Is Putin possibly intentionally keeping the war in Ukraine going to drain the west of its resources?

Is Putin possibly intentionally keeping the war in Ukraine going to drain the west of its resources?

Look, dear, You’re working so hard, but there is simply no way you can convince anyone since you don’t start in consensus reality.

The West is supplying Ukraine with surplus equipment. They haven’t used any of their prime resources. Russia, in the meanwhile, has spent 70% of their arsenal of smart bombs, and are running out of tanks that are in working order, and obviously even of military grade trucks since they’re using civilian issue now. And they’re running out of people, since they now have to rely on Syrian and Ethiopian mercenaries.

No. No, Putin isn’t doing this half-heartedly. No, it’s not a trick. Russia really is this weak. Russia really is getting weaker by the day, while Ukraine is getting stronger.

And now, the West seems to be about to actually send Ukraine some of their best weapons.

You should ask for a raise if you actually have to try to spin this in a positive light for Putin.
