Reading between the lines, that seems to be very much the Russian position.
They cant last if the West keeps up support.

They are even importing North Koreans to use in meat wave attacks.

They are running out of ammo.
They are running out of ships
They are running out of artillery
They are running out of tanks
They are running out of fuel, after oil refineries got blown up.
They are running out of money and reserves to buy anything outside of Russia
They are running out of conscripts.
Their economy is running at 25% interest rates and inflation to bring 
tears to your eyes.
They are running out of food
They are running out of winter fuel and electricity
Their infrastructure is collapsing where it inst being blown up
They have run out of imported hi tech parts already, and cant fix their 
weapons any more.
They are even running out of BABIES. No one wants to have children in Russia

They haven't run out of bullshit, or Western agents in high places, yet.
All they can do is use up everything, help Trump get elected and hope 
what they have on him is enough.

you can. There are now experts in the art of taking offence, indeed 
whole academic subjects, such as 'gender studies', devoted to it.
