  1. Again, I didn’t mean as far as manpower, although they appear to have more than Ukraine. They’re battle tested as they’ve had to adapt to this new kind of warfare. We’re seeing the increased number of drones, newer EW systems deployed. They’ve increased missile and shell production. What EW capabilities do we have? What drone production capacity? I have no doubt that we can build higher tech, more expensive drones. But this conflict seems to be more about mass production than anything else. It’s shocking to me that we can’t match their artillery shell production anytime soon. The hollowing out of our industrial capacity is a big problem, especially if (when?) we end up in multiple conflicts. Our country is awfully complacent, and this thread is a microcosm of that imo. oh, it’s succeeded, but their plan was the Russian would scurry and they didn’t. Now they’re using small craft to bring over everything with sometimes not enough drinking water on the left side. Unless something changes it will be much ado about nothing. The calls that something big is about to happen is very reminiscent of the summer counteroffensive.
  2. All the dead Ukrainians? Decimation of their country? I certainly do get the cynical view that rubblizing and rebuilding parts of Ukraine will make some people money. There’s always unintended consequences though. Look what’s happening to Germany. Vast deindustrialization. They’ll be moving to rust belt status in the future. How will that be handled by their population? Not well, I’m guessing. And I’m no saying I know how that could’ve been prevented, but a lot of this thread is Go Team! without even knowing if it’s true or what will be the fallout. In terms of manpower yes, but they’ve been battle tested in the new ways of war and ramped their spend significantly.
  3. You should read the actual article. The landing is going nowhere. Here’s another interesting figure I saw recently. Uk estimates 70,000 dead, counting Wagner. Less than I expected.
  4. How can you be so sure of yourself and so wrong, repeatedly? You’re the perfect example of how isolated this thread has become. If the Russians are spread so thin, how do they have the initiative almost everywhere? As for the bridgehead, not all great news there. You wouldn’t know from thread, but things are going to shit quickly. I thought Russia was weak? Bottom line is the prognostications here have been wrong. Y’all trumpet the same wrong 5 or 6 accounts from Twitter, so you come up with the wrong plans to get the outcome you want. Russia was always going to care about this more than us. So either we should’ve let the Istanbul negotiations go through and reach a ceasefire or we needed to ramp shit up. We broke up the initial peace negotiations because we wanted to weaken Russia and now they’ve cranked up their military production massively. Dumb And this will all get deleted because the truth is hard to face.
