Wait. No.

First of all, Zel tried to make Zal resign, and he flat refused. Tried to offer other positions and he walked out still in charge.

He COULD HAVE flat fired him. But was trying bribery. But because Zal has more popularity than him, it would have been unwise.

The US wants Bud put in place, and clearly it is exactly for his "talents" and connections with the ugly underbelly of US foreign "fighters" we support all over. The future plan for the remnants of Ukr fanatics is obvious to anyone knowing what UK and US CIA did post WWII.

And his wife is probably an asset for one or more of the illicit ops our pols have had going on in Ukr too.

And WTAF handsome???? He is misshapen overall, his head is far too large for his shoulders or body, his face has that off shape of a fair number of mix/slav males, and he was severely wounded and is borderline a cripple with severe damage to his right arm, back, head (very lilely he was blown up in the Kiev NATO and Ukr spy building blast- not the faked frontline shrapnel claims).

This entire piece is very off.....

Zelenski had planned to promote the Chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence in Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov as the new Commander in Chief.

Here is where I believe that other high officers, and likely also the U.S. military, stepped in.

Budanov has been in special forces intelligence from the very beginning of his career. He has never commanded anything larger than a group. Not a platoon, not a company, not a battalion, not a brigade, not a division and not a corp. How can someone who has zero experience in leading actual force formations supposed to be the commander of all Ukrainian forces including the army, air-force and navy?

It is impossible.

Budanov seems to be somewhat loyal to Zelenski (though I bet he really isn't). He is handsome and looks good on camera. He is a smooth talker. He is also a creative and talented terrorist. His actual military operations though, like the ground raids into Belgograd, have mostly been mediocre failures.

I am pretty sure that the Pentagon and even the White House may have called Kiev and stopped Zelenski from implementing such nonsense.

Promoting Budanov over a capable military commander would only accelerate the Ukrainian military loss.

And leave the Kiev regime completely holding the bag when it all collapses, as it inevitably will. Even Ukrainians would probably blame Kiev for removing the man who has commanded the UAF from the beginning.

In other words, this is going to be like South Vietnam after the US signed the Paris Accords.
