Exactly. This is what they did in the past with their payments to unions and Labour which caused a lot of disruption. I hope we are wise to it this time.

I'd question the RMT tbh - since 2014 they've produced quite a few talking points which benefit Russia (taking a hard anti-NATO line along with stop the war etc, being pro-Brexit, wanting other countries not to help Ukraine etc). Whether they're directly funded or just captured by propaganda or influenced by pro-Russia sources who can say.
 
the russian failings - poor equipment, inadequate equipment, poor planning, poor training, poor tactics, etc. - all demonstrate the typical failures of a kleptocracy. Russia is run by thieves literally stealing the lifeblood of a country. At ever level of the structure, money is sucked out until those at the bottom are left without even their pay. And it all "works" until such time as it is required to do what it's there for. It will function initially but there's no depth to it. Its fragility is quickly exposed.

I feel very sorry for the grunts who had no choice.

( I do not feel sorry for any soldier that treats non-combatants or PoW without respect or empathy.)
