Its worth noting that if Putin is throwing Russia's last remaining BTGs into the fight (and there is conflicting evidence of this), the largest country in the world will be practically defenceless except for nuclear weapons.

And with the sanctions, building a new army will take much longer as Russia will need access to a large number of microchips etc. Just another one of the unprecedented examples of stupidity that VVP showed with this invasion.
Siberia exists as part of Russia now, solely because China lets it stay that way. Russians could do nothing to stop China taking whatever it wanted (but blow up the world). We have actually stepped back to US defense doctrine in the 1950s. Massive retaliation.
Who needs an army when you say that any attack will be met with a massive nuclear response? Sounds good...until you are faced with the reality of that choice.
