In 1973 when the Arab armies did their sneak attack on Israel from all 3 sides during the Yom Kippur war - Israel nearly lost that war. They literally had to move troops from one front to another just as soon as they had stabilized one of the fronts.

Anyway, Egypt had already lost badly in 1967 - they lost the Sinai and the Canal - so they had Soviet jets but this time they used Soviet pilots too. Didn’t help. Israel shot nearly all of them down while losing only a few themselves. Using mostly French and British planes.

Because Egypt lost twice with Soviet support and even Soviet command, they realized they had enough, they could not win, and ultimately agreed to make peace with Israel brokered by Carter at Camp David. We flipped Egypt from Soviet to US influence. It was and still is a relatively cold peace but better than a war.

Russia has a much larger population to draw cannon fodder from while Ukraine is being ground down. Unless Ukraine can deliver a miracle knock out of Russia, they will eventually lose.

International consensus is building that it’s in their best interest to avoid Americans and their printed dollars at all costs.

It’s understood they’ll blow up their pipelines and seize their assets on a malicious whim too and then lie about it and most Americans will go along with that, considering it a “patriotic duty”.

And now the prospect of just destroying all countries that disagree is now proven as fiction. The US can talk the talk but can’t walk the walk and the thinking world sees this, plain as day.

It seems to have fallen into a stalemate sort of like WWI on the Western Front.

Regarding this list of Western tanks pledged to Ukraine:

▪️This is about what NATO sent last year in terms of tanks - mostly modernized Soviet-era tanks Ukrainian forces were familiar with operating/maintaining;

▪️ Ukraine began the SMO with around 1,000 tanks, between those and all 2022 deliveries, it appears the majority have been destroyed;

▪️The American M1A2s haven’t been built yet. Questionable whether or not they’ll be ready for use any time in 2023;

▪️88 Leopard 1 tanks are antiquated, under-armed and under-armored, unable to be used as “tanks” but instead as assault guns;

▪️ Anti-Russian media Novaya Gazeta admits that Russia can make at least 850 tanks a year (a combination of modernized tanks + new tanks), almost 2x what the West pledged;

▪️ The 850 tanks Russia can make will be of varieties Russian forces are familiar with operating and sustaining on the battlefield;

Let’s not forget that Egypt was getting battlefront intel from the CIA and that Israel attacked a US spy ship off their coast that was helping Egypt. CIA. spit.

“Ukraine Losing the War Big Time...”

Taking a year to lose a 72-hour war. Putin is a dead man and it’ll be a generation or more before a Russian can safely walk down a street in Ukraine.
