You need to cut down the % of fentanyl in your hopium pipe.

Hopium dreams are pleasant, so I’m told, but not something to base your life plans upon.

Stop chasing the dragon. Wake up and touch grass.

The equipment buildup in Ukraine has been slow. But lacking the massive Cold War surplus that was used in Desert Storm, it’s understandable that Ukraine’s resupply has proceeded in fits and starts. But it’s getting off the ground.

Only 100+ guns have made their way to Ukraine. But that will continue. And as time goes on, Ukraine will have more guns to decrease the Russian advantage. As the Russian economy grinds to a halt, its capacity to merely keep its equipment going will gradually peter out. No one knows for sure when that will be. But odds are that by year-end, Russian positions will be east of where they are today, assuming the trickle of Western equipment gets to the point where the Russian firepower advantage is significantly whittled down from its current 10 to 1 edge.
