I genuinely wonder how close to "defeat" Russia really is. The Western media is very optimistic about it, but we've seen tyrants like Stalin feed their own citizens to the furnace of war to keep fighting. I also haven't read anything that makes me hopeful that Russian people have seen through the reality distortion field. Even in the US, with some of the freest media in the world, we have people who live in a propaganda fog.
