Some inside stuff from ~2012-2016 runet afaik

Him and Xi blew their loads too soon and wanted to be "le epic bully country", galvanizing the west (which was having internal struggles trying to justify NATO and the EU) and reminding them that Russia and China aren't to be trusted, no matter what.
Tl;Dr his chances are looking slim, unless he goes full crazy mode and launches all the nukes at the same time. Him and Xi are idiots.

Get jiggy wit it
Eh, unless the 1488th story that China's economy is about to collapse turns out to be true for once I'd say that Xi's only real dumb move here was not realizing Putin was more ambitious than he was capable. Even then he could use the aftermath of this to make Russia dependent on China to point of virtual vassalage.

>Russia and China aren't to be trusted

Fun fact : Zelinsky the leader of Ukriane only had a 20% approval rating before the Russian invasion because Ukraine is a corrupt shithole.
Take pic related for example, where Reddit donated hundreds of Bitcoins to Ukraine and the corrupt government officials cashed them out and tried to smuggle the money while fleeing the country.

Never expected to see Helge Schweiger on 4ping of all places.

Kind of. He's likely going to take over Ukraine within a month or two, but Russia's economy is now so fucked by the sanctions that it's unlikely he'll be able to fund the occupation of the country for that long.

I don't think he's under any illusion that he can hold the whole country, only the regions that were already annexed by Russia. His primary goals are to keep Ukraine from joining NATO or the EU, and get access to its oil reserves. If he forces them to officially recognize his annexed regions and agree to neutrality that's probably good enough for him. Guessing he thought it would be easy to get that much, but nothing in life is easy.

He could have won if he had managed to topple Ukraine in few days. but the corruption among the officials and government fucked it up. Intel were too afraid to give realistic data on Ukraine and Russian actual war capability, support and officers sold the gas of their vehicles in Belarus and Russian border towns before the attack, because everyone thought it was going to be just walk into victory, soldiers were kept in dark and were promised warm welcome in their liberation of Ukraine, elite didn't consider the sanctions to actually affect anything. The Russian culture don't understand the value of truth, especially truth that hurts, meaning the government is running on unrealistic ideals and it fucks everyone up, both top elite and the common people in the end. Now Russia is forced to withdraw into its shell and to keep lying to themselves how well the war is going and how well they are doing. They aren't doing that good

Win what?

China is a paper tiger, they shake their fists at the west, hong kong, taiwan and sea nations just to keep their citizens scared

Whenever I see a UKRAINE BAD shitpost I just chuckle because as if Russians have any standing to be criticizing any other country.

by the strictest definitions of combat, probably. if he's looking to seize and hold territory. but the costs versus the gains? absolutely not.
