   The Russians still understand war.

   Much better than NATO, at least.

   The military ... has been financialised

   Not even the worst of it. The US is so hyper-regulated that it can't even supply its own raw steel at this point, much less weapons. There aren't even factories that make tools to build factories to make weapons. The US would be lucky to keep the tractors running if it got cut off from global trade at this point.

   "what can improve the bottom line of the MIC"

   The oligarchs are well known for scamming the ministry of defense, but are still amateurs compared to Boeing and Lockheed. Much of this, I believe, is due to the Russian government not having as much money to throw away (embezzle) as the US. They would if they could but they can't so they don't.

   DIE

   About says it all.

   What they did making FABs seni-guided bombs that can fly giving them wings is short of fantastic. Transforming fleets of obsolete fighter planes into mobile flying missile batteries; again pure common sense.

   Nothing new. JDAMs had similar wing kits as far back as 2006.

   first military blunder

   Their first major strategic blunder was giving back their nukes, but that was long before the war started. Their first strategic blunder of the war was not doing some quick back-of-the-napkin math and realizing they are much smaller than Russia in every way and would need to minmax the whole fucking country in order to have a shot at winning.

   I honestly don't believe there are many fanatics running things over there or with their allies. They are thieves pretending to be fanatics, which is much worse.

     That wasn't a problem, in fact was a relief for everybody, as you say the country is corrupt to the core and they would have been A) unable to maintain the arsenal, and B) they would have sold nukes and nuke tech to the entire world.
     
     The Russians had no problem with Ukraine, they had a problem with encroaching NATO advance and the west CIA meddling on Russian turf.
     
     The lack of nukes are a problem now when Ukraine's government and war is State Department/CIA run. One has to be very naive to believe anybody in the west gives a damn about Ukraine's independence beyond "muh democracy, muh rotchild central bank sponsoring anal sex rights for minors".

     Trust me they have true believers there, it goes back to many centuries, you get these people almost everywhere in Europe, it is a phenomenon similar to the Evangelicals in FUSA.
