It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out who would win a war of attrition.
It was obvious from the get go that this last NATO domino, 300 miles from Moscow, was a hill Putin would die on, if necessary. The only way to expel Russia was with a direct AMERICAN effort. Ukraine realized this early on and was in serious negotiations through the Turkish mediation effort. The dirty corrupt warmongers in DC subverted the process. The longer this continues, the more blood accumulates on the hands of the scum in the White House and Capitol.
You mean Ukraine, right?
They are the ones with a blank check to Gaytheon,IAI, LM, etc.etc and they have weapons to demonstrate on poor kids from Siberia and Dagestan.
Russia can’t even make weapons without German parts.
The Chinese can win a war of attrition. Russia, not so much.
Remind me again: Who was it who had won when the Soviets pulled out of Afghanistan in 1989?
Did the Afghans outnumber or outgun the Soviets?
Or maybe they had more fighter jets?

There is no way the Ukies, even with Western arms can stop this. Putin tried the blitzkrieg thing but neither his leadership, troops, equipment were up to the task and the drones and Javelins ate him up. But this is Zhukov type war now. Line up every piece of Arty you have and just keep firing. The Ukies are just getting killed. Someone in the leadership of the Ukie military had better tell Zelensky and tell him soon.
Really, really stupid to leave troops under enemy artillery coverage without significant protection. A static defense conducted near enemy territory and supply lines is retarded!
In the city they need to get in the basements then dig another 30’ down and connect the buildings via tunnels.
Otherwise, they need to withdraw and resume maneuver operations.
200 a day is bad but worse is the 500 a day wounded—needing medical care. That is a tremendous loss and expensive to rehabilitate the wounded and shattered men. Shell shock from Bombardment can wreck anyone for the rest of their lives. The Propaganda told us the Ukrainians were supermen—winning every fight. But no one can stand the constant WW I style bombardment. This also indicates that they Ukraine doesn’t control the skies—or the artillery would be taken out. Russians like Cannons, they can fire them all day and night. As long as they can bring in shells—they win. Ukraine better do one of two things: A) Stage an event to bring in NATO Forces. or B) Make a deal with Putin before they lose Odessa.
