Putin doesn't care about any little thing like honor. He still thinks he can crush them with raw brute strength. It's also easy for him to be so cavalier when he's hiding behind the Soviet nuclear umbrella and Xi Jinping.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I know he doesn't care about honor, I used to work with a Polish lady for four years who never stopped talking about how horrible he is and what he has done. What I meant was, if he does something dishonorable, he should be aware that inspires more resistance. If he was just targeting military sites and not citizens, cities, Ukrainian elected officials and their families, there would probably be at least some less resistance going on. But he is stupidly doing everything he can to inspire resistance amongst the Ukrainians.

This whole thing started with me feeling Ukraine would lose about as quickly as Iraq lost to USA (not the militants, but the official government force), but now I'm becoming more convinced that not only will the Russians lose, but Putin himself will be deposed by his own people.

That would be a great thing if Putin's reign was brought to an ignominious end. I, too, feared that Ukraine would be overwhelmed, but they're proving to be quite tenacious. Hopefully it's enough to turn the tides, and the Russian people, against Putin. I also hope President Zelensky makes it out of this war alive. In any event, a man like Vladimir Putin does not need to be in charge of a country, a military, or the world's largest arsenal of nuclear weapons.

As for the Russian propaganda, I've seen plenty of it on social media myself.
