Yep Russia should most certainly declare war. I am in full agreement with you "Brian". Along with, as you described, the lack of manpower in the military and its significant logistical problems, despite being the offensive army with the benefit of most of the advantages in terms of more hardware, larger available rail network support, advantage of docks for resupply, eg Mariupol.
But then there is the low morale which is unlikely to change by throwing a few more apples into the barrel, poor co-ordination and control, poor communication between elements, lack of respect for officers, poor resupply of daily essentials such as food and munitions. Yeah!!! Sure mobilise all your conscripts, removing them from their day jobs, see how long the population enjoys martial law restrictions without wanting to know why, because there are a limited number of police and security staff, reduce production, thereby further reducing your GDP.
Disconnect linking units in the production work flow, imposing more restrictions on finance, etc, etc....... Yeah. Please do, go on and declare war, mobilise your conscripts, transfer your manpower from the workforce where they are productive to the military where they are deductive and if they die - no return to the workforce, meaning additional losses using employees as trainers, making them nearly as unproductive as their assigned trainee....... Yeah!!! Go right ahead and declare a war. Good thinking "Brian."
Or were you simply making a cynical remark?

Any idea that Poo-tin had any concerns about the Russian speaking and ethnic population went out the window, years ago with mines planted, residential areas bombed and decimated with grenades, mortar attacks, artillery bombardment and random armed attacks that caused collateral casualties among civilians.
Then, turning the story around and attributing the blame for all the approximately 14,000 military and civilian deaths and casualties, that were caused as a result of the Russian invasion, back onto Ukraine. That really angered me. The responsibility for those deaths and casualties, to my way of thinking, rests squarely at the head of the Russian establishment.
The follow through military activity has caused further civilian and military deaths, survivors left homeless and destitute, dislocations, relocations; enforced or voluntary, refugee movements and destruction to the point of decimation. All this on the spurious pretext that he and his establishment were concerned about the welfare of the Russian speaking population, the majority of whom he has killed or made homeless, and "de-Nazifying" Ukraine. What an absolute and criminal farce.
I agree with you and others Troy, that this whole exercise is about acquisition of territory, resources and access to the means of transporting them through the Azov and Black Seas.
My personal wish is that this whole farce is somehow turned on its head for him and his establishment cronies, and that they see absolutely nothing for their efforts. But at what a terrible cost, mostly in terms of lives, but also in terms of residential and commercial buildings, Industrial complexes and the means of production, lost farm production, etc. In addition to that the cost to his own people, both in lives and economically.
And all of this, when reading the reports of Grozny in Chechnya and Georgia, just reads like the same story repeated, almost "word for word", in these three events, Chechnya, Georgia and Ukraine.

I don't agree, Joshua. Russia, at the present time, occupies little more land than its Russian regular military troops supporting the separatists, have held since 2014. That is despite the opportunity, during those years, to stockpile caches of supplies and hardware, including small arms at various locations in the Donbas region. Oh, yes!!!! all those areas have been bombed and bombarded, making recovery of materials very difficult, including simple food items. With all that dislocation, death and destruction, they have made so little progress.
Russia has made several unsuccessful advances all with a massive loss of military resources, both human and hardware. I really do not call that winning. We all generally believe that Poo-tin will not back down. A point on which are more likely to agree. However, we know nothing about what may happen tomorrow or any day following that.
Furthermore, to say that "no-one is helping the Ukraine" (sic) is to state a fallacy.
And, to be honest I cannot interpret the meaning of "......like with South Korea, and the Germans had the British and the Commonwealth and Americans against them."
It is my belief that you are likely to be a Poo-tin-bot or a gremlin-cremlin-creep, who {if you are human} that {if you are a machine} is pedalling a soft negative narrative.

I hope that, through enlightenment, the Russian people will be equally distressed, angry and prepared to seek retribution against the political perpetrators and guilty members of the Nazi Russian regime and army. Most particularly those in the upper echelons and war criminals. All this, I hope, will be the response when the Russian people come to know of the inhuman dislocations, homelessness, destitution, desolation, death and destruction imposed by their own army on a neighbouring country, where many of the population are family; brothers, sisters, parents, grand parents and children. These thoughts, combined with the grief associated with their own losses.
But was there any upwelling of anger at similar treatment meted out against Grozny in CHECHNYA, described at the following site:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grozny_(1994%E2%80%931995)
"The initial assault resulted in considerable Russian casualties and demoralization in the Russian forces. It took another two months of heavy fighting, and a change in tactics, before the Russian Army was able to capture Grozny. The battle caused enormous destruction and casualties amongst the civilian population and saw the heaviest bombing campaign in Europe since the end of World War II.[9]"
or GEORGIA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Georgian_War
The 2008 Russo-Georgian War[note 3] was a war between Georgia, on one side, and Russia and the Russian-backed self-proclaimed republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, on the other. The war took place in August following a period of worsening relations between Russia and Georgia, both formerly constituent republics of the Soviet Union. The fighting took place in the strategically important South Caucasus region. It is regarded as the first European war of the 21st century.[3
and now UKRAINE. The descriptions are SICKENINGLY SIMILAR
https://theconversation.com/ukraine-war-what-is-the-budapest-memorandum-and-why-has-russias-invasion-torn-it-up-178184
"The unfolding invasion of Ukraine will have far-reaching repercussions that extend way beyond a breach of international law and a violation of the country’s territorial integrity. As American international relations expert David Yost notes, Russia’s actions will weaken the credibility of major power security assurances, undermine the nuclear nonproliferation regime and dampen prospects for future disarmament.
"Putin’s decision to invade is in direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum, a key instrument assuring Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The memorandum was struck in 1994, following lengthy and complicated negotiations involving the then Russian president Boris Yeltsin, Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma, US president Bill Clinton and the then British prime minister John Major."
These stories have too great a similarity to the current situation in Ukraine. Will nothing come of these events and attacks on civil society, when the Russian people come to know of the inhuman dislocations, homelessness, destitution, desolation, death and destruction imposed by their own army on neighbouring countries and, in particular Ukraine right now, by Russia?
