I get the feeling Zelensky’s “victory plan” is a good indicator of what brought us here in the first place. Namely that this war on every side but seemingly Russia is run by “money people” rather than competent, experienced managers.
From my work in construction, I’ve seen how “money people” even if good faith actors, look to solve money problems. “These numbers were input wrong here. Transfer this money to this place, then reissue the order from that place and everything lines up”
I’ve also seen how competent managers deal with tangible problems in the field. “When will we have the parts in hand? Do we have a crew available to schedule same day the parts arrive? What if there’s a delay in the shipment? Maybe best to schedule it next day.”
The pie in the sky nonsense pushed throughout this war, to me indicates it’s being run by the money people. Not only impacting the feasibility of their plans. It’s also not surprising to hear that, with so much money moving this way and that, this contract to that one, this group to that group, just a wee bit of it, gets ”lost” in the process.
