A quick little article on Russia’s mobilization plans for this year and next:

Russia is going to mobilize 300k troops this year, and another 300k next year. Wow, that’s quite a large number.

Almost certainly wishful thinking, but I'm really hoping Putin pulls off a repeat of the WWI outcome in Russia.

There’s a chance of something major like that happening, because putin is in between a rock and a hard place like we say over in the USA. He can’t just give up or he’ll have a ton of disaffected vets that might start a revolution on his ass, and so he must keep fighting even to the point of destroying Russia. Another possibility is that he’ll be assassinated or just die bc of health. But either way it’s probably going to be a lot bigger than just Russia giving up.
