The only way Putin can win his Ukraine war is at the negotiating table, the primary reason why negotiation should not happen.
While I never wished to be a soldier I have a lot of interest in history and war is one of history’s cornerstones. Just today I revisited the Kasserine Pass fiasco. In the end the Allies won North Africa but the reason the Germans surrendered was that they ran out of fuel and ammunition. WWII was won by the industrial might of the Arsenal of Democracy. It’s the Logistics, stupid! This is not to diminish the valor of the soldiers but you cannot win wars with bare hands.
Jake Broe makes a great argument about why Putin cannot win the war he started. It’s mostly about history, about the Nazi Operation Barbarossa. The Germans took all of Ukraine and lost the war. Back then the Arsenal of Democracy was arming the Soviet Union. Now the West is arming Ukraine.
