[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how long the Russian troops will last.  I find it odd that they need Syrians and Chinese to help when they have “850,000” in their military.

Maybe 30k are wounded or dead but they still have a lot of people to throw in.

They can’t, who will then ensure that it doesn’t flare up in Caucasus, Georgia or Transnistria if they do that. [/quote]

Russia has relatively few soldiers in those areas. Putin’s real problem is that he has publicly promised inside Russia that he is not using Russian conscripts for this “special military operation”.  Except, it turns out he was using some conscripts, and when they started to come home in coffins and their moms started to get phone calls from their babies informing them that they were now POWs of Ukraine, it angered the Russian soldiers’ mothers who are a powerful politica force and not afraid to challenge authority.

Putin had to apologize for the error in the use
of conscripts and fire some people.

Also, it is new conscript season when people come to sign up for the military - Putin doesn’t exactly want these new conscripts that they are really meat foe the grinder that Ukraine has turned out to be.

So, although Russia has, on paper, a large military in terms of personnel, if Putin uses them, he will suffer more blowback internally. [/quote]
