This guy is delusional to the point that it makes him useless as an analyst or strategist. It's called logistics and morale. It's too late for Russia to catch up, it's a gas station run by corrupt oligarchs, and now with the sanctions and the brain drain they have nothing to build a future on. Their genocidal rapist horde is not going to magically turn into a competent army. Corruption is the way of life in Russia, and they have not much to show for all the talk they are talking. Terrorizing the Ukrainian population with Iranian drones and holding the world hostage with nuclear weapons is as good as it will ever get for Russia, which is now destined to join North Korea in irrelevance.
