"Its time for Ukrainians to face the fact that they can't sustain this level of military operation and to start working on cease fire/peace deal."
Absolutely hilarious how western strategy of trying to fuel extremism in Xinjiang by undermining the economy is now backfiring in a spectacular fashion. Really goes to show how complex modern world is, and that seemingly unrelated events can come together resulting in dramatic consequences.
This is making me reassess Russia's prospects in an all out war with NATO. If they can't supply Ukraine alone as it is, how will they supply a war machine for an entire continent when trade is even more limited?
NATO's strength has been that the USA is in it. European countries have generally let their militaries atrophy since they could usually rely on the USA providing higher level military functions and general deterrence.
Russia would get crushed quickly in a conventional war versus an American led NATO. Russia has a decent shot at winning a war against an Americaless NATO.
