(10,242 posts)He made 05 in 16 years at the KGB. Why did he take so long? I have friends who made 05 in 10 years, unrestricted line, some of the specialities can make rank even faster. It depends on how good you are. 05 in 16 years is hmmm ok. I would be happy with that. But it isn't something to write home about.
So, he wasn't a Super Star in the KGB. Probably because he didn't work well with others. Duplicity and egotism can only take you so far. There comes a time where you actually have to do something.
He then got voted into a fledgling democracy. A democracy that had come out of a totalitarian government. A democracy that was barely standing on its own legs and what does he do? Takes the country backwards to a dictatorship.
That's not leadership, that's laziness. He couldn't understand what a democracy should be or how to support it, so he falls into the already developed, easily understood dictatorship. He's a lazy man who doesn't have any idea what true leadership is.
