It’s all about attrition? That’s why Ukraine is finished.
“It’s all about attrition? That’s why Ukraine is finished.”
You’ll be saying this even when Ukrainian tractors are parading through Red Square.
“It’s all about attrition? That’s why Ukraine is finished.”
Probably true. more importantly so is Russia, as it was.
Read the art of war time.
During WWI some French troops revolted. The situation that the mobilized Russians find themselves in is probably much worse than what the French faced. People tend to view wars in simplistic terms. But nothing could be farther from the truth. There are as many forces in effect as there are people in the conflict and people supporting or supplying those people. Things happen and they cause other things and NOTHING that has happened so far has gone according to anyone’s plan. Could Russia win? Possibly. I think it’s more likely that they’ll end up with so many things going on behind the lines, like people protesting, allied states seceding, and people generally just stealing stuff that an outright victory would look really weird and might not last for long. Could Ukraine win? With enough support they could be the clear winner. But the West has been timid for too long. Fighter jets, for example, needed to be planned on starting the second month of the war. Every delay means Russia may eventually wear down Ukraine’s air defense and then freely roam the country destroying everything.
