Stalin was a murderous dictator but he would be very upset with Putin for starting a war he has no real way of winning short of sparking a nuclear war and no one knows how that would end. Maybe whoever winds up with the most surviving nuclear submarines and even those would have to come up for air and provisions.
My greatest concern is the state of Putin's health, primarily his mental health. Rumors have it that he has neurological and possibly some other health issues. That could make him very dangerous IMHO. He is unpredictable may be becoming increasingly irrational. At some point he may push or try to push the nuclear button. As you suggested his invasion seems unwinnable. I do not think anyone has an answer.

I found an interesting article about how Russians are possibly feeling. Of course they cannot really speak out fully. What it'''s like inside Moscow amid Ukraine war: Reporter'''s Notebook | Fox News
