    Again, it’s like failure to do even the most basic research. He had all sorts of plants in Ukraine in before all this started, it would have been relatively easy to have spies to a character assessment. Just like I really don’t understand why he wouldn’t have done an equipment specification before moving all this equipment with dry rot and other failures. He had to have known that the everyone was skimming at best, and straight out stealing at worst.

      Considering that even the US’ intelligence failed to spot Zelenskyy’s character as a war leader, I think we should be wary of proclaiming that the russian’s could’ve find it out with “the most basic research”…

      In fact people often don’t really know if they’ll rise to the occasion in such a life and death situation themselves until faced with it.

      As I said, it’s easy to look at it now and think “it was obvious”, but that’s due to hindsight.
