A ceasefire should be coming up within weeks if not days based on Lavrov and Zellenskyy latest comments. Perhaps Zellensky knows that the West will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian and Russia knows that Russia greatly miscalculated. The two nations are kins for the most part. They know each other.
If Russia manages to block off the sea access for Ukraine and take even a few dozen miles in eastern Ukraine and place Russian weapons targeting Kiev, such a North Korea does to Seoul, and preferably, for Russia, make the Dnieper River as the front line then a big Russian win.
We need to understand this: Russia maybe a pale shadow of its former power but as long as it is willing to take losses to gain territory and as long as it can use its vast natural resources, Russia will more than survive. And it is possible it may even thrive in short to medium term....

Thrive? Its cut from Europe. Economy, sport and culture completly wiped out. Its smart and young run away

There is a very good documentary on the inner circle of Hitler. Looking at this I can’t help but laugh it’s comical but scary at the same time.

Russia backed separatists learn how to use NLAW to shoot Ukrainian tanks. Russia reverse engineered NLAW and made thousands of these and supplied to Russia backed separatists.

NLAW only needs an hour of training and is different from other shoulder launched anti tank weapons. In fact each transportation case carries instructions in Ukrainian.

South Asian countries have luckily escaped this horror. The region has flawed democracy for sure. But still the opposition leaders have an outlet to express views and the media is allowed to air them to public. As it is said, "absolute power corrupts absolutely". No matter how benevolent a dictator may seem, give him/her enough time and you will see the person's inner demons get the better of 'em. We all have evil in our heart, it is part of our animal nature. Only through checks and balances that ensure that anyone can be replaced will a society thrive.

Maybe, but the oligarchs dont have their yachts in north korea, somalia, syria or Eritrea. They have them here where we do the sanctions.

They have bigger problems at home:

Mate, if you've or someone has already mentioned this in the thread, then I request you to navigate me to it: I wanted to know can Russia overcome these Sanctions?

... and the plan involved recruiting mercenaries from Syria and putting the intelligence chief and deputy in FSB under house arrest

Yes it also included death of 5 generals and complete collapse of logistics. He also planned for 60% of russian assets to be confiscated. Genius!
