It is looking like the Winter War in 1939-40.
Ukraine is fighting. But they can't hold out forever on their own.
Putin's army is incompetent. But they'll get better under the pressure of war. At some point, Russia will 'win', although that 'win' may not be what Putin wants.
Re: Russian regime.
Conspiracy theorists enjoy discussing the concept of the 'Deep State'. They seem to miss the idea that countries other than the USA have deep states as well. Russia had one since at least 1917. What is different now is that the Russian deep state has become THE state. They eliminated all other centers of power. Thus, Putin and his ilk who can't see the world in terms of anything but the Cold War.
Cheers
