Belousov's nomination undoubtedly brought a certain shock to the outside world, and also triggered heated discussions and speculations about Russia's future defense policy and army reform.
So why did Putin choose an economist as defense minister?
Belousov's appointment as defense minister sparked heated discussions
Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his first State of the Union address after his re-election as president, nominated a new defense minister, the famous economist Belousov. Belousov's nomination undoubtedly brought a certain shock to the outside world, because in the past, most of Russia's defense ministers came from the top of the military, and this time, Putin's nomination of Belousov also has his own considerations and intentions.
After the announcement of Belousov's nomination, speculation and heated discussions about whether he can succeed as defense minister are also getting higher and higher, after all, as an economist, Belousov does not have much experience and background in the military field, and Russia's defense minister is an extremely important military post, and whether his nomination can be approved by the State Duma has also become the focus of great attention from the outside world.
Putin's deep meaning in nominating Belousov as Minister of Defense
Although Belousov is not from the military, the reason why Putin nominated him to be defense minister is naturally because he has taken a fancy to his unique advantages, and he also has his own profound considerations and intentions.
Belousov's nomination undoubtedly sends a very clear signal to the outside world, that is, Putin hopes to further promote Russia's military reform and national defense modernization through his appointment, after all, Belousov, as an economist, has very unique insights on the rational allocation and utilization of resources, as well as the control and optimization of fiscal expenditure, which can provide more rational and scientific suggestions for Russia's defense expenditure and help the defense sector better cope with various challenges and problems.
The reason why Putin nominated Belousov is also inseparable from his own ability and political character, Belousov has always been a very low-key and introverted, and highly recognized and trusted person, he has never participated in any factional struggle, let alone involved in any corruption issues, it can be said that Putin is a candidate who is completely trusted, and he is also a model of hard work for the interests of the country and the people, therefore, his appointment as Minister of Defense can also bring a clear stream to Russia's military cause, Promote the reform and rectification of the defense sector.
The impact of Belousov's appointment on Russia's defense policy
Belousov's nomination and appointment will undoubtedly have a certain impact on the formulation of Russia's defense department and defense policy, especially in the coming period, Russia is in a critical period of increasing defense investment and promoting national defense modernization, and his appointment is also regarded by the outside world as Putin's response to and handling the problem of corruption in the Ministry of Defense.
After all, he is not from the military, and he has relatively little understanding and mastery of military affairs, so in his future work, he will inevitably face various challenges and problems, and he needs to work closely with the military top level to jointly promote the in-depth development of national defense modernization and military reform, and this also poses a new challenge and test for Russia's national defense policy and strategic direction.
This means that in the future development of Russia's national defense, it may pay more attention to the economic perspective and role, after all, the current international situation is still very complex and severe, various security threats and challenges come and go, and Russia's defense spending is also increasing, how to further enhance national defense strength and promote national defense modernization under limited resources, not only to ensure national security, but also to take into account the sustainable development of the economy, this is undoubtedly a very complex and arduous system engineering, It also requires people with deep economic and strategic vision to carry out scientific decision-making and research.
