    The Manchurian campaign of WW2 was probably the pinnacle of performance of the Russian Army. It's never been that kind of well oiled machine before or since. Winter War was not just a tactical but also a logistical nightmare. Same with the early months of WW2. Same with WW1 and Russo-Japanese war. Russian mentality overall is very prone to screwing things up and not caring. It's just the way they are.

    Can something be done, short of invading Russia and forcibly removing him from power?
    Yes, actually. If he's kicked out of Crimea by force, Russians themselves will remove him from power. He'll be considered a disgrace no longer fit to rule Russia. As for us marching on Moscow? You don't ever march on Moscow, everybody knows that.
