So Putin reacts to the threat of NATO expansion and the result is a further expansion of NATO

He prevented NATO expansion in Georgia and Ukraine. And no, its not over yet.

Sweden and Finland are now NATO members
Ukraine will not be far behind

What was Putin thinking would happen when he invaded?

Ukraine never will be a NATO member, and highly likely it is coming to its end.

What was Putin thinking would happen when he invaded?

Obviously, Putin believe that he can win, and he all reasons to think that he is right.

Putin shot his wad in the invasion.
Once it collapsed, he had no idea what to do next.

Today, his once fearsome Army is a shell of what it once was

Who said you that? Joe Biden? Don't believe him. The Russians are just warming up.

300,000 plus casualties, lost half its tanks, helicopters decimated, unable to replace lost equipment and trained personnel

I expect another military coup

Not really true...
Putin used up his "disposable" population in the invasion of Ukraine.
By that I mean that Putin uses a strategy of cannon fodder for wearing down his opponents. And this requires a LOT of troops. So Putin has used the poorest members of his nation including people that have boon convicted of felonies and violent offenders.

Of these people groups he is about out of those with so little of a voice for governance. He still has a large population to draw from for troops.

Meanwhile Ukraine has used EVERYONE. Not just the poor or voiceless or prisoners.

If Putin begins to draw on his regular citizens he just needs a new line of propaganda...that's it. It doesn't need to be true or tell them where they are going to fight. And it could be that he tells them a complete whopper lie but still send them to Ukraine.

What Putin is really short on is seasoned and well trained instructors and front line offensive officers. (These are really in short supply for him and as they continue to try to advance they keep losing more)

Russian logistics are complicated within their own ranks...just as they are for our own military. Seasoned professionals are necessary to navigate these situations of long term conflicts. And they are out of them. Sure they have built up new roads and railroads for supplies...but getting the supplies, manpower, and equipment to the right place at the right time has caused tons of nightmare scenes for the Russians.

Nothing but delusional nonsense and wishful thinking.

I expect another military coup

Really? Don't be that naïve.

The Russian military is depleted with no way of replenishing

Tell that to your Russian handlers

If this is true, we don't need to waste our resources for defense of Europe, do we?

I agree

Russia has proved to be nowhere near the threat they have been claimed to be

Footage of an attack by Ukrainian naval drones on the Russian large landing ship Caesar Kunikov, Project 775, which we previously talked about. The attack at 6.15 am almost abeam Yalta was carried out by a Ukrainian unit called Group 13, equipped with MAGURA V5 maritime drones. It is unknown what purpose the landing ship Caesar Kunikov had, but at the moment, not a single ship in the world can repel a massive attack by sea drones. Putting this ship out to sea was quite a risky endeavor; unlike other ships of Project 775, it does not have AK-630 artillery mounts and has nothing to repel an attack with. Judging by the video, the ship tilted and capsized on one of its sides. According to the Ukrainian media, the ship "Caesar Kunikov" sank; Russian media do not confirm this.

Footage of a group of Ukrainian soldiers leaving Avdeevka. Military personnel use the Dutch YPR-765 tracked armored vehicles developed in 1970, we previously talked about them. Also in the video you can see two Ukrainian tanks leaving Avdiivka, one of them is on fire, apparently the tank came under attack from an FPV drone. Avdiivka is considered the main fortified area of the Ukrainian army in the Donbass; it was created in 2014.

Russia is losing control of the Black Sea.
Inexpensive drones no bigger than a Rowboat can attack a Naval Vessel and take it out

The American government extorts money from it's civilians, constantly living in the world of lies that everyone who doesn't agree is an enemy
.Russia, Iran, N.korea, China are not your enemies, just because they don't agree with your government doesn't mean they hate you. Wake up!

Footage of a Ukrainian Banshee Jet-80 kamikaze jet drone, manufactured in Great Britain, intercepted and landed by Russian electronic warfare units. The Banshee Jet-80 jet drone is manufactured by Qinetic and is used by the UK Navy as an aerial target. The drone's range exceeds 100 km, the maximum speed is 720 km/h, the drone can stay in the air for up to 45 minutes and rise to a height of up to 7500 meters. Reportedly, upon inspection of the drone, 7 kilograms of explosives were found. As a result of decoding the flight mission of the Banshee Jet-80 drone, it turned out that the drone was supposed to circle over the Novoazovsky region and hit an object in Mariupol, approaching the target from the Taganrog Bay.
