He might not be dumb, but he has been badly informed before. We can't know what he thinks is true and what he thinks is not. But i agree it would be a dumb move if he went on waging war somewhere else too.

We also shouldn't forget Russian command will be willing to do things Nato won't, like bombing civilians or forcing people to join the army. They might for example threaten to execute a pow or retaliate by using chemical weapons. If two parties are not fighting by the same rules, it won't be all about who has the biggest military power. I think you're right on their losses not being sustainable, although I think they'll be more likely to choose more desperate measures than they'd consider retreating.
You don't need 100% of the population, just the people in power to make a decision and some people enforcing that. Even if 75% of Germans wouldn't want to fight, you just need the one in charge to give orders to the next in line and it will travel all the way down the chain of command. No way there will be mass desertion because Russia attacked Nato somewhere.

However, while the National Guard has been deployed against U.S. activists numerous times throughout history, historians say that the deployment of active duty Marines against Americans is unprecedented, and an escalation of anti-protest tactics at a time when Trump is grasping at every opportunity to seize power, suppress dissent and push the U.S. toward martial law.
A number of products from a brand of US sweets are "unsafe to eat" and contain ingredients which could damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned.
UK businesses and consumers are being urged to stop buying and selling the Jolly Ranchers products, owned by US company Hershey.
The Federal Department of Justice and Police (FDJP), a Swiss authority responsible for overseeing law enforcement and public security, wants to impose a new rule that would grant it extensive surveillance powers over online communications.
Keep in mind, this change wouldn't go to a vote in Parliament and could be ratified without much public disclosure. If enacted, private encrypted email and messaging services like Proton Mail, Threema, and others could be seriously affected. And don’t even get me started on what this could mean for VPN providers.
Moreover, users might be required to hand over personal information, like a phone number or official ID, making anonymous sign-ups nearly impossible.
And it gets even worse — organizations would be required to hand over user data in plain text when requested, except for messages that are securely end-to-end encrypted between users.
