100% correct.
Russia will be out of stockpiles from 12-18 months, depending on what equipment you are talking about. The three day war has dragged on for three years. Russian incompetence and corruption affected their preparedness, and now their military has been attrited to a point where their effectiveness and preparedness are almost nil. If they had a cease-fire tomorrow, Russia won't recover from this debacle for probably a generation.
Not to mention what it's doing to their economy. All for the price of some tanks we weren't going to use anymore anyway, and other obsolete equipment.
The longer Ukraine is willing to keep them tied-up, the better for the rest of the western world. And then we all can focus on China, as you said. Which is the more immediate threat to the west and global security.
