Jeep used to run ads in Aus where the neighbours would look at the next doors long grass and say what happened to the Jones and the answer was They got a Jeep.

People started adding comments like and it broke down and cant get the spares or they cant afford the fuel home.

And yes the spares are %^&* expensive. A friend replaced his Land Rover with a 2012 Jeep a few years back and when the transmission died two years back the repair was going to cost more than the car was worth and the local wreckers would not buy it.
 
"The spring call-up for a year's military service came several months after Putin said Russia should increase the overall size of its military to almost 2.39 million and its number of active servicemen to 1.5 million."

There are only about 140 million Russians, of which about 65 million are adult males. That means that almost 2% of the entire population, and nearly 4% of all adult males are in the military. Based on the scorecard to date, and if this war continues, of the 1.5 million active servicemen we can expect about 25% to be wounded and killed in Ukraine. All told, that is economically and demographically unsustainable and will be the undoing of the Russian state by the 2040s. Campaigns and laws like the below will make no difference.

Of course Ukraine is also facing a demographic time bomb and must entice its recent diaspora to return to rebuild the nation.
