K. Seems legit.
So who is going to push Putin out of these provinces?
Amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics. Russia is exhausted. It is running out of men and equipment, but perhaps most importantly, it is running out of money. In order to finance this war and any subsequent sanctions, Putin started to build up a war chest, the National Wealth Fund, back in 2014. Unfortunately for Putin, what he thought was going to be a quick smash and grab turned out to be a multi year war of attrition and his stocks of equipment and money are running out. He will be hard pressed to continue for another year. Do not fall for the idea that Russia has unlimited supplies of men and equipment. The situation in Russia is similar to that faced by the Tsar in 1917.
