“”””It is and always has been a war of Attrition.””””

Not at all, originally it was going to be a well-oiled modernized, restructured, Russian military pulling off a quick and clean low casualty operation, with some possible weeks of mopping up any stray resistance that resisted the new government, a display to the world of the new Russia and its new, modern military.

Nobody expected that it would turn into the bloodiest European war since WWII and that it would drag on for years and become a war of attrition that would drain the old Soviet stocks of armor and artillery and of massive Naval and Air losses.

Maybe others including some news stories said that.
I never did. When UMCRevMom started to post her propaganda here,
I said repeatedly that it would be a War of Attrition.
And it turns out I was right.

That paragraph translates to Ruzzia is a threat.

That translates to Ruzzia is not a threat.

Which paragraph is true Zeeper?
