We’ve already seen evidence of the loss of focus on actual military preparedness with incidents like the navy ships colliding with cargo ships. There is nothing larger or slower than merchant ships or oil tankers.

If only Comrade Brezhnev were aware of this mess he would quickly put an end to it. (Afghanistan, 1984)
If only Comrade Stalin were aware of this mess he would quickly put an end to it. (Kiev, 1941)
If only the Tsar were aware of this mess he would quickly put an end to it. (Freidland, 1807)
Lather, rinse, repeat.
We are already there, peak insanity rules. We got there somewhere around the time a General went beyond the CoC and contacted a counterpart in another military to cut the legs off of his superior.
Rule #1: Communists lie.
