    On paper it isn’t even close.

    NATO is not even willing to let someone else fight and win but magically when the casualties are theirs they’re totally gonna own the Russians?

    It’s the same kind of numerical thinking that lead most of the world to think Russia was going to win in the opening weeks of the attack on Kiev . More money and better weapons will equal a quick and decisive win.

    Russia has absorbed many hundreds of thousand of casualties. Ukraine has no choice but to fight .

    Reasonable chance that NATO has trouble sustaining support for the kind of troop losses needed for a war.
