To be honest and comfort a bit, all the described issues of the Z-force are not solved overnight. The tools are bad (they can't build 2000 modern tanks, 4000 APCs or a thousand artillery pieces due to multitude of issues and not in the timeframe that would make any difference in years to come), the chain of command would require something that will not happen (taking rosguardia, army, wagner et al under same command, but whose command), they do not have the training (none of them in the aforementioned groups, and those who have it is different training without joint force experience), they don't have the motivation to fight (if the president gets billions as his cut, politbyro take millions, generals get a bit less and so on, what does regular Ivan? Takes his cut as washing machines. Thats his only motivation). The list goes on.
The issues lie so deep in the system itself that it will not be solved by just adjusting the fuse, so to say.
It will require a reform of the entire country, its culture and their thinking. It didn't happen during the 30 years after the Iron Curtain came down, it will not happen by christmas this year either. And definately not under the dictatorship of a Cold war era dinosaur who thinks he's the saviour of Russia and the modern day Peter the Great.
Which reminds of an anecdote I heard the other day:
This is Radio Yerevan, we are ready to answer our listeners questions
Q: Is it true that Vladimir Putin is as great of a leader as Peter the Great was?
A: well, all we can say is that they both successfully brought Russia to 18th century.
