    This is such a lame excuse, the heaviest attrition I have seen so far (other than the attrition to Russian soldiers teeth) is to Russian tanks, APC stocks, Russian warm water navy, ammo dumps and oil depots.

    Imagine if 4 and a half years ago someone told you Russia was about to get into a stalemate war of attrition near current borders that would last over 4 years. The whole situation is an embarrassment for Russia at this stage.

      Wars of attrition are not about territory. The fact that you don’t understand this basic fact shows that you have no business braying on this subject. The whole situation is an embarrassment for brainwashed westies who think a war between NATO and Russia would be over in a few months. One has to have an utterly infantile understanding of the world to expect that.

      “The fact that we’re not losing as fast as we expected is actually a victory”
