Even so, two generals in one week, if I'm not mistaken.

Maybe related, but not the same general named Gerasimov. The one above is Valery Gerasimov (still alive unfortunately). The one killed is Vitaly. Causing confusion.

It’s not him, sadly. It’s Vitaly, who was in charge of the invasion of Crimea, not Valery. Olga Lautman tweeted yesterday “ Just to clear something up. This is NOT Valery Gerasimov who is the chief of general staff of armed forces,” and then “He is reportedly the nephew though.”

I also thought it was him. It’s still a very big deal, the name Gerasimov carries a lot of weight.

Im glad people thought it was him bc I learned about the doctrine!! I was struck by Molly McKews analysis “they know they can’t win so they create new battlefields- not aiming to be stronger than us but to weaken us until we are equivalent”. 🤯There’s like an actual formula to all the fuckery.

If I were a propagandist, I would just let people think that it was him.

It's like BUHBYE Felatio! Hey, I'm back in, Jim! Watched Rad Pod yesterday. Bouzy (Banksy) was amazing. Following now. Have him back asap. Sean's video was hilarious. I've been sick with flu past couple days and was just getting off on edibles. I slept so good last night. Hope you did too.
