Unless Putin is deposed, and I see no likelihood of that, given that he is KGB and has control over the same, renamed FSB.

Putin is a "reincarnation of Stalin" he has an infinite supply of humans to throw into the meat grinder, as Stalin did at Moscow and Stalingrad. This supply of humans absorbs Ukrainian ammunition, until they run out of ammunition.

Either Ukraine folds and Russia absorbs it, after liquidating all of the patriots and combatants, or NATO gets involved, sooner rather than later, because if it doesn't stop Putin now, then it will have another and bigger aggression on it's hands, as Putin or Russia, falls back, ramps up it's armament industry to WWII levels, refits, retrains, corrects then takes on the rest of the former Soviet empire.

Moldova certainly next with the Soviet Enclave of Transnistrra, Lithuania to close the Suwalki Gap that separates Kaliningrad from Belarus.

It is 1938 all over again. Cave to the threat of a tyrant and you will have the war that you fear, only worse than it would be if you had stopped him when he was just getting started.

I wonder if Prigozhin's very graphic rant about what's happening to Russian fighters, will have the opposite effect to what he intends if it does start circulating widely. Putin is trying to make it sound as though everything is going according to plan.

Assuming Prigozhin has some credibility with the Russian population in general, this video could be a wakeup call and make them less likely to support the Special Military Operation.

Of course, mere lack of public support won't do anything on its own.
