There, now we have all brought the same amount of rigor to this discussion.
I’ll also point out that everyone sees Russia struggling in this war that they’re “definitely winning”. The baseless assertions may have been intimidating at the start of the war but we’re years into it now and Ukraine is still standing.
* Drone production capacity Russia has (small drones, jet powered Gerans)? -> No
* A domestic Starlink like system (Rassvet)? -> No
* Weapons in quality and quantity (e.g. Oreshnik, Kinzhal, Zirkon)? -> No
* Quantity of FAB like bombs with advanced correction systems? -> No
* Quantity and quality of nuclear weapons arsenal? -> NO
So my post is based on facts anyone can check. This is a war of attrition, by definition this is progressing slowly.
Let's not pretend a country with a economy the size of Spain can have a meaningful chance against the EU. Russia's "3 day war" has turned itself into a vassal state of China.
That may be true, but these weapons need to be transported into Ukraine, with railway, gas stations, bridges and port (Odessa) infrastructure being gradually destroyed by Russia, there is no way to go for the Collective West.
I don't understand how "France's nuclear shield" may help Ukraine militarily in any way. It's the EU that seeks war with Russia, don't pretend it's the other way around.
