thats because most of the upper echelons of russian administration are corrupt nepotists who are even more incompetent than the average vatnik incompetent. corruption and incompetence are russias biggest enemies and the main reason the war is taking this long. hard to make progress when all your top generals are oligarchs who care more about building their 6th villa from embezzled funds instead of planning war. same with all the diplomatic blunders, that lavrov asshole is the biggest outlier, he caused a lot of damage to russia on international stage by acting like a retard ussr boomer. this is the final result of all the stages of communism: at the end the social hierarchy is fucked, with only incompetent yes-men at the top. the competent people are either dead, emigrated, bullied into submission, or stopped caring. sad state of affairs that bled out into most of the post soviet bloc
