Quick Glance: The Russian government is about to draft 300,000 new troops. It Will Not Be Able To Teach Them.
  • Even a lesser mobilization is likely to be more than the Russian army's training base can handle.

  • The fundamental issue, as the Russian army inducts possibly hundreds of thousands of disgruntled draftees, is that basic training is designed to be brief in the Russian system.

  • In Russia, front-line brigades are in charge of the majority of new personnel training.

  • With practically all Russian units in Ukraine and suffering catastrophic losses, there is even less spare capacity for large-scale training back home.

Quick Glance: The Real Weapon in Vladimir Putin's "Surprise" Invasion of Ukraine is Political Apathy.
  • We have already written on Putin's persistent calls to reintegrate Ukraine into the Russian fold.

  • Only a few decades of political cowardice can produce politicians like Putin.

  • So, the difficult question of why there is a conflict in Ukraine is not one of political knowledge, but of political apathy, if not outright apoliticism.

  • Political passivity has been mainly replaced with an existential struggle.
