Delusions. Five more years and nobody in Russia would think about the West in positive terms. This is already happening. Disparaging lies and gaslighting regarding this war turns away even the most pro-Western people.

You have a point, but perhaps not in the way that you think.

Russia's attack on Ukraine and the ensuing sanctions have led to the emigration of many educated and skilled young Russians to Turkey and whatever Western country will admit them. In leaving, they take an important part of Russia's human capital -- and no doubt many of the emigres also find Western Europe and North America far more appealing than most Russians do.

As to those who remain, Russia's controlled media dominates their thinking. Only the fall of the current regime will enable a return to a free press, free minds, and free elections in Russia.
