This is 21st century war against 20th century despot.

Russia seems to be preparing for conscription, despite claiming otherwise. (Claiming otherwise, I seem to have heard that connected to Russia a bit lately).

But it doesn't have infrastructure to move a large army to Ukraine anyway, or fight with it. Especially if Putin is humiliated continually on battlefield.

However, it would torpedo Putin's internal charade.

Quick economic collapse will cause Putin's retirement, along with a large swathe of his apparatus.
