Wondered about this as well. Not surprising that Putin isn't going anywhere near Crimea.
Maybe the place is just falling apart?

It's further away from Crimea than where the Black Sea Fleet was moved to on the eastern shore of the Black Sea. Closer to Iran than the front in Ukraine.

North Korea may send its troops to Ukraine to help Russia, the head of South Korea's National Defence Ministry, Kim En-hyun, has said
Since Russia and North Korea have signed a mutual treaty similar to a military alliance, the possibility of such a deployment is very likely.
Earlier it became known that six DPRK officers, who came to exchange experience with the Russian military, were eliminated near Donetsk.
In addition, the South Korean military recorded signs of construction of a submarine with a nuclear propulsion system in the DPRK, reports Yonhap.

"Full withdrawal of the AFU from the "DPR", "LPR", Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions; recognition of the territorial realities enshrined in the Ukrainian Constitution; Ukraine's neutral, non-aligned, nuclear-free status; its demilitarisation and denazification; ensuring the rights, freedoms and interests of Russian-speaking citizens and lifting all sanctions against Russia," the Kremlin horse said.

The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grushko stated that NATO is preparing for a military confrontation with Russia. According to him, the Alliance is "testing various logistical routes for troop deployment across the Atlantic, placing weapon stockpiles on the eastern flank, and deploying contingents. Military budgets are being inflated, and the economy is being militarized. In addition to confrontational rhetoric, NATO is continuously increasing the level of tension toward Russia."
He further added that Russian military planning should make it clear that attempting to speak to Moscow in the language of force is pointless. However, the reality is quite different — for the third year now, Ukraine has not only been resisting but also vividly demonstrating the place the so-called 'Russian Federation' is destined to occupy in the garbage heap of history.

Russia obviously has all kinds of problems after this too and will for decades, but driving them into China’s arms is probably worse for the world long term than if they just quickly won this war for a country that doesn’t really matter anyway.
can you explain your thought process here? not criticizing, im legit trying to understand how russia being under china could be worse than current russia
i say that because China has their own economic problems
everything else i 100% agree with

The average daily Russian casualties (killed and wounded) in Ukraine reached a new monthly war high during September 2024. The average daily loss rate was 1,271 per day compared to the previous monthly war high of 1,262 recorded in May 2024, according to Ukrainian General Staff reporting. Since the start of the conflict Russia has likely suffered over 648,000 casualties.
The increase in the casualty rate since May 2024 is almost certainly due to the extension of the combat zone to include both Kharkiv and Kursk military operations, and increased intensity along the frontline. Russian forces highly likely continue to attempt to stretch Ukrainian forces by utilising mass to overwhelm defensive positions and achieve tactical gains.
Russia's casualty rate will likely continue to average above 1,000 a day for the rest of 2024 despite the onset of winter. To date winter conditions have not resulted in a reduction of offensive operations or attrition rates due to Russia's reliance on dismounted tactics and a lack of manoeuvre warfare, which requires better conditions.
these numbers are staggering to me. absolutely insane. 1200+ killed per day. They are losing more in a week then the US did in 20 years in afgan and iraq combined!!! That is nuts
what is even crazier is that in WW2, they averaged over 20x that per day.
Current daily loss is 6x that of what the US averaged in WW 1 & 2, and over 7x what the US averaged losing per day during Vietnam. Total loses for russia in Ukraine is literally over 10x what the US lost during the whole Vietnam war and 1.5 what the US lost in all of WW2.
Russia is currently losing as many in 2 days in Ukraine as the US lost during DDay
Death toll is staggering imo for both sides. Pray trump gets in and can end this bullshite

Russia before this conflict was strong enough to stand on its own legs economically + militarily. It bit off more than it could chew because I don't think they assumed Ukraine would do as well as they have or that western support would be as significant as it has been.
But despite being a powerful country, its blatantly obvious at this point that they were no real threat to NATO even before the invasion. So despite them being bad actors around the world in various areas, they weren't making anyone else a real threat and weren't a real threat themselves either.
Now they are dealing with an indefinite conclusion to this conflict, years of economic sanctions, military strikes on significant parts of their economy, a leader that I don't see lasting another 10 years and maybe not even 3-5 in his current role whether its him getting the boot or just being old, and a military that will need a significant rebuild after this is over all the while still likely dealing with long term sanctions, rebuilding their country, rebuilding whatever they end up keeping of Ukraine, and demographic problems. To me thats a recipe for at best a strong codependency on China if not Russia becoming outright subservient, which we don't want. We want them divided.
Without western help Ukraine maybe lasts, what, a year? Year and a half? The specifics don't really matter, but its less than they will in the current timeline with our help. So even if Russia did take over the entire country they are stronger than they will be now but still weaker than they were before the war, still not a real threat to anyone we actually care about, yet still strong enough to stand on their own legs.
Its not the most ethical way to operate geopolitically, but I think the world is probably a better place in 10-15 years this way than it will be in our timeline. OR instead of what Biden has been doing, holding back our good weapons and tech from Ukraine, give them the good shite from the beginning. By trickling out weapons and permissions like they have been they are just doing a worse version of what I laid out (let them kill themselves if they want to) that costs more lives and spends more dollars.

I think the rebuild has already happened, they've purged the leaders who didn't know what they were doing, and they've become a fully modern army in the way we understand it. No one has more combat experience than they do now. And with the way you wear through equipment, the average age of their hardware has decreased. What they have will be whatever their version of the latest and greatest is.
The war will have changed some of their design assumptions, the T-14 turret is probably too lightly armoured for example, and so you'll see new hardware over the next five to ten years, that's designed around their experience in Ukraine. But that's all reactive.
