>Russia has no real military power<

Russia has plenty of military power, it is just that Russia may not be able to handle its own military power.

The idea that Ukraine can resist the fully mobilized Russian Federation - military and industry is plain silly.

The reason that this has not happened so far is because the people at the top fear that putting the entire country on war footing will result in internal instability will be the end of those people.

The upcoming annexation may change all that.
