Russian Ukraine shenanigans
https://www.reuters.com/article/ukraine-crisis-ammunition-csg/restocking-western-ammunition-after-arming-ukraine-will-take-years-producer-idINL8N32R4T9 https://www.businessinsider.com/us-scrambling-for-artillery-shells-ukraine-can-use-against-russia-2023-1 In World War I and II, artillery ammunition wouldn't have been such a problem. The US, Germany, Britain, and Russia eventually developed enough manufacturing capacity to keep their big guns in action. During the Soviet offensive against the Seelow Heights in April 1945, Red Army gunners fired 500,000 shells in 30 minutes. Unfortunately for the Russian soldiers, their generals followed Soviet military doctrine nearly to the letter, and the Germans had grown used to their tactics. Anticipating a Soviet bombardment, the German generals had pulled most of their men back from the first defensive lines and reduced the number of men in the second lines. Holy hell

So basically, with none of us here knowing exactly what is discussed behind closed doors, you wouldn't change any of the support given so far. I don't think we disagree much. You can sleep easier tonight knowing so 🙂

I think I've asked this of you before. You're the president and have free reign with support of congress for any decision. What is your strategy on the invasion of Ukraine and after?

Phase 7 comrade. Possibly 7.5

Agreed. I think mother Russia is in the hole on this one though. I can't imagine there are many Ukrainian fighting age males who aren't involved in the war effort in some fashion.

Most estimates put Russian casualties at 200,000. The initial partial mobilization sent an estimated 20k of age men fleeing to other countries. They have cleaned out their jails to fill Wagner ranks. With longer range weapons and expertise, Russians supply lines are getting much longer. Ukraine has to be getting thin on manpower but they are the defender at this point and they have shorter supply lines and the backing of the most of the free world. I would think they have some fallback plans in place to bait the Russians a bit but I'm just a guy on the internet.

Do you think their second mobilization will fare better? As far as I can tell, the first mob resulted in the loss of gained territory. They skipped the quality guys the first couple times around?
