You need to look at the objectives Putin set. He is achieving them progressively. Now the other objectives like bringing down the dominance of Dollar and Euro and setting stage for a more Multi polar world is work i progress. That hae been initiated and in 10years time we will see the outcome.
As for wishful thinking Russia will collapse as a state, the ruble will sink and Putin will be overthrown. It has worked to the contrary. Russia is more united than before, Ruble has reached its strongest point since 2020 amd Putin continues running Russia.
Western power mistakes is thinking Russia will become weaker as the operation prolongs . Nope just like it happened after the Polish U.S.S.R. wars in early 1920s and Hitlers World War 2 they will become stronger. They will improve their military capabilities ,become self sufficient and most importantly will become a big player in Geopolitics.
All we know Putin has not yet had his lunch in Kyiv. The rest one can view the way one wants to view the issues.
Lots of media propaganda out there.....poor ukraine is wrecked. Millions refugees. It will take years to rebuild. Poor ukraine they should have done their best to avoid all this mess. The heart of this war is currency war. If Russia gangs up with Chinese it will be interesting to watch...
