The war probably would’ve been over long ago had the US and EU denied visas to all Russian nationals. All the rich Russians left and are enjoying their lives abroad on European beaches, facing zero repercussions instead of being outcast by the western world. If they were stuck spending their money in Russia, I doubt the oligarch class would let this war continue.

I just checked exchange rates and it appears that USD/RUB is fairly stable this year... surprisingly. And stable on the 5D chart too. I was really hoping for some Schadenfreude, I'm sure it'll tank eventually. And I wonder if Saudi Arabia dropping the USD/petrodollar for oil is going to impact any of those global currency exchange rates.

They are committing a genocidal war.
They are doing so because Putin commands them.
There is no pushback, neither by actions in the country nor by mutinies at the front, meaning they are willing to submit to it.
Their moral duty would be to mutiny, return to Russia and get rid of Putin.
All power comes from the people, regardless of who is in charge. -> Power begets responsibility -> All responsibility lies with the people, regardless of who is in charge.
If there is a dictator making orders which are crimes against humanity it is the moral **duty** of the people to remove said dictator.

If he doesn't mark them as dead aren't they still getting paychecks as living soldiers anyway?
I am legitimately curious how this is handled. Are there families in Russia who have not seen or heard from their family members in years but they just get paid until they are eventually reported as dead?
What is the payout to their family if they die in combat?

Yes indeed! Failing to win the battle of Britain was already the beginning of the end in terms of one domino falling after the other. Loss of air superiority, RAF building up whilst they lost a bulk of their Luftwaffe strength, and a continuation of the western front meaning they have to use the resources and manpower for a 2 front war, was a very early death sentence.
Obviously it's a massive simplification and many other events has to have happened for it to end the way it did and when it did, but basically it was doomed almost from the beginning.
I'll try and find a paper for it but I'm traveling rn, off top of my head it's discussed at length on Rest Is History podcast episode; 1940. Guest star is James Holland, expert in wwII. Fascinating episode.

They are objectively winning, I know you are a obvious ukrainian nationalist considering spelling crimea krym, but dont dig your head in the sand. And they arent using T55s as tanks, but as artillery pieces, because a guns a gun and in a p2p conflict having more guns matters more than what they are.

Bro forgets the constant, and rightful, protests during the Vietnam War. We didn't pull out because we were losing, we pulled out because the war became WILDLY unpopular.
Took too long and the U.S shouldn't have invaded at all, but there ya go.
Also, despite the fact that U.S soldiers have undoubtedly committed war crimes like every other army on this planet, they are not systemic. That is to say, you're not gonna see American conscripts raping Russian prisoners, kidnapping children and all the other terrible shit happening over there.

Sure, obsessing over maps is stupid apart from understanding that they reflect the war effort.
But it gave Russia a lot of breathing space to rebuild forces, get an edge over some weapons like glide bombs and more. This, like the fear of escalation and failed deliveries of weapons when they were most needed, will have a long term effect on the war effort.

So people did say it, Putin did expect to invade the whole of Ukraine more or less like he did with Crimea.
If you want to be nitpicky, Putin said two weeks (https://time.com/3259699/putin-boast-kiev-2-weeks/). "There are over 700 000 fighting yet somehow Russia is on year two in your full-on war with NATO on your two-week special military operation" pretty much has the same point and should be repeated and people reminded that the oh-so-powerful military has failed and said military should be embarrassed.

Of course he cares, immensely. Nobody is as terrified of public opinion as a dictator.
The security forces of Russia maintain order by making individual resistance seem futile, which it almost always is, but popular movements of millions of people terrify them.
The organization of the soldier's mothers was banned because it brought attention to the casualties, but if there is a general mobilization the government can't hide the extent of the casualties they are taking in Ukraine, and people will start to turn against the government.
It's the whole reason why they are scrounging up manpower from literally anywhere except ethnic Russian citizens. Wagner, the Chechens, the prisoners, the Chinese mercenaries, the Africans now, literally anything to avoid another mobilization and the ensuing dip in opinion.

Well, Rusians (in Russian, Putin regime context) are just thugs. They don't get the limited resources concept. All their lives - if they need something - they just assault someone to get it. Now they robbed their own country so much, it's too poor for the bandits financial needs. Robbing other countries from the other hand generates further costs. The Russian propaganda all over the world was repeating for the last 2 years - "the Russian resources are UNLIMITED. They have unlimited money cheat, they can produce infinite amount of weapons and ammo." It appears it was a lie that can't be maintained much longer.

