The Wehrmacht found out the hard way as are the Ukrainians that more beats better. Ukraine is running out of both men and material. Russia can sustain this for as long as they want. Uncle Sugar is not going to keep it going especially when President Trump brings adults back to Washington.
Precisely. I just posted this link to a British documentary series titled "War Factories," which I believe is available to view for free on YouTube. It is excellent. It's a three season series, 22 episodes that aired between 2019-2022. The storyline for the series reads: "This series is more than the story of war production, it's the untold story of World War II. No matter how many soldiers or how clever the generals, how daring the strategy, a war cannot be won if there are not enough weapons or food."
Here's the IMDb page for the series:
Part of the introduction of each episode includes this comment:
"All wars are about competition and production. The side that can produce more is always going to triumph."
“Russia can sustain this for as long as they want.”
Russia has an economy the size of Canada’s or Italy’s. They cannot sustain this for as long as they want. While Ukraine gets direct aid from the West, Russia has to pay for what it gets from Iran, China and North Korea.
