    No, steadily is the word.

    Because it’s several thousand days, tens of billions of dollars and what a million dead over projected estimates.

    What estimates?

    That’s evidence of attrition

    Yes, Russia had been using an attrition strategy for most of this war, using drones and shelling to exhaust their opponent’s reserves of troops and equipment. The reason this has been working is that Russia can field more troops and is producing more equipment.

    It’s Manchester United going 0-0 with an incredibly low ranking pre kindergarten team woke chanting about how close it was.

    Then you’ll have to forgive my confusion as to how and why the kindergarten team now fully controls one fifth of Man U

      Putins comments to reporters said two weeks, the intercepted plans lay out a two week strategy those are estimates.

      You get that attrition is the dumbest possible thing to use a strategy when you start a surprise war with an overwhelming disparity of force right? Like choosing the way most wars are lost as a strategy reenforces the fact they’re quagmired.

      Again you miss the point, a group of grown men shouldn’t not lose slower they should have already won and handily at that.
