The Russians have broken through Ukrainian lines in several areas. Europe dithered and now they will have to fight the Russians in the streets of their own countries.
Question: what are the tens of millions of military age illegal migrants going to be doing while all of this is going on?
Yeah, you got it...
There are serious problems for the Ukrainians, but no real deep breakthroughs.
HOWEVER - Russia has reconstituted its Army and has seriously ramped up its military production. Russian troops are now "battle-hardened" and the pictures/ videos I have seen lately no longer show people with outdated equipment and ragged uniforms. Putin has moved someone into the defense ministry he considers his "Albert Speer" to continue to ramp up production.
Russia in 1939/40 looked like a bad joke. By 1942/3 it was a different story. We have just about given them the same amount of time. China, meanwhile, is giving them the financial means to not only survive, but to dramatically increase armament factory staffing and production.
Warfare today is a mixture of 1917 and modern drones. It does not look like anyone can make major breakthroughs, but Ukraine is being ground down. They are running short of ammunition, especially the artillery ammunition I have expounded upon in the past. They are also running short of manpower, and it seems that their 20 year olds are about as committed to national defense survival as those in the rest of Europe.
