    Russia can only keep up this pace of operations for 6 months to 1 year at most and that’s it.

    So then you have 3 years of war, at the expense of your own economy, at the expense of your own population, at the expense of a million dead, and you conquered only 20% of Ukraine.

    That’s it, then the manpower runs out. Russia is already arriving with tanks coming from the year 1955.

    Ukraine is also able to produce 40% what they need themselves right now. They have 1.4 million drones, they have 2 factories of rare metal in Ukraine that produces munitions, more than america produces now, and Ukraine’s production is only going to get more. So it’s also not like russia is on top here despite north korea despite all the other support. So both sides are not going well, it’s a wear and tear.

      I remember the warmongerers trotting these lines out at the start of fighting. 3+ years later, Russia has a big chunk of Ukraine and is steadily gaining more.
