An excellent article, and should be compulsory reading for everyone who ever thinks about commenting on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and how Russia "can't keep up with" the rate of casualties. The horrific truth is that Putin can throw millions of low-status Russian men into the meat grinder to absorb Ukrainian ammunition and then keep going until the war of attrition, which dramatically favors Russia, is finally won. NATO meanwhile remains clueless and spineless and dysfunctional, and is waiting for the creature Trump to kill it when he waddles back into the White House in January 2025.
