I agree with Chapman, there is a possible tipping point approaching in the weeks or months ahead when a meltdown becomes a cascading breakdown in military and civilian infrastructure and logistics. The lack of resistance against Ukrainian forces in Kursk may be precursor of upcoming events. With the removal of vehicle bridges, it is only matter of time before transmission towers, gas pipelines, and rail bridges/links are destroyed and Belgorod drifts out of Moscow's orbit. For residents of these regions (Kursk and Belgorod) the current artificial border between these oblasts and Ukraine will be open as it was in soviet days. Putin's assumption of national pride for the Russian motherland is dead.

Similar to Stalin when he purged his commanders and generals. Russia has always been more concerned about blind obedience from it's military than competence. In that respect, Russia has succeeded in building a military that is totally incompetent. Centuries ago there was Vlad the Impaler in Wallachia, and now Russia has Vlad the Failure.
They seem to be loyal to putin, though, in spite of all their other faults. Putin's assassins are usually sent after people who are deemed disloyal to the tsar, not the incompetents. My guess is that they will more likely be retired to some inconsequential administrative positions with no real influence or power.

Kremlin political intrigues are comparable to a bulldog fight under a rug. An outsider only hears the growling, and when he sees the bones fly out from beneath it is obvious who won. ~ Winston Churchill We've already seen Putin playing musical chairs with his council somewhat. I'm not sure putting the FSB in charge of the combat troops in Kursk makes sense, but then, why should it? You'd expect Putin to pull more resources from Donbas to fight in Kursk, but so far it doesn't appear he's doing so. Perhaps he's caught in the "sunk cost fallacy," and expects his investment in the east is too important to give up on, relative to protecting Russian territory in the Kursk oblast. Another consideration is that the quality of Russian logistic capabilities is very low. Moving troops, trucks, big guns, etc., from Donbas to Kursk is a daunting task. It's hundreds of kilometers over less than optimum roads.
Railway in ruzzia is rumored to have not enoug spareparts for maintance ... Logistical hard to move a lot quick if you are öimited in the number of trains you can run outside shedule.
The “sunk cost fallacy” explanation is certainly plausible-it is a common error people make. But I wonder whether it explains this particular puzzle. Could it be that the Kremlin believes the incursion into Kursk serves its purposes somehow, perhaps with recruitment? Could it be that shifting forces to defend Kursk is now beyond Russian capacity, i.e., your second consideration?

It appears so far that the general is a bad Kassandra. Putin didn’t take the bait and instead Russians are doing pretty well in the Pokrovsk direction - which is far more strategically important. If it goes as so far it goes, one may say that Ukrainians failed in luring Putin to the Kursk region and instead cheated themselves.
What does Gen. Chapman think about the potential isolation for military purposes of Belgorod as a result of the Kursk incursion? That would be a big deal, wouldn't it?
When dictators purge their generals it’s a sign that things are NOT going well. It also increases the risk of the generals getting fed up with the dictator and “removing” him.
Does the general even study Why in the battle of Singapore, Japan lost 1000 soldiers and took 100,000 British POWs. And why in the battle of Hong Kong, Japan lost 700 soldiers and took 10,000 British POWs.
Or family members of “The Dear Leader” (word around the campfire is Vova’s niece is now a deputy MOD leader…did I mention that she has no military training or experience whatsoever ? )
Wasn't he in charge of route in lower Ukraine? And then he was put in charge pf the Kurch area. Who did that? That is the person that needs be done with. Oops! It's Poo10 isn't it?
If the Russians agree with Putins View that Ukraine is not a real Country, then Kursk Oblast is not realy invaded by a foreign Country and therefore they dont need to realy fight against it.😂
It's kind of like all the stock market bears who have been predicting a 70% downturn over the last three years. Eventually it might happen. And only then they will pound their chest and say, "I told you so!"
Kharkiv wasn't a Russian loss. It was a sensible withdrawal. The winter was approaching, there is one bridge and they were surrounded. They would have been cut off during winter, especially if the bridge was compromised. Ukraine didn't force any retreat or withdrawal. It was a sensible decision. Media narrative and biases over and over.
Stalin did a purge then paid for it during WWII or The Great Patriotic War. Second, a coach can only with with good players. A good coach can take mediocre players and make them better but…is the Russian military capable of supplying even mediocre solders?
How does changing the personnel get at the root of the problem? Everyone is corrupt. Any change is same for same. Additionally, the caution against changing horses in mid stream is clearly not a Russian proverb and if it does exist, it’s neglected common sense.
Putin is the only one to blame but he needs culprits to save face and make people forget that he is a shame and a dishonor for great Russia through his incompetence!!!
What if Putin doesn't care about losing a sliver of territory and doubles down on the Donbass while Ukraine's best units are in Kursk? We keep expecting Putin to care for his people like a democratically elected westerner.
The thing is Putin is already pushing into Donbass at max capacity, they can't double it because there are no troops left to double. It's a lose-lose situation, he either continues doing the same thing, or withdraws to try and retake Kursk.
If he doesn’t stop Ukraine‘s advances, it will not stay a sliver and even endanger his Kharkiv offensive. So he has to react strong enough to stop Ukraine from just advancing at a currently way faster pace than any of the Russian offensives do. As Putin doesn’t have a second army in his bunker, he will have to decide where he does allocate scarce resources. So bottom line: If Putin decides to ignore Ukraine’s offensive, he will simply lose all of Russia. Doubling down on the Donbass is impossible as he doesn’t have a second army hidden away somewhere.
