On its face such a rapid collapse seems far fetched. Can you clarify what you mean by general military collapse and what (likely) facts support your prediction? Does collapse mean military personnel supporting their strategic nuclear weapon sites don't show up for work in 2 weeks?
No, nuclear weapons for Russia include many tactical nuclear devices that are not anything like the ICBM sites of fifty years ago, although those are still around, antiquated maybe rusting just lke the US ones. The ones of today are small and versatile, not withstanding their horrible consequences. I am not discing nuclear weapons.
Four (4) Russian General officers were killed in action in Ukraine as of yesterday, as was reported. Are General officers ever deployed in field actions?
Is that presence a sign of severe disarray? How many General officers are ever killed in combat? As any person you know who has ever served on combat if that is a sign of success or even minimal preparedness.
Numerous Russian aircraft have been shot down by ground forces. Think about that. Are those aircraft properly prepared for serious combat?
Several thousand Russian soldiers have surrendered to Ukrainian forces. Is that likely with good support?
This list goes on. Russian logistics support is so overstretched that tanks, missile launchers, troop carriers and supply trucks have stopped from lack of fuel. Many surrendering Russian soldiers have no food.
Forget about the 800 Russian marines in mutiny in the Black Sea, and the plea to Syria, Russian Far East and Georgia troops to come to be deployed in Ukraine.
Is that a sign of good preparedness?
Yes, nuclear arms are a major and perhaps increasing threat. Russian protests in cities all over Russia, from Vladivostok to Saint Petersburg, are happening publicly and flamboyantly. When did that happen before in Russia. Cities and countries all over eastern Europe and former SSR's are being inundated with fleeing Russians (No, you will not see that on CNN. Check out news from Istanbul, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan. Check any country that allows Russians to enter without visa. Then check the ones that have large numbers of people who have dual citizenship from Russia. To be specific, look at recent arrivals in Israel of Israelis with Russian citxenhip (hint! think oligarch).
If you still think it is going smoothly with the Russian war effort then no evidence will convince you.Don't take my word for it. Everything I said is publicly documented, I did NOT interject my opinion, apart from realizing that military experts forecast fighting capacity of Russian forces to have serious decline in less than one week from yesterday, as stated on multiple broadcast news (Don't bother with CNN, Fox, or the US press, there're too preoccupied with human interest stories so don't really look at the fundamentals.
The primary question is whether there are Russian people with sufficient access and determination to change decision making. Just remember the Afghanistan rout ended with Gorbachev ending his rule. Russia lost fewer soldiers there than they have already lost in Ukraine. Check the numbers, don't take my word for it.
I firmly believe this will end somehow with the next two weeks. The aftermath will last decades. If this ended with nuclear weapons usage the end time will probably change little but the consequences will be incalculable.
