Gerasimov - Where is he?
🎦 00:15-03:44⏩
Jonathan discusses the rumours circulating that General Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of Russia's Armed Forces may have been killed in a Ukrainian strike on a command post in occupied Crimea on 4th January. He notes that he initially dismissed the rumours which often surface on social media following significant strikes, citing previous examples where Ukrainian and Russian commanders, including Valery Zaluzhny and Sergey Budanov were also rumoured to have been killed but later reappeared. However, given that 19 days have passed without Gerasimov being seen publicly, Jonathan acknowledges that the possibility of his death is becoming increasingly plausible. He highlights that other senior Russian commanders have been shown performing duties that Gerasimov would usually undertake. Jonathan shares a user comment by Tim White speculating on Gerasimov's whereabouts and also addresses varying perspectives on Gerasimov's competence, noting that some consider him to be a poor leader, while others believe he is a more capable than Sergei Shoigu. He observes that social media is rife with memes and speculation regarding Gerasimov's absence. Jonathan concludes that while he is not definitively stating that Gerasimov is dead, the lack of evidence to the contrary makes it a growing possibility. He invites viewers to share their thoughts on the matter and the potential implications if Gerasimov's death were to be confirmed.
