Reports seem to indicate that he's spent the better part of two decades slowly and systematically eliminating disagreeable-yet-competent military / government figures and replacing them with corrupt, pocket-lining yes-men. If so, the Ukraine invasion is the sudden yet inevitable comeuppance of his kleptocracy: the tanks don't work because no one in power invested the time / money to maintain them, the army's green because no one in power invested the time / money to train them, etc.

It's more like the same issues that plagued the Red Army in Afghanistan simply carried over to the Russian Federation. Which are exactly what you listed, it's just that those problems predate Putin.

Study a history of the operations since the fall of the USSR and you see the same shit. Difference being that Ukraine isn't Georgia or Chechnya. It's large enough to fight back.
