The whole stalemate thing is just copium. The west admits that their industrial capacity can't produce weapons and ammunition at the rate necessary to sustain the current intensity of the conflict, and they've run through the existing stocks at this point. Meanwhile, Ukraine is also rapidly running out of experienced and motivated soldiers. On the other hand, Russian industrial production continues to ramp up and the army is growing. And Russia's already going on offensive which I'm guessing is just a prelude to what we'll see in winter once the ground hardens.
