re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

The Russian leadership is likely pursuing a long-term operation where they bank that Russia's advantages in population and resources will eventually exhaust Ukraine.

This is what Stephen Kotkin said on his most recent Hoover Institute interview. It’s turned into a war of attrition. Which makes things more dangerous, in my opinion.

The only way Ukraine can sustain is if we continue to support them and it’s getting to the point where our stocks are going to take a while to replenish. And we don’t have the budget to quickly replenish them given the current debt levels and we blew our wad during Covid.

On the other side, Russia can’t sustain either, which could bring China into the fold. That brings us all closer to an actual war with each other.
