Putin is mistaken on the projected power of its nation (weak), on the importance of its geopolitical destiny (decline), and on the level of threat that the rich neighbors represent (none). Russia is a dwarf economy because Putin can't understand where wealth is coming from. From the point of view of a farmer, wealth is in the ground, so the more you want to be powerful, the more you need land (even if you take it by force). But wealth coming from the West does not come from the ground (a level "one" economy), but came from industry a century ago (a level "two") and now essentially from services (a level "three" economy). Putin could have developed its industry but he didn't, he just concentrated most of the oil and gas money to securing his close friends oligarchs, and now war is leveling down many decades of development of services. Hence Putin is bringing his country to the ground again, to farming and to misery where Russia came from, and even in the extraordinary situation of weakness, he will see no military incursion into its territory, because the world has evolved around it in a way that war became unacceptable. So wakeup Putin, see what you have done against your people, and listen to their calls. No one wants to live in an unfair, insecure world of violence that you're trying to build. Or witness what your people will do to you when they apply your methods against the enemy (you)

Now, it's not really Putin vs "the West" at this point, it's more like dictatorship vs "free world", hence Putin's attempts to appear as united as possible with China just before the conflict started. But China is not duped, thankfully, as Russia is a just dwarf economy which tries to appear more impressive than what it really is. Prosperity comes mostly from commerce and freedom of exchange of goods and services and ideas. But in Putin's mind, wealth comes from owning the land and using violence to control people minds and actions, like a king would do during the middle ages in Europe. But that's not the middle ages anymore, people have internet and education now and they can communicate easily, so that achieving whatever plan he has in mind won't cut it. Putin will lose the war, yes, but will Russia descend with him or will it survive the brutal dictatorship end? First Putin has described Ukraine's political regime as a neonazi one but he is the one doing the violence and the invasion, then Putin has asked the army of Ukraine to topple the government but he is the one deserving it. Now will the Russian people wakeup and free themselves against tyranny (and unite with the free world?), or will they miss the great History call? It's up to them now.
