Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83223389 Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, the former commanding general of the US Army in Europe, told Insider that Ukraine's ability to push Russian troops back to the existing borders depends on continued Western support through sanctions and weapons deliveries. "The Russians are exhausted," Hodges said. "They don't have much else they can do right now." He added that much of Putin's military is already committed to the war, but Russia has had little territorial success to show for its efforts after 20 weeks of war. Hodges said the "full weight" of Western support is just now beginning to take shape with the delivery of HIMARS long-range rocket systems — weapons Ukraine has asked for from the US and its allies for weeks. He added that one key to Ukraine's success will be knocking out Russia's "only advantage": Putin's arsenal of artillery and rockets. "It looks to me that wherever the Russians do not have overwhelming firepower advantage, then the Ukrainians win 100 times out of a 100," Hodges said. "So providing the Ukrainian's ability to strike Russian artillery, Russian rockets, their ammunition storage, and command posts, that's what destroys and disrupts the one thing that the Russians have that is to their advantage." Ukraine also maintains a significant advantage in morale, Hodges said, while Russian troops are bogged down by a lack of resources and capabilities — preventing them from making any "meaningful progress" on the battlefield. Hodges said Russian troops are willing to keep fighting a "war of attrition," because they have "nothing else they can do," and Putin could drag the conflict through the end of the year in the hope that the West loses interest in supporting Ukraine because of domestic issues like gas prices and inflation. In a war of attrition, Hodges said, Russia needs unlimited time, ammunition, and personnel. They appear to have enough ammunition, he said, but a troop shortage may force the Kremlin to recruit from prisons. [link to www.businessinsider.com (secure)] |

No problem. Biden will just authorize tactical nukes and push them back to Russia. What could possibly go wrong? |
