Dizz,

In the eyes of a dictator , you don't look at casualties but reaping long term benefits. He believes the Mother Russia will be great again and stop at nothing to see that happen

There is no long term benefits here.
Russia is 17million square kilometeres in size. A chunk of land the size of South Korea isn't a kingdom maker for them. Even if the end game is all of Ukraine you now have 40m ppl who hate you and your country.

You are further shunned from participating in the developed world (the developing world quite likes Russia).

President Joe Biden, who is currently meeting with G7 leaders in Germany for a summit primarily focused on Ukraine, announced recently that the US would provide Ukraine with "more advanced rocket systems and munitions" as its war with Russia grinds on. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is slated to virtually address Biden and other G7 leaders on Monday.

In response to requests by Ukrainian forces, other military assistance is also likely to be announced this week, including additional artillery ammunition and counter-battery radars. Ukrainian officials have asked for the missile defense system, known as a NASAMS system, given the weapons can hit targets more than 100 miles away, though the Ukrainian forces will likely need to be trained on the systems, a source said. The NASMAS system the same one that protects Washington, DC, and the area around the nation's capital.

The US has been steadily announcing additional security assistance for Ukraine. Last week, the Biden administration announced an additional $450 million in military assistance for Ukraine, giving it four more multiple launch rocket systems and artillery ammunition for other systems.

And earlier this month, the Biden administration said it was providing an additional $1 billion in military aid to Ukraine, a package that includes shipments of additional howitzers, ammunition and coastal defense systems.

most every thing were calculated before they struck on, but not every thing is going as smoothly as they would have calcuated, or would have liked. but, to say severe miscalculation? no, thats over reach.

severe miscalcuation is afghanistan, is the war against assad that saw the birth of isis, is any action against NK.

so far, russia has been achieving its objectives, even if at great cost... and these great costs may have been within their margins of error.

i mean, D day and the russian fronts were won by pure attrition. last man standing bizniz. millions of dead. it was still considered win.

D-Day was an amphibious assault followed by a tactical incursion. It was not a war of attrition. The invasion of Germany is the closest that you will find to a WWII European Theater battle of attrition that included the US.

The Battle for the Eastern Front was a battle of attrition. The Battle of Britain was a battle of attrition.

During WWII, of the more than 25 million military deaths:
Japan - 2.1 mn
Germany - 5.5 mn
China - 4 mn
Soviets - over 10.7 mn
US - 0.4 mn
UK - 0.4 mn

The US and the UK fought in, and commanded, both the Pacific and European theaters of war. Japan, Germany, China, and the Soviet Union did not fight outside of their respective theater of war.

ur forgetting how many lives lost on the beaches to penetrate that front. they had to grind their way in. after they penetrated then it became more strategy based. the strategy on the beach was 'throw enough meat till the guns get clogged'
and it wasnt a 'war' it was a battle. last man standing.

Operation Overlord. Study that, then try to talk about it. You seem to lack the fundamental understanding of what is meant by a "battle of attrition."

russia is trading with people who dont care about that list. only really western countries are in tandem with US. there are many other countries in teh world.

The high tech parts in Russian drones and missiles don't come from the third world. They come from France, UK and other developed countries. Russia is now using anti ship missiles as land attack missiles and pretty soon those too will run short.

China and India not going to be filling certain trade gaps anytime soon

BASED PUTIN

Shirtless western leaders would be a 'disgusting sight': Putin

https://www.wionews.com/world/shirtless ... tin-493162

Russian President Vladimir Putin, perhaps in a devastating reply, has shot back at western leaders saying that these leaders, if shirtless, would make for a 'disgusting sight'. Putin's comments came after European and other western leaders appeared to poke fun at shirtless Putin who, in past, has been clicked riding horse and other 'macho' activities.

"I don’t know exactly how far they wanted to get undressed, above or below the waist. But I think, either way, it would be a disgusting sight," said Putin. He was speaking with reporters at a summit in Tajikistan.

Earlier, western leader poked fun at the Russian president at a G7 summit lunch in Germany. They joked whether they should go shirtless to project a manly image.

"Jackets on? Jackets off? Do we take our coats off?" British Prime Minister Boris Johnson asked as he sat down at the table in Bavaria's picturesque Elmau Castle, where Chancellor Olaf Scholz was hosting the summit of seven powerful democracies.

The leader from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States and the European Union pondered the dilemma.

Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, suggested they wait for the official picture before disrobing but then Boris Johnson quipped "We have to show that we're tougher than Putin" and the joke kept rolling.

"We're going to get the bare-chested horseback riding display," Trudeau said.

"Horseback riding is the best," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, without apparently weighing in on the clothing issue itself.

Boris Johnson interjected: "We've got to show them our pecs."

In a photo-op in 2009, a shirtless Putin was clicked riding a horse. Putin, a former KGB agent and a black belt in martial arts, is a fitness fanatic. His fit physique on the horseback had become topic of discussion everywhere. The Russian state machinery has been projecting him as a macho, 'manly' leader who was in charge of Russia.

Belarus sends out conscription notices en masse

https://english.nv.ua/nation/belarus-se ... 53394.html

Belarussian citizens have started receiving conscription notices, local news outlet Zerkalo reported on June 30.

“(The notice) arrived at work by fax – the original didn’t get to my home (address)…,” a Minsk reservist told Zerkalo.

“There were around ten of us there. We were called in for individual meetings with someone from the regiment we’re attached to, I think. Our personal information was verified, photos compared. (They) checked if we still had the same shoe and clothing size, confirmed our military specialties.”

Belarussian enlistment offices denied this campaign has anything to do with the war in Ukraine, and said it all is related to exercises and territorial defense training.

^ Given that Russia is preoccupied in Ukraine the time is ripe for Belarus to have an uprising against Lukashenka now. Man has been leader since the fall of the USSR propped up by Moscow and has ruled with an autocratic fist. Even Russia has had three presidents (Putin broken up by Medvedev) in that time.
