Ukraine is helping Russia’s military grow.
It’s like planting flowers. Ukrainian bodies are the fertilizer.
Cue “The Circle Of Life” song.
It’s going to take Moscow a bit longer to replace the first rate troops who died in the first days and weeks of the Russian invasion.
Russian Army is NOT at “pre-war” level. They are far above and beyond it
They have mobilized up to 1 million troops. They have turned their armaments factories up to full-production. They have had 2 years to prepare for a war with NATO (forget about Ukraine)
Russia can create war material and impress soldiers at a rate they can lose and sustain while inflicting losses at a rate the smaller country can not afford to sustain.
And like the north, Russia is not going to allow anti-war sentiment to interfere with plans.
Oops, that wasn’t supposed to happen
—-
They must be mass producing shovels
Except these troops are not well trained and will be mostly used for meat assaults.
Previous troops, at the start of Russia’s invasion, had years or decades of training. Now those troops are mostly dead or too badly wounded to return to the fighting.
“far faster” rate than the United States originally estimated, a top general said
*************
Maybe if the generals weren’t so preoccupied with politics and pushing DEI they might have been able to do a better job of assessing foreign capabilities. Just saying.
and Ukraine is out of munitions and men for the 7th time-
Putin will die for the 7th and 8th time shortly.
Oops that’s not supposed to happen.
