Mr. Z can not lose. Every tank abandoned at the first hint of action can be replaced with a mere phone call—for free! The Ukrainians could loose every tank, truck and car and the whole thing will be recovered with brand new ones from the USA and NATO. Even people can be replaced with NATO volunteers and Mercenaries paid for by USA. The bucks always wins—until they don’t. The war will last until we in the west realize we are being played like suckers. Russia (with Chinese help) can fight for twenty years. We have a new Vietnam war in the making.
Thank you and they WILL fight for 20 years, grinding us down just as we claimed we were to be grinding THEM down by supporting Ukraine “ to the end”.
