I think Putin is going to Keep Doubling down until he is dead at this point

You just have to look back at Colonel Putin of the KGB to understand this better. He is a completely Cold War product of Russia. He is never going to give up simply because he believes that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the very worst thing that ever happened in the 20th Century.

He's still fighting the Cold War against the west as if the Soviet Union Still exists.

The sooner people realize this the better. Because he is going to keep doubling down until he is dead either from Cancer or another ailment or someone ends his life one way or another. 

This is a shit storm of epic proportions comparable now to World War II I believe, especially if China gets more involved in the Ukraine War than they already are.

We really don't want China taking the exact same stance as Putin because this could end the human race on earth eventually simply because of Global Climate changes. If China and Russia and the Rest of the world are all fighting for dominance then most or all of the world is going to starve to death in the process because of Global Climate changes killing so many ongoing in exponentially increasing ways every year and every month and every day.