>soldiers in 1917 were given absurd amounts of freedoms by the Provisional Government
I assume you're referring to Order Number 1? This was a desperate attempt to stop get soldiers who were already leaving the war in droves, a compromise because the war effort was in shambles. There was no clause in it allowing for soldiers to vote out their officers, though it did give them an excuse to simply muscle them out and/or kill them.
They had many issues well before the Tsar was overthrown that caused soldiers to mutiny and/or dessert. Pointing guns at soldiers telling them to go to the front or get shot, lack of training, lack of supplies, and lack of direction, and huge amounts of casualties, wounded were all characteristic of the Russian army at that time. Many soldiers let themselves be captured by German forces instead of dying in a losing war. By the time of "The Great Retreat" things were so desperate that Nicholas made the fateful decision to dismiss Grand Duke Nikolai and take command of the army himself... They squandered the war well before the revolution.. if it had been more successful its possible the revoution had never taken place to begin with (though many doubt that.. the people were fed up the Tsarist and many argue it was only a matter of time before somebody overthrough them, see 1905).
As far as the Provential government, it simply had no power over these men to stop them from deserting the army nor stopping any of the nationalist uprisings in Ukraine, Finland, Georgia, Albania etc. The revolution was the catalyst for many more soldiers to leave and/or mutiny. Order Number 1 was a desperate attempt by the Soviets to retain discipline and order, get soldiers to return to the barracks.
The Provential Government was paralyzed by the Soviets AND had a bitter struggle amongst themselves on what to do about the war, the constant inflighting between the Menshiviks and Social Revolutionaries (and ofc the Soviets pretty much having all the power but none of the organization) tied their hands as to what should be done about the war. I've read quite a lot about this subject and I didn't find anything that mentioned 'more freedom' as a reason for the mutinies that occured during the brief Kerensky "leadership", less you consider that they simply had more freedom because they no longer had to answer to the Tsar, which was more of a mental thing than anything.
>More often than not in an authoritarian countries loosening restrictions rather than implementing them is often where the real problems begin.
I don't know which ones you're referring to, but in the case of Russia, any freedoms given to the people were either forced upon the government by the people or a compromise to keep them from going full on French Revolution. The Tsar set up the Duma as a quasi-compromise to keep things from getting to out of hand after the 1905 rebellian, but even then kept it from actually doing anything to help the peasents and working class. It could be argued that, if he had allowed for more democratic representation under the Duma hence allowing for a dual-power structure, he wouldn't have been overthrown (though possibly relegated to something like the British Monarchy over time but that's pure speculation).

>soldiers in 1917 were given absurd amounts of freedoms by the Provisional Government
I assume you're referring to Order Number 1? This was a desperate attempt to stop get soldiers who were already leaving the war in droves, a compromise because the war effort was in shambles. There was no clause in it allowing for soldiers to vote out their officers, though it did give them an excuse to simply muscle them out and/or kill them.
They had many issues well before the Tsar was overthrown that caused soldiers to mutiny and/or dessert. Pointing guns at soldiers telling them to go to the front or get shot, lack of training, lack of supplies, and lack of direction, and huge amounts of casualties, wounded were all characteristic of the Russian army at that time. Many soldiers let themselves be captured by German forces instead of dying in a losing war. By the time of "The Great Retreat" things were so desperate that Nicholas made the fateful decision to dismiss Grand Duke Nikolai and take command of the army himself... They squandered the war well before the revolution.. if it had been more successful its possible the revoution had never taken place to begin with (though many doubt that.. the people were fed up the Tsarist and many argue it was only a matter of time before somebody overthrough them, see 1905).
As far as the Provential government, it simply had no power over these men to stop them from deserting the army nor stopping any of the nationalist uprisings in Ukraine, Finland, Georgia, Albania etc. The revolution was the catalyst for many more soldiers to leave and/or mutiny. Order Number 1 was a desperate attempt by the Soviets to retain discipline and order, get soldiers to return to the barracks.
The Provential Government was paralyzed by the Soviets AND had a bitter struggle amongst themselves on what to do about the war, the constant inflighting between the Menshiviks and Social Revolutionaries (and ofc the Soviets pretty much having all the power but none of the organization) tied their hands as to what should be done about the war. I've read quite a lot about this subject and I didn't find anything that mentioned 'more freedom' as a reason for the mutinies that occured during the brief Kerensky "leadership", less you consider that they simply had more freedom because they no longer had to answer to the Tsar, which was more of a mental thing than anything.
>More often than not in an authoritarian countries loosening restrictions rather than implementing them is often where the real problems begin.
I don't know which ones you're referring to, but in the case of Russia, any freedoms given to the people were either forced upon the government by the people or a compromise to keep them from going full on French Revolution. The Tsar set up the Duma as a quasi-compromise to keep things from getting to out of hand after the 1905 rebellian, but even then kept it from actually doing anything to help the peasents and working class. It could be argued that, if he had allowed for more democratic representation under the Duma hence allowing for a dual-power structure, he wouldn't have been overthrown (though possibly relegated to something like the British Monarchy over time but that's pure speculation).

And now, after these sanctions, any figures that you Google for USD/Rubble conversion are meaningless because it is all being done OTC. Rates hit 200 to 1 today on OTC markets.

You know what, I'm completely wrong, I read it as you trying to say that anyone who questions these troops or the war in general deserves to be punished. I think I see now that you meant to infer that any normal person could be compelled to fight and that if one of us calling them terrorists were to have a gun to their head that they too could be forced to do the things that were calling them terrorists for. Am I correct? If so then my apologies, I thought you were coming off as someone who supported the invasion and thought all dissenters should be punished.

Like Russia they might try for a quick occupation and decapitation strike. Hell they might actually pull it off, but the consequences of fucking it up probably ends with chaos on the mainland.

Ukraine mobilized around 700.000 in the wake of the invasion and has mobilized more since.
The rule of thumb in warfare is that the attacker needs a 3:1 advantage in combat power to be successful.
Russia does not have a significant technological or firepower edge over it's adversary that would boost a 1:1 (roughly speaking)manpower ratio to anything like 3:1.
That means that Russia can only, by it's own admission, create localized superiority in numbers and firepower for short periods of time, before Ukraine shuffles it's manpower around to counter it, or rely on the defenders running out of ammunition and thus suffering a catastrophic drop in combat power.
This very much chimes with what we have been seeing from the frontlines over the last 3-6 months, and means that Russia has no real pathways to victory as long as Ukrainian willingness to defend remains high, and the supply of munitions from abroad does not let up.
