No, you see, what Ukraine is meant to do is bunker up so Russia can just send in the meat grinders and win by attrition. It’s not fair if they fight back.

I don't think the Kremlin can win by attrition like they have in the past. They're burning through USSR stockpiles and not replacing them, they're in the middle of a demographic crunch even without the war, and the last mobilization was deeply unpopular.

This isn't the USSR, it's just a corrupt, isolated, shrinking Russia being dragged into a barbaric war by their Mafia leaders in the Kremlin.
