[Why is Western Propaganda Gunning For Zelensky? Aid Has Been Cut to Continue the Cull, There Is No New Russian Army! Kissinger's Death Ends Peace Chances For Puppet Putin, Zelensky to Be Abandoned!?]
Nikolas English is better than probably like half the population of the US but when he tries to explain something especially complex like what he means by political will or the nature of backdoor agreements between Zog and the Kremlin it's obvious that his mental dialogue is in Slovenian. Like if he had more time to write out his thoughts and translate them he could but on the fly he comes off as vague.
By the Kremlin not having the political will to win I think he just means that the Political shot callers in Russia think they can't survive taking concrete steps to achieve victory. For example the people that make these decisions don't want to burn anymore bridges with the West, but escalating the war necessitates doing just that. The Kremlinites don't have the will to win if it means setting up a massive infastructure apparatus that they can't profit off of. Establishing the logistics and massive industrial output is an investment that they won't get anything out of, for them it's just a massive financial back hole so they will isn't there.
Remember these are the people that dismantled and sold off the USSRs industrial base. They scrapped the space program. These rats live off financial parasitism not actual production which may benefit the peasantry. Also they loath any kind appeal to Russian identity, a massive mobilization however would require that. Russian society could easily handle the sacrifices if they were perceived as being for Russia, but society would start getting surly if massive losses were taken on behalf of the current order which the peasantry loathes. That's why the Kremlin is wary of a more straight forward mobilization and does it on the sly and only gathers enough meat to keep the front from imploding. The will to do more isn't there because it requires a compromise they are terrified of.
Ita always a narrative war. There are two possible narratives offered by the "cosmopolitan class"- one low and the other high (for sake of argument} when someone has a possible play to their disadvantage. And one costs you a little but has little return, and one costs more with a high return. They are able to skew the choice into the low option, not the high, by using the narrative.
An example- RU could do this Special Needs Operation with basically bumpkins and zeks at a low cost. Send some expendables to die for the tie, make Donetsk more liveable. Nabulina is happy, Gref is happy and all the cosmopolitans lose a little on the front end, but make it back on the long. But they lose in the narrative, since the gamemakers can say they tried and failed to do something big, like whatever the Duran thinks will happen next week.
Or they could massively mobilize, Nabulina would be sad and Gref would have to eat only orphans and such instead of the progeny of the fit. And the cosmopolitans would say "they are trying to take gay Paree". Either way the narrative is one of failure, because there is no one outside of Medvedev's twitter that wants to roll through the Fulda gap. This was the problem with the mealy-mouthed SNO goals, they were probably given to allow flexibility, but that flexibility was turned on the Putin. Rug-pulled again!!!
So they had to decide whether to win the narrative (unless you control it you can't) or win something actual, and the oligarchs were appeased. Only the muzhiks lose, and thats kosher.
The bearded men in black suits who wear their hats indoors, and who are frequently photographed tickling the tummies of Putin, Zelensky, Trump, Biden etc. as they get favoured treatment, will ensure the not-quite-war continues until Heavenly Jerusalem is attained.
Why they did not mobilize men: to my understanding its against international law when you have not declared war. Putin knows law and he did not declare war.
"Nationalists represent a serious threat to the Russian regime." historically, this has always been the case in Russia whatever the regime, from the czars onward. Very interesting talk full of questions that nobody can answer. Agree that shouldn't we be able to learn from history how things might turn out right now? rather than thirty years later. I can't answer any questions posed here but im reading this interesting book Always With Honor: the Memoirs of General Wrangel and as he describes the battles between the reds and the whites, 1917, and his thwarted campaigns from powers behind the scenes, i get this sense from reading it there are a lot of lessons to learn about the current situation and his takes on the ukrainian mentality.
I saw that they have arrested a few illegal immigrants working in workshops, they don't seem to be going after the real troublemakers; Putin's working on his reelection next year.

Thank you for the information Rurik!
Please spend an hour looking into Who was Qaddafi and What he did for his people and his stance against the NWO. I then look forward to your comments.
Why they did not mobilize men: to my understanding its against international law when you have not declared war. Putin knows law and he did not declare war.
Maybe this answare your question. Refering to ? at 22:00min. I remember what the exact rulesare, regarding to mobilization but maybe you look into it.

I saw that they have arrested a few illegal immigrants working in workshops, they don't seem to be going after the real troublemakers; Putin's working on his reelection next year.
the patriarch said that the islamics were threatening russian identity too.
this kremlin democide policy is so insanely unpopular.
