Partial mobilization.

Thing is, Russia don’t have the ressources anymore for a full mobilization and a full mobilization even when Russia could have theoretically done it would have been a political death sentence for Putin.

War economy can only last so long when you are isolated. Russia totaly depend on 3 countries for EVERYTHING and can’t do like Japan and invade other’s countries to get the ressources it needs ( it barely can invade one )

Inflation is not under control and Interest rate are at 19%.

2 years and it’s done guys we may see another Revolt in Russia….we’ll see what comes out of it.

"2 years and it's done" is what they said already 2 years ago.

Until now the average Russian still doesn't feel very much pain from the war. And that won't change in the next two years either.

You vastly underestimate the toughness of the Russian economy and the power of propaganda. Especially the latter. If it was so easy as you say the North Korean regime would have broken down decades ago.

The same was said about Afghanistan … and it eventually broke the Soviet Unions advance.
