I could see him killing himself. I could see him wanting to deploy nukes.

I don't see it happening though. Russia is the only country I know that has multiple times given the command to send a nuke and someone in the launch procedure deciding against it.

If Putin gave that order I don't see the people agreeing to it. Instead it would likely be the catalyst for change. Because even though Putin made Russia go to war for no reason. And even though Russia is forcing to stay at war for no reason. And now Putin can see Russia is losing and Ukraine is just getting stronger. The tanks are not even there yet and now there is already talks of Jets.

Anyone can see where this is going. And when the Russians thought they might win more land, or win more resources they were okay with it. But the moment Putin tries to seal their fate and its not just minorities, and poor Russian's at risk but instead the entirety of Russia as a sovereign country I don't see them following through with that order.

Because as devastating as it would be and as tragic as it would be. Russia will end up against the word in that scenario and the world will continue on but united against Russia. And if they started dropping nukes I don't see the world allowing Russia to remain as a nuclear power, if they even allow Russia to remain as a sovereign country.

Yeah. If they couldn't win when they had surprise, morale, and their military at its best and most trained while Ukraine didn't have much western equipment yet I don't see why anyone (including Russia) would think they could win now.

Ukraine now has a lot of western equipment and training. 1st Howitzers, then HIMARS, and now they are getting tanks. Ukraine is only getting stronger, better equipment, and better weapon systems.

It should be simple to see the outcome of this war with anyone who isn't completely blinded by bias.

Russia tried to take all of Ukraine and was defeated by Ukraine.

So to save face Russia then tried to target the main cities in Ukraine forming long convoy lines that got totally destroyed and forced Russia to retreat again.

To save Face Russia said they only want a region at their borders as they invaded. Ukraine is currently making more and more gains, liberating more and more cities. And even got major ones.

Now Russia is throwing a tantrum and bombing civilians because they realized they don't have the military capabilities to take any Ukraine land, or even defend against Ukraine liberating the cities.

One thing is certain. Ukraine will win. Every day Ukraine is getting stronger with better weapon systems. First it was Howitzers. Then HIMARS. Now they are getting the Patriot Missiles. What will they be getting next?

And Everyday Russia is getting weaker. And more Desperate. The only question is how many more Russian lives with Putin send to their deaths before finally giving up.

Well the real question is will Putin give back Ukrainian land peacefully to ease up some of the sanctions. Or will he hold out until Ukraine forces them completely out and then Russia will be sanctioned for the foreseeable future like Cuba was.

Either way Russia has lost by any count.
