Just to put the current conflict in Ukraine in perspective:
In 1991 in Iraq, the U.S. fired 60,000 shells in the entire Gulf War.
Russia does this in one day.
NATO's industrial base is not capable of such production.
Europe is not capable of building an arsenal capable of countering the Russian army.
Expert Opinion:
According to former U.S. Marine Corps officer Scott Ritter, in a war against Russia, the British will run out of ammunition in two weeks. Scott Ritter said they "won't last two weeks because they will have lost their entire army by then."
According to Scott, NATO has been demilitarized. Even the United States,
according to Scott, has run out of ammunition for its most important systems, which are designed to destroy Russian military forces - in the event of conflict.
Scott says the Russian military, according to leaked documents from the Ukrainian Defense Ministry itself, has inflicted 250,000 casualties on Ukrainians. That's three times the size of the entire UK standing army.
Scott calculates that no European army would have come into conflict with the Ukrainian army before the war. He explains that the Ukrainian military would destroy Poland, Germany, Romania, etc.
With inside knowledge due to his military experience/connections in the U.S., Scott is aware of the level of support, training and supplies to the Ukrainian military since 2014. Scott describes the Ukrainian army through 2022 as the most combat-ready army in Europe, with more combat experience than any other army in Europe.
Scott Ritter estimates total Russian and allied losses at 15,000, which is consistent with our previous estimate.
The Ukrainians are losing thousands of men without ever having come face to face with a Russian soldier. This is consistent with the videos we saw from various Ukrainian units who refused to fight and called on the Ukrainian authorities to pull them out of combat. They said the same thing. The ratio of casualties between Russia and Ukraine is staggering. Such numbers we have not seen in modern history.
Russia is doing this with 200,000 people, a peacetime economy. Russia has not mobilized. Russia has engaged 20% of its capabilities.
Another thing to add: When we look at the maps, we only see "small advance" arrows. Small advance arrows accomplish one thing: They demilitarize Ukraine and inflict heavy casualties on Ukrainians without endangering Russian lives. Russia is not sticking to a specific timetable here. They have no reason to rush. Anyone who has studied history, especially the battles of World War II, knows that large movements on the map with arrows cost heavy casualties. Thousands of people die. There is simply no reason for that. In fact, the longer Russia procrastinates, the more it demilitarizes Europe and depletes the military reserves and funds of the United States.
At the same time, the Russian military is currently the most combat-ready military in the world. The longer this drags on, the more soldiers get combat experience because of rotations. The more pilots will be able to improve their skills, naval skills, reconnaissance skills, etc.
No modern army has fought a war even remotely similar to the Ukrainian war. This is not a war where aircraft bomb the enemy to the ground, cities are reduced to rubble, and soldiers then enter the fray as heroes with minimal resistance - this is ground war in its purest form; artillery battles, conquest of territory. This is where individual skills and strategy are crucial.
The world hasn't seen anything like this since World War II. Russia will demilitarize Ukraine. Russia will achieve its goals. No magic weapon can change that. No one with a military background doubts that.
