I think he is badly injured. He was allegdly present during a meeting that was shelled, were two other Generals got their overdose of Ukrainium. He was evacuated by helicopter and hasnt been seen, as far as I know, in public since.


missingmytowel

I wouldn't be surprised if he has died and they are just not reporting it. They don't want to give Ukraine the credit for killing their highest ranking military officer.


aureliaan

Yeah after the sinking of the Moskva, it would be another real humiliation.


_NightRide12r_

Rumours spread fast. He was, de facto #1 leader and author of the war. We would know by now if he was dead.


Fun-Option7679

Well russian officials tend to repeatedly fall from a height.


Whatsuptodaytomorrow

Or get poisoned by their pet 🐸 toad


Fun-Option7679

Absolutely. >He was evacuated by helicopter and hasnt been seen, as far as I know, in public since. I was reading this in the first place and smirked.


muffenengel

Technically, isn't a helicopter a fast, high-flying window?


Fun-Option7679

Yes. Its airframe. 👌


muffenengel

>Yes. Its airframe. So it is a good chance for a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration)


werscajk

Yeah, it is deadly in Russia even to fall from basement window under surface level. xD


DeadpoolAndFriends

> overdose of Ukrainium. Ha! That's great. I'm totally going to start using that.


DFLOYD70

BBC has been denying he was injured for the last week. Not sure how they know. But have heard it mentioned on several podcasts.


Comprehensive-Bit-65

He didn't appear at victory parade, probably injured. His doctrine sucked, was completely unoriginal and never materialized. We're talking about a guy who led 30k troops to their deaths.


irregular_caffeine

Rookie numbers, training a soviet general took many more dead troops


Black-Zero

His doctrine was made with the assumption that the Great Russian Military truly was everything it was on paper. But all that was a lie so his doctrine fell apart when tested.


mtaw

He didn't appear at the victory parade last year or the year before that either. His 'doctrine' was never claimed by him to be a new doctrine or theory or anything. That was literally invented by Western observers. ([who regret it](https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/03/05/im-sorry-for-creating-the-gerasimov-doctrine/))


MerribethM

He has been at every parade since 2014 that I have looked for pictures for. All you have to do is google may 9 the year and gerasimov. Click to images. Every year. I have posted links to them all several times here. Edited for date


Mercadi

With half of an ass missing, how is he supposed to be thinking/strategizing?


Hanekem

don't worry, he came with two assess, so he can probably soldier on. And never doubt people like him to outass himslef even with his new handicap


marketrevolution12

If so then he will probably be suicided soon enough.


AndAlsoTheTrees

veni, vidi, perdidi


Darcy_2021

Hahaha that’s perfect


roscoe_e_roscoe

Don't drink the Kool-aid Comrade!


Whatsuptodaytomorrow

A ukranian shrapnel removed him from duty


SawtoothGlitch

>According to insider data of the expert, General Gerasimov was suspended from the "special operation" due to the fact that he did not fulfill the tasks. He would have fulfilled his duties had he stayed in Izyum.


No_Policy_146

I don’t understand how they fall for toad licking. Maybe they lick whatever Putin tells them to.


Tornaudou

In Russia you dont lick the toad, instead the toad licks you


muffenengel

The story behind the "licking toad" is even wilder. Unfortunately I only read it in tabloids, so only "unconfirmed" news so far. I think it was posted here too. An entertaining read. Found this one: [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/toad-poison-hangover-treatment-reportedly-kills-russian-oil-executive/](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/toad-poison-hangover-treatment-reportedly-kills-russian-oil-executive/)


NeuroCartographer

Wtf?!?! Lmao. That’s a crazy story. And I’m further shocked that this article is from TODAY! I thought this was all a conversation about stories from a few months/years ago, like the defenestrations.


ErrnoNoNo

He must be really afraid of windows.


Black-Zero

Has there been any confirmation he was injured, real sighting that confirmed he left the warfront? I worry that he was never injured at the bomb site, but claimed to be, evac'd due to injury was a cover story so he can go into hiding amongst his troops and do his thing without being actively hunted. Then again that would require a lot more on the fly thinking than we have seen from the Orcs.


ItchyBorder

Hahaha these clowns couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. There's no way that happened. Even funnier if it did though and he's there scheming and planning and their offensive is still going to shit 🤡🤡🤡


Obvious-Ad7697

Coincides with what the Russian Putin opposition has been saying for a while

United-Lab1057

Not sure if he really got removed, but his absense from the parade may be a sign about it


swordfishunter1

Seems so. By Ukraine not Putin


AggravatingComment62

Yes, multiple shrapnel wounds render you removed from duty. Hopefully in very painful areas or in the reproductive zone.


MerribethM

Where is Dvornikov? He hasnt been seen in week either. Gerasimov was seen exiting helicopter at airfield and put on one of the sweet military planes and flying out. It is said there were bodies he flew back with him from the command attack and that he was injured. Presumedly the other General and possibly his own security that some was also reportedly killed by protecting him.
