That's the problem. This is an old school war. If Russia can keep moving the front lines the correct direction them nothing else matters. I don't say this because I like Russia but because it shows how much more support we need to be giving Ukraine. The manpower difference is something like 4 to 1. The casualty ratio is something like 3 to 1 which is high but within Russian standards. If nothing changes Russia will win this in another few years.

    There's a lot of truth to that unfortunately. Historically, Russia has shown many times that any number of casualties is acceptable .

    If all that they have to continue throwing at this war is casualties, Ukraine has already won. Russia may have plenty of meat left but they do not have equipment left. And no war, especially a modern one, is going to be won without equipment and vehicles. Ukraine has NATO support behind them and Russia has... North Korea, maybe China if they're feeling charitable that day.

    I mean, nothing changing is a big ask, on both sides. It's still up in the air, and hinges on the American election more than anything else at this moment.
