@yogthos@marxist.network @immibis Material basis? Two things: the ever-increasing enlistment bonuses for enlistees, and the use of foreign mercenaries on the front lines.
Russia can stand another 18 months before their magazines and barracks dwindle. Less if Mr. Putin can't raise hard currency selling oil to buy crappy artillery and unskilled labor from North Korea.
When conscription starts, we'll see how long Mr. Putin can hold on to his job.
