I don't think any outcome at this time would be a success for Russia, but feeding the meatgrinder until the world runs out of Ukranians just to send a message about aggression seems stupid.

Of course might-makes-right, the current world order was built on that - the military superiority of the US after WW2. Since then the champion of that new world order didn't shy away from invading other countries.

You write: "until the world runs out of Ukranians". This is very offensive, as it erases the process by which some Ukrainians are dying. Anyways, back to basics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Russia

Population Growth rate Decrease -0.39 (2020)[2] Birth rate Decrease 9.8 births/1,000 population (2020)[2] Death rate Neutral decrease 14.6 deaths/1,000 population (2020)[2] Life expectancy Decrease 71.54 years (2020)[2] • male Decrease 66.49 years (2020)[2] • female Decrease 76.43 years (2020)[2]

It is Russian that are deciding collectively that the world should run out of Russians. This is a sad fact, I wish Russians would get fairness and hope some day.

Or Russians.

Correlation is not causation. Perhaps right makes might. Or perhaps both are caused by another factor entirely, such as brane interactions.
