Putin Appoints Economist to Head Defense Ministry, Coincides with War in Ukraine

Unexpected Reshuffle

Holy smokes! Just when you think you've seen it all Putin goes and shakes things up by replacing Defense Minister Shoigu with an economist. Quack quack!

Economist in Charge

Looks like Putin is pulling a Scrooge McDuck move by putting an economist in charge of the Defense Ministry. What's next Mickey Mouse as Secretary of State?

Need for 'Innovation'

"Innovation is the key to success just like innovation saved my tail feathers from Donald's pranks," said one analyst. Could an economist lead the charge in Russia's military?

Why has Shoigu gone?

"Oh boy! Shoigu's out and now he's off to the Security Council. Looks like he really ducked out of a sticky situation," joked a Kremlin insider.

Shoigu's Vulnerabilities

"It seems Shoigu was scrooging around with the military industrial complex. No wonder Putin wanted to switch things up," chuckled a Russian political analyst.

Arms Race Continues

"Better watch out NATO. Looks like the spirit of Uncle Scrooge is alive and well with Putin's defense strategy," noted one military commentator.
