That sounds like a bunch of wishful thinking. The imminent collapse of the Russian army/economy/regime/state has been predicted from pretty much day one of the war. Yet here we are.

Here we are. Closing airports in Moscow 11 years after invasion began and 3 years after full scale mobilisation....

Is Russia going to imminently collapse? Probably not.

Is Russia on the back foot and being pushed out of the country they invaded? Yes.

If you believed the russian collapse was imminent in 2022 then I can't help you lol.

Or are you secretly trying to cope with the russian decline?

Russia was holding an airport in Kiev on 2022. Now they have some rusty North Korean shells on the wrong side of the Dnipro when they aren’t playing defense in Kursk.
