Although we're seeing Brads rake on T-90s. Those are great for propaganda and stuff. But if ISW maps are accurate. Ukraine is losing ground in all of the places they gained in the last counter-offensive and in other places. Maybe Russia is wasting blood and treasure here, but Ukraine is giving up a lot. The Spring will be pivotal, but honestly I'm unsure why they won't use the winter as the Spring the fields just become muck for a few months.
The loss of ground is probably why they're using cruise missiles to reach deep into Russian territory. But Russia appears to be nowhere near the breaking point we thought they would be at. However, one only needs to critically think about how they fight wars. From Napoleon to Hitler, they're willing to lose a lot of bodies if it means they win.

Putin kills anybody in his own circle who disagrees with him; he's not afraid to sacrifice Russian farm boys by the tens of thousands.

I think Ukraine eventually loses. Dribbling advanced weapons will be the key to defeat.
We should have given them, Patriots, ATACMS, HIMARS,and F-16's in the early months.
The West is committing genocide, with Russia as the executioner.
The elites will high-five themselves for depleting Russia's military, and ignore the lives lost.
Yeah, Team Brandon.

I agree. Putin dies and--unless there's a coup--Medvedev or Kiriyenko take his place and carry on with the war.
Dont know how many countries already have the Patriot system, but not giving some to Ukraine can mean they were hoping this gets drawn out or Ukraine eventually falls.

Russia's economy, for now, is very insulated due to various measures they took that is not reliant on the value of the ruble.
Something we could you know do here if we stopped turning good farm land into houses. They don't need to trade with many people to survive.

we have 14 units for worldwide use.
Ukraine has 7.
12 additional units are being built this FY.
Our units are being attacked, and we can't give every fucking unit to the Ukraine.
We only have 14 units?? Is that 14 batteries or 14 launchers??
Please enlighten me.
Please enlighten me.
14 batteries.
Ok, I had no idea Ukraine had any. I haven't been following. Last I knew they were still debating sending them, but I could have been totally wrong about that also.
Most of my Ukraine news comes from this site, or Instagram pages like Atlas or Real News No Bullshit.

A BN has 4-ish batteries (I've seen anywhere from 4-7). You're looking at 2 battalions or one brigade's worth of batteries. I think each battery has 4 launchers. Batteries do not require colocation with their higher echelons, only voice and data.

Maybe my metaphor should have been a "Leech (sic) Field"
Just like a septic tank is full of shit - the sewage farm allows the septic tank to bleed into the surrounding area. It's designed so the soil inherently "covers up" all of the excess shit - your grass looks great but underneath the surface is just a bunch of shit.
I spelled it "Leech" because thats what our politicians really are - a bunch of fucking leeches...
so, yeah -
- Leech Field
Thats the metaphor I'm going with from here on out
