“He is snubbbed by the leaders of Turkey and Kazakhstan - Kazakhstan.”
Opinion - there’s more going on with Turkey than one snub.

Link, please.
“His flailing at the “external enemy” won’t work - he needs to consolidate his position at home - so the flailing will be internal, expect more purge”
Link, please.

Putin’s Russia is the successor state to the USSR. The USSR had used blitzkrieg tactic in 1968 in Czechoslovakia and in 1979 in Afghanistan, where they managed to take over the country’s capitals. Putin tried the same in Ukraine.
Putin’s plan was to capture Kyiv in the same day and liquidate the Ukrainian government, installing a puppet regime led by the father of his goddaughter, Victor Medvedchuk.
“They [the Kremlin] viewed him as the main guy in Ukraine, their main interlocutor in Ukraine,” said a former Russian official, who knows Medvedchuk personally. “[Medvedchuk] was the legitimate way they could see their future influence [in Ukraine] … his ‘persecution’ is when this all began.”
Shortly before the war began, US intelligence claimed that Medvedchuk had been tapped by the Kremlin for a puppet government in a postwar regime
