The United States has also failed in recruiting competent military troops -- they even relaxed the literacy and "criminal infractions" rules. Young people, even the poorest, do not want to die, nameless, in a foreign land. However, the young Russians do not understand how NATO fights, decimates infrastructure and civilians in the name of collateral damage. The soldiers that saw what NATO did in Syria understand that these barbaric actions have no place in Russia, or any country. If your President's strategy has failed, certainly a larger, more aggressive battle, was never part of the plan. You must campaign actively for peace. You must stand strong against NATO's deception but resist the corrupt politics that has destroyed Ukraine. You are a smart and ancient country. Americans are currently following a fool's course in history, and have yet to prove its worth. May peace prevail
Fascinating to learn about the the “Putin social contract” (limited freedoms in exchange for political passivity from the peasants) and the ramifications of its abrogation.
Russian citizens are mostly angry that Putin has taken such a softly softly approach to the agression in the Donbas. His popularity seems to be slipping at home, but it is far above any other European leader's approval rating and leaves the US leaders approval rating for dead (excuse the pun).
