U.S. officials have admitted that Russia is producing more missiles now than it was before the conflict began.

More than an unimpressive quantity is still not a very impressive quantity.

If Ukraine ever gets more than a trickle of F-16's and ATG missiles to go with them (the US has massive numbers of both, which is why Russian leaders froth about F-16's), Russia has a VERY acute problem.

Fun facts: The US has almost as many F-16's as Russia has planes of any type in it's entire air force. Overall, NATO has about 4 times as many military aircraft as Russia.

NATO's problem is a bureaucracy that is about the size and speed of a major glacier.

Unimpressive quantity? You're nuts. Russia has been using seven times as much ammo as Ukraine. Even the NYT admits that Russia is manufacturing more ammo than all the NATO countries combined.

You can't face reality -- Ukraine has no chance whatsoever of gaining an inch of territory back.

This proxy war has been a abysmal failure from the start. And, we're sick of wasting money on it.
