Well our troops have been home for almost six months now. Time to spend another twenty years fighting the Russians for the European socialists.

“Time to spend another twenty years fighting the Russians”

Optimistically this thing ends this year. At worst it goes on into spring of 2023.

The problem for Russia is logistics.

Russia for a variety of reasons cannot replace the ships, planes, and vehicles being lost in this war.

Russia was originally supposed to take delivery of 2,300 T-14 Armata tanks by the end of 2020 and the actual number in existence is twenty with a promise of one hundred more by the end of this year. But UralVagonZavod, the company that makes the tank is currently inactive due to sanctions.

Meaning there’s no replacing what Russia loses on the battlefield.

Ukraine doesn’t have that problem and has received 200+ tanks from Poland and Romania and they’re expected to receive 200-250 M1A1 tanks from the US.

Sometime this year the balance of conventional power in Ukraine will tip to Ukraine. It’s just math.
