  1. True but such Russians are not the stuff front line combat soldiers are made of. And them going abroad makes Putin more secure domestically.

  2.  @AndrewBlucher  In war subpar human resources are sometimes just the ticket. Both sides are progressing by using low quality troops in small groups to draw fire so that the artillery gf the enemy can be pinpointed by drones and destroyed. The Russians invented those tactic and used the Zconvicts as cannon fodder to draw fires. but Ukraine is having to use troops who are ordinary men for such high attrition roles. Both Ukraine and Russia are going to pay very dearly in demographic consequences for this war.

  4.  @ComradeOgilvy1984  They cannot compete in innovation or enterprise anyway. Their strong point can be seen is how they are taking T55s out of storage and sending them to Ukraine, and criminals from prison. I think the Russian way is to drag things down to a level where individual intelligence is superfluous.

  6. Russia has not had a another mobilisation because Putin wants to remain popular but also because he knows it would provoke America into giving more and better equipment. As many Ukrainians as needed to hold the Russians back can be equipped and will be equipped by America. The Russians understand that every move they made will be countered by US donating more and better equipment. Both Russia and Ukraine are instituting tough military discipline, so the troops are not going to have any choice but to fight. It is said that the Russian trenches are being constructed so the troops cannot withdraw from them safely. RusFed is not a polyglot empire like the USSR it is much more an ethic overwhelming majority nation state, and the Russians are going to benefit from patriotism no less than the Ukrainians. The Russian may lack will, but he is willing perhaps more than willing to suffer (Dostoevsky's Russian 'soul'). Breaking the morale of the populace Putin rules would be a challenge.
