peter zeihan quick update :

- russia unable to replenish armored vehicles, using horses and golfcarts in places
- death:wounded ratio increased ~30% since 2024

my comments :

as long as ukraine orders empanadas (everyone makes promises and nobody actually does anything), such that trump's actions dont further damage ukraine , and also doesnt boost putin's economy, things look real bad for russia.

every month that passes, european nations are building to brook less bullshi+ from putin, and adopting modern warfare planning faster than america.
outside of some insane putin action, i do not see how russia can remain an invasive threat for any nato member; they have insufficient men nor materials.

it would take so little for trump to push russia over the cliff, but commander shinsplintz will simply wait and take credit for a victory by either side.
