Russian President Putin is proving a shambles like his war.

That’s his own paid off State media saying the above, too, to keep in mind.
They are not stupid.
They know he lied to them and the Russian people.
Now he and their country will suffer more than any nation in isolation for some years until restitution is paid to Ukraine and justice is served and they leave Ukraine.
