Russia has been surprisingly quiet, are they winning or are things not going as planned?

This guy has some interesting threads. He thinks it is not going the way Russia expected and Putin is getting nervous.

I don't want to be against Ukraine but man it would suck if this leads to Putins downfall and the end of Russia as an illiberal power that challenges the West. I don't want that to be left all to China. I like that there is one white majority super power that challenges globohomo. If this is going bad couldn't they retreat yet still take those independent eastern territories so it doesn't look like a complete failure.

If Putin goes, I give it a decade tops before we're back in the same situation with poor relations between Russia and the West. Russians are too proud a people and there's always opportunity in standing against the prevailing powers. A unipolar world will never last long term.
