I'm not sure it can be well argued I don't know much about Russia, so I'm staying the opinion. The Russian willingness to fight isn't that great and certainly way worse that the Ukrainians.

I also never heard of two-week supply of Russian rockets, though I heard economic collapse predictions which didn't materialize. But I also heard about Kiyev in three days plans.

Really, Russian military potential is greatly oversold.

Not Russians, Russia. The people will never revolt against the government. Their military is corrupted and disorganized, but can be supplied with practically unlimited amounts of dumb weapons and soldiers. The only question is how far is their government willing to go.

And also, Putin should be considered as a moderate part of the government.

In other words, it’s amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t care about human lives.

All of that in practice won't really matter. Neither practically possible supplies of people nor weapons won't help Russian leadership.
How do you imagine that? Applying common sense and values on Russians?
