    “The Russian advantage at this stage is not decisive, but the war is not a stalemate,” said Michael Kofman

    Oh hello Kofman, welcome to the real world.

      There is no end to what can be achieved with an infinite amount of expendable contractniki.

        Oh, is that it? Or is it because the West cannot produce artillery shells quickly enough (haven’t prayed enough to supply side Jesus)? Or because Ukraine is running out of guys to kidnap? Maybe racist ideas about Russian incompetence and weakness clouded Western judgement and they underestimated the Russians?

        Well, whatever it is, Kofman should have figured this out before the summer offensive. Some reality before that disaster could have saved many lives. But then again, if someone like Kofman had broken out of the collective delusion before June, they would have just kicked him out of the club. Probably smart of him to tell them what they wanted to hear.
