Russia has been greatly humiliated, even if they succeed in their invasion, the world has seen how clumsily and inefficient it has all been.

Russia’s military has been exposed and its weapons and military/political leadership have been exposed, Russia is in a desperate struggle to do something that 6 months ago we all thought would be done in days with a super-efficient, modernized Russian Army and Air Force, and Navy.

Win or lose, the shine is off of Russia as a modernized mighty war machine.

Didn't the same happen in Finland in 1940?

Not defending the Russians, but maybe Putin wanted to save most of the ukr. infrastructure for the future citizens of Russia....could explain the tippy toeing.
Be warned however, most of the information is bogus.

The Russians are going to control all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper River and entire Black Sea coastline. That area comprises 80% of Ukraine's GDP. Never mind, the strategic importance of control over the Black Sea.

The ruble has been at an eight-year high compared to the dollar. Russia is collecting a record amount of oil revenue.

This war, not surprisingly because it is being conduct by the Biden regime, has been a disaster for us and Europe.

Thinking like yours can only attributed to Russian Derangement Syndrome.
