@bradmodd7856 It will be frustrating for Ukrainians and their western supporters if Ukrainian forces are unable to make a significant breakthrough but the level of frustration in Moscow must surely also be extremely high. Putin and others in the Russian elite must be constantly thinking, "Gee, this was supposed to be an easy military operation taking a few days to overthrow the Ukrainian government and conquer Ukraine and make it loyal and obedient to Russia and instead it's been over 500 days of military disasters and we haven't made a significant advance in over a year and vast amounts of our stores of military supplies and equipment have been used up and the world is mocking our military and we will never conquer Ukraine and now Ukrainians all hate us and NATO is more united and bigger than ever and the Ruble is crashing, our economy is a mess and our government is quickly running out of foreign reserves and heading towards bankruptcy". I don't think any sane, sober person in the Russian elite can be very happy right now.

@thesuncollective1475 Even if Putin gets re-elected in another fake Russian election I'm pretty sure that that won't protect him from a coup if things get bad enough for Russia. Apparently the next Russian presidential election is scheduled for next March. That might be just about the same time that the Russian government runs out of foreign reserves and effectively goes bankrupt. That would be interesting timing.
