Feeling the Heat, Moon of Alabama has a good article about the collective west, and many usually-intelligent analysts drinking their own Kool-Aid about the operation to bleed Russia to death in Ukraine, which is actually bleeding the west to death in Ukraine, while energy-starving Europe. The Russians began the special-military-operation barely ahead of Ukraine in combat battalion equivalents, and are now way ahead. They executed a slow destruction of deeply dug defensive battlements, designed to wear them out, and manned by the best active army in Europe, initially with more tanks than the rest of the European NATO members combined. The US and NATO can not begin to make up the massive losses of those 8 years of military build up in Ukraine, which is largely destroyed. The western industrial base cannot keep up with artillery usage. Russia is increasing stockpiles of munitions while shelling like mad day after day.
