Monarch: From Greek: one who rules alone (17/05/22 17:36:34)
We can read in today's headlines the allegation that Putin micromanages part of the war against Ukraine. Commentators remark that this might illustrate the fear-governed structure of the army: Lower-level officers fear being held responsible for failures, so the higher, or even top levels, will have to make them. So political beliefs or delusions may influence or decide the actions in the field. Earlier today I accused Putin of squandering his army. It seems that his role may have been more direct than I imagined. So he must be even more stupid than I thought.
