You could say it'd be to my symferon.Kyriakos may help Russia with designing fortifications for different *pol cities in Black Sea coast.

The number of people each country can in theory mobilize is irrelevant. Noone can equip that kind of numbers except a the most primitive of light infantry units in militia/territorial defense roles with some little utility on defense but none whatsoever for offensive actions.
Western media reaction to the dam incident is unusually cautious - major outlets don't outright blame Russia, which is frankly speaking, surprising to me.
Population of Russia is over 140 million, half of that male. It is highly unlikely that only 1/7 (of 70 million) are males of age able to serve in the army.
If they'd have to mobilize thus, it would obviously be predated by a full war-economy (=equip soldiers etc).
Females age 18-49 | 29.06 million Ranked 4th. |
Males age 18-49 | 21.05 million Ranked 6th. |
Some days ago there was a report (I cannot find the link any longer), that Russia is preparing another water obstacle near the city of Tokmak.Are there other pieces of infrastructure that are contested? If another dam were to fail, I would assume it was caused by the side that controlled it.
The Russian state will run out of money long time before it will run out of people to sacrifice for Putin's cause. The Russian state budget reached its estimated all year deficit of $43bn, 3-4 months into 2023 after which Putin ordered his government to no longer release the figures to the public, as well as to find or 'invent' new revenue to balance the books. Don't know about you, but I don't think the IMF, World Bank or any other international player will bail out Russia this time, as they usually have when the Duma runs the economy or monetary policy into a ravine, since the fall of the USSR.
Russia can run deficits for probably another few years. Russia has some options to try and keep going like taxes, cut spending, selling state assets (to china, who else would be dumb enough to buy)
But as a general rule, weaker economy's implode under less debt since they are unable to service them or have the assets to back up such loans
It's just not worth bragging about killing tanks, is my point ^^ It's the analogous charge of the light brigade and they will be destroyed regardless if russian or german/usian/english/etc.
