Sure,

Do you want to lose 1,000+ tanks?

The Russians are willing to suck up 390,000+ casualties as of 2 months ago, how do you think we would react to that?

This is my idea of warfare: we decimate the enemy, crush them, and walk away with 1,145 casualties (all causes, WIA and KIA): 1991 Desert Storm (total dominance over the enemy)

I’m not impressed by trying to outdo the enemy in how many folks we can lose. Not a race I want to win.

I’m not aware of any country that is ending it’s demand for tanks.

“Winning” Iraqi wars had a worse effect on the US military thinking than losing WWII on the German. How do you think your approach will work against the enemy that has near peer capability and refuses to give up?
