Putin's nuclear saber-rattling is bullshit and the west should stop self-intimidating itself and give Ukraine everything it needs to kick the Russians out. There are no red lines for the Putin regime, just talk.

@gabrielesvelto My guess: the conscripts are going to do the fighting (under supervision of more experienced troops). |
Additionally it's worth pointing out that the fight within Russia will be highly asymmetric. The Russian regime managed to recruit enough cannon fodder for the war by promising salaries (and bonuses for getting wounded or dying) that are five times higher than that of a regular soldier... but those apply only *within Ukraine*. Good luck motivating poorly paid, poorly equipped Russian troops to go into human wave assaults to push back the Ukrainian armed forces.
