A dictator making all decisions himself and being surrounded by Yes Men is never a good thing. Prone to failure
And always remember that Russia’s economy is a total joke anyway. There are states in the USA with a higher GDP than the largest country in the world in terms of area.
And yes, I know the comparison is flawed. But I still wanted to mention it.

That’s why it’s in everyone’s best interest to help Ukraine defend itself as long as it takes.
You all may suffer, you all may starve to death but that is a small price to pay so that I don’t have to admit that this war was a stupid idea.
They know that west will bail them out in order not to let into china’s influence orbit even more. No one in the west wants russia dissolving or siding with china so russians elite can take big risks.
Isn’t there a name for that in economy when you don’t renounce to limit your looses but instead put more money to try to salvage something probably unsalvaged ?
Edit: found it : **sunk cost fallacy**
Russia is betting that if they can keep the war going long enough they can get a favourable peace deal out of it.
They choose to have Putin as their leader. They get zero sympathy from me. Zero.
