“Burning through soldiers...” My God, what a picture!
“How many guys do we have just standing around holding their pants up? Well shit, give them guns and send them to Kharkiv. Or Kharkov, wherever. Kherson. I don’t know, send them.”
We can send them weapons all day long, but eventually they are going to run out of people to fire the weapons. If attrition is the name of the game, Russia can produce more dead bodies than Ukraine can.
Depends on the ratio. If Ukraine kills about 5 Russian soldiers for every 1 Ukrainian, they win. Since Russia keeps using poorly trained troops against mined, fortified Ukrainian positions that are also zeroed in by Ukrainian artillery, it not hard to reach & even surpass that ratio.
