You're as deluded as Bakhmut Bob, Russia's military spokesman, who's the reincarnation of 2003's Baghdad Bob.
Russian nationalist Donbass rebel Igor Girkin disagrees with you about Russian soldiers' morale:
"On Tuesday, Girkin recounted what he saw at the front on Telegram and said that Russian troops are fighting with no clear "strategic goals."
"Simply put, the troops are fighting 'by inertia,' not having the slightest idea of the ultimate strategic goals of the current military campaign," he wrote, according to Insider's translation of his Telegram post.
He continued that the lack of a clear purpose and the conditions for victory or simply ending the war is causing "apathy" amongst the soldiers.
"In most parts of the RF (Russian Federation) Armed Forces, soldiers and officers do not understand: In the name of what, for what, and with what purposes they are fighting. It's a mystery for them: What is the condition for victory or just a condition for ending the war," Gurkin wrote. "And the authorities of the Russian Federation are not able to explain this to them, since setting a clear goal for the SMO [Special Military Operation] means 'limiting room for maneuver' — that is, losing the opportunity to declare the goals of the SMO as achieved at any moment that the Kremlin leaders consider convenient."
Predicting a Russian military collapse already underway isn’t necessary. Just listen to Russian soldiers’ intercepted conversations is enough: https://www.youtube.com/@insightsfromukraineandrussia/videos

'It's Not an Army Here': Russian Soldier Warns of Battlefield Collapse
Anadolu Agency via GettyRussia is said to be canceling plans to send new troops to Ukraine as more of its service…
When war broke out tens of thousands of Ukrainians living abroad rushed home to defend their country's independence. When Putin declared mobilization, 700000 Russians fled the country.
Ukraine's army in Kharkiv in September and Kherson in November doesn't look like "very close to its end".
Ukraine has HIMARS. Russia is begging Iran for drones and North Korea for artillery shells. Which would you prefer to go to war with?
