One constant component of this stumped stump speech is a line of nonsense that essentially boils down to us not needing real guns to fight government tyranny because the government – his government – will unleash the F-16s on you uppity peasants if you fail to obey your elite masters.
...Putin’s Wagner problem provides an example of what happens when the folks you are counting on to do your dirty work start counting and realize that the numbers are on their side.
But all mutinies are not openly mutinous.
A little story, with the names omitted to protect the jerk involved:
There once was this aviation battalion commander who was a real pain – just obnoxious – and then the battalion deployed to a combat zone. The commander continued being obnoxious, including to maintenance personnel. And suddenly, the unit operational readiness rate for the choppers dropped. This is bad. You do not want to be in a war zone and have to explain why 80% of your choppers are grounded. You can’t just order the aircraft ungrounded – you need to get the maintainers to maintain and sign off. But the OR rate kept dropping, and no amount of threats, screaming, and other fulminations could bring it up. The generals relieved the commander; oddly, the OR rate shot right up under the new CO. So, all resistance is not necessarily kinetic...
