Additionally the losses in equipment don’t quite mesh with your assertion
Western support historically can be finicky, but as it stands the US along can supply the Ukrainians with plenty of hardware. Throwing VDV into the fight as basic light infantry is not a good use of those troops and I think smacks of a level of desperation you don’t see.
Let’s say the war ends more or less with existing lines, what has Russia gained for all the blood and treasure.
We know what Ukraine has, but the reasons a vastly different.
Putin was trying to reinsert Russian power and its “rightful “ place as a power broker. Has he achieved that? My opinion is no not by a long shot
What is wrong with the losses of the equipment? Ukraine lost countless number of armor on “counter-offensive”. As for VDV how do you know what numbers and in what capacity are involved?
Regarding more troops, how many the US mobilized to lose in Afghanistan which was not even a war to speak of?
If you had any military experience, you wouldn’t repeat these stupid narratives after the media.
