And Putin isn’t looking all that healthy.

There has been speculation about his health for at least 5 years now. Maybe longer. No one really knows, as best I can tell.

As long as European support continues, Ukraine will be able to outlast Putin/Russia. And it won't take as long as Afghanistan did (where the government was taken over by the Soviets), or Vietnam (where it wasn't taken over by us...at least not the North). Russia can't manufacture enough equipment to support a war without making some major changes in their economy, which will not be popular domestically. Putin expected a swift victory, not a multi-year slog. He was equipped for a swift victory, and would have been fine if they had taken Kyiv and ended the Ukrainian government. But that didn't happen. Ooopsie.
