Nah he won't die for a while, but he and China will for sure do what is needed and has been planned for a while now to overthrow the ones operating and running Europe and America from the shadows.
Because we'll get to see it soon, I'm literally just waiting for the Russians to fake out NATO and U.S with the latest stuff.

"the 150,000 - 250,000 that were sent in were just mercenaries not even the primary Russian force'
VDV
Spetsnaz
1st Tank Army
2nd Combined Arms Army
8th Combined Arms Army
20th Combined Arms Army
29th Combined Arms Army
35th Combined Arms Army
36th Combined Arms Army
41st Combined Arms Army
39th Combined Arms Army
58th Combined Arms Army
What do the units above have in common?
They all entered Ukraine at full strength and were destroyed to the point of being considered 'spent forces'.
None of them are 'mercenaries' as you absurdly claimed.
But hey, perhaps the conscripts with zero training will save the day for russia.
So unless my 2 Russian sources are lying I don't think those were really sent in.

What about the drunks, the convicts, the students and the OAP's?
Why would he want or need to call them up if he has all these highly trained, highly motivated and highly equipped Armed Forces standing around doing NOTHING whilst Russian people are dying?
What is Putin's reasoning?
Less of the spin, less of the wriggling, less of deliberate avoidance......what is Putin's great plan and why?

Err....that makes no sense at all.
Putin said he wanted a quick victory with as little bloodshed and damage to infrastructure as possible.
To achieve that you send in your BEST forces.
You don't have to be a military genius to work that out.
