186. Mark Hertling - How Fragile would Russia’s Autocratic System be After a Major Battlefield Defeat

The last 9 months has seen a vicious war of attrition unfold in towns
like Ugledar, Soledar and Bakhmut. But this should not be interpreted as
a stalemate, as those struggles seems to have degraded the quantity of
functional Russian equipment and depleted their fighting potential. Will
Ukraine’s much-vaunted counter offensive finally bring an end to
Russia’s genocidal and pointless war? And how fragile would Russia’s
autocratic, vertical system be after a major battlefield defeat?

Mark Hertling is a former United States Army officer, who served as the
Commanding General of the United States Army Europe and the Seventh
Army. Hertling served in Armor, Cavalry, planning, operations, and
training positions, and commanded every organization from Platoon to
Field Army. He commanded the 1st Armoured Division and Task Force
Iron/Multinational Division-North in Iraq during the troop surge of 2007
to 2008.
