    What is Russia going to do? All of their best military units are already dead both in terms of hardware and personnel.

    The Russians have already gone up against Western hardware and lost so we’ve essentially had a preview of the war except no Western forces have been engaged in that war. So apparently Russia is going to attack an enemy who is at full fighting strength when they themselves are severely depleted and are actually at this very moment relying on drafting.

      Full fighting strength? Have you not been seeing the news about low recruitment, depleted stockpiles, and jets falling from the sky? Couple this with the MIC markups meaning that the 800b+ budget only gets a fraction of that value in actual asset production. The US military is overwanked.
