186. Mark Hertling - How Fragile would Russia’s Autocratic System be After a Major Battlefield Defeat

The last 9 months has seen a vicious war of attrition unfold in towns like Ugledar, Soledar and Bakhmut. But this should not be interpreted as a stalemate, as those struggles seems to have degraded the quantity of functional Russian equipment and depleted their fighting potential. Will Ukraine’s much-vaunted counter offensive finally bring an end to Russia’s genocidal and pointless war? And how fragile would Russia’s autocratic, vertical system be after a major battlefield defeat? Mark Hertling is a former United States Army officer, who served as the Commanding General of the United States Army Europe and the Seventh Army. Hertling served in Armor, Cavalry, planning, operations, and training positions, and commanded every organization from Platoon to Field Army. He commanded the 1st Armoured Division and Task Force Iron/Multinational Division-North in Iraq during the troop surge of 2007 to 2008. ~ | ~ | ~ | ~ | ~ LINKS: https://twitter.com/MarkHertling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hertling https://edition.cnn.com/profiles/mark-hertling-profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-hertling-dba-57987066/ https://www.ausa.org/people/lieutenant-general-retired-mark-hertling ~ | ~ | ~ | ~ | ~
