But that is not how Fred sees things in his rich fantasy world. He insists that the Russian army is weak and running out of ammunition and manpower reserves. Of course, he has no evidence to support this. He is like Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz clicking his ruby slippers together and repeating the mantra, “there is not a Russian army.” But no amount of wishful thinking can change the fact that Russia’s defense industry is churning out tanks, planes, artillery, ammunition and drones at an increasing level.
What astonishes me is Kagan’s complete disregard for the losses the Ukrainians are suffering. Even if the United States and NATO can continue to send tanks, artillery and ammunition to its beleaguered ally in Kiev, the number of trained Ukrainian personnel capable of operating these weapon systems effectively is diminishing rapidly, not increasing. Even if Ukraine manages to squeeze out one tactical victory, it does not have the resources in manpower and equipment to sustain that success. Ukraine’s army is in an irretrievable death spiral. Its fate is determined. It is just a matter of time.
Kazan is the name of a city in RuZZia,
Is that where you live?
“an irretrievable death spiral. Its fate is determined. It is just a matter of time.”
Sounds like the Russian economy, and the quality of life for the Russian people who can’t escape Putin’s oppression and disastrous mismanagement.
Doomed.
