise the alert level were probably given more efficiently earlier, and if I&#8217;m reading things correctly, it&#8217;s actually Gerasimov and Shoigu who are advising Putin on military matters and are offering him options. Raising the alert level was a military recommendation to Putin, he greenlighted it, they had to record the command on video for publicity purposes and then the military guys really had other things to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That&#8217;s how I read it, but what do I know. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been periodically reading Croatian newspapers to get the sense of the level of propagandistic nonsense they are spewing, and I&#8217;ve seen one thing constantly repeated as if it were an absolute, undeniable fact they are working with.
