Putin will or probably has over reached. His war in Ukraine has cost Russia so many lives of their young men that he's had to resort to using foreign troops. North Korea is forcing their young men to fight for Russia.

What Putin fails to understand is that invading other countries is no longer as easy as it used to be when those countries were a lot poorer. Once a country experiences a stable government and a raise in the standard of living, like Ukraine, they are not going to willingly give up their autonomy. The Ukrainians have fought valiantly for their country. The struggle has cost them too. But they are fighting for their country and their rights. Even without the US support, they will continue to make life difficult for the Russians. Invading other countries bordering Russia won't be that easy either. Once he secures those borders, if he manages to secure them, he's going have maintain an occupation force. The population of Russia or it's economy can't sustain that level of military force.

Hitler made the mistake of invading Russia. The Russians fought back and he lost that front. He spread his troops too thin.
