Russia does not fight wars of attrition by design. It fights wars of attrition because its armed forces are inept, poorly trained and corrupt. In the Chechen wars, the Russians got slaughtered when they went into Grozny and tried to directly engage Chechen rebels. So, they just set up artillery and bombed just about every building in Grozny until there was no where left for the rebels to hide. Any well trained modern military force would have rooted out the Chechen rebels in a matter of weeks. The Russians had at least a 10-1 advantage in man power and was infinitely better equipped. But they were completely incapable of waging urban warfare because you actually have to have well trained and capable soldiers and a competent chain of command and leadership to do that.
You're so hopelessly dumb...
Russia 100% opts for quantity over quality and always has.
If you weren't an imbecile you'd understand technological advantages go out the window in urban combat.
Correct. Ukraine is 1000 times better than the oozing pustule to its east. No wonder it's so easy to convince Russians to go die in Ukraine - it's better than living in the sewage pit they call home.
1. Ukraine forced Russia out of Sumy again this year. Russian offensives fail all the time.
2. Ukraine has been holding Russia to minimal gains for three years.
3. No one knows if Ukraine will lose the war without European ground troops. So far it's only asked for arms, which it's making good use of. If it looked like Ukraine was in danger of collapse, several of Russia's neighbors would likely be willing to send ground troops.
4. I knew guys like you in high school. They thought they were really going to transfer to Harvard after getting their AA at the local JuCo. The levels of self-deception were sad and shocking in a teenager. But at your age, it's hilarious.
3. Anyone with a brain and a shred of military knowledge knows Ukraine is losing the war.
Ukraine has 29-30 million population currently. Russia over 140 million.

1. Russia is in Sumy for the sole purpose of forcing Ukraine to commit forces and reserves it cannot spare to weaken the line in the areas it pulled those forces from. Russia 100% achieved it's objective in Sumy. Because you're a painfully stupid person you can't even comprehend this.
2. Gains are gains. Attrition wars are slow. This is how Russia has always fought.
3. Anyone with a brain and a shred of military knowledge knows Ukraine is losing the war.
4. You were an idiot in high school and somehow you're even dumber now.
How personally does Ukraine assistance affect you? Concrete examples.
My prediction is you cannot answer.
I pay taxes. They are stealing money from me and flushing it directly down the toilet in a foreign country.
How does Ukraine personally affect you??
Ukraine could be carved out of the earth and launched into space tomorrow and you wouldn't be impacted even a little.
The argument you're making is absurd and self defeating.
Bull they are stealing money from you - you choose to live in your country - you are whining about your government which you can willfully choose in elections. You'd never make any of these comments around Ukrainian Americans.
You have no idea how my life is impacted - you are an ignorant fool.
Bad Wiggins had a strange emotional investment in Russia. It was odd. Even though he claimed he was a dispassionate objective observer, you could tell there was an emotional link. He would get ridiculously het up talking about Rodina.
