Again, I am asking just to make sure.
I think Russia will be tired out, and that Putin will be either deposed or dead, and that Russia will then see the folly of its ways. They will not be able to subjugate Ukraine, just as they couldn't subjugate Afghanistan and had to slink home from there too.
Note that that defeat destroyed the Communist regime. If Russia suffers much more, Putin might be deposed before rather than after Russian defeat.
I see. I do hope that happens.
Not only is Russia currently losing, though, but they have wasted people (for soldiers) as well as money or resources, as I said before. I know Russia is a big country, but yeah, this still can't be good for them.
