Honestly, I fear the resistance being too effective.
Russia is on the offensive when viewing this conflict in isolation. Zoom out to geopolitics and it is very much on the defensive.
They are locked in this conflict and if they cannot achieve their goals they will escalate. They also own the most nuclear weapons of any country on earth.
This is what the Art of War says when it says not to put enemies in a corner.
This is also a very realpolitik take on this. It goes without saying that all of this is a humanitarian disaster.
