Comments by "Marc Joly" (@emjizone) on "Ukraine is Winning the War of Attrition" video.

  1. I remember how often pro-Ukrainian commentators repeated that the advances of Russian forces this winter were insignificant. Pro-Russian commentators are probably saying the same thing about Ukrainian forces advancing in the summer. For me, the point was to break through the fortified lines before the rain, so that Russia doesn't spend another winter building more defenses to make it look like this land is theirs. Is that still possible? Hardly as it looks from afar. But war is not just a matter of territory drawn on a map. As you say, it's also a matter of attrition, economics, morale, demographics, politics, and many other factors. It would be nice to put it all into perspective with clear statistical graphs of the most important indicators. Will Russia be able to conquer more land after this? Hardly. Not to mention that it's harder in the mud. What I see is Russia with much more resources on proper, wasting much more. This whole operation is a waste. The idea of attacking friends is a call for waste. How much can Russia waste? It's extremely stupid to waste, but since stupidity is an option for absolute extremists and Russia still has a lot to waste, how much more? How much more before there is nothing left ?

  3. 9:05 Collaborations are plausible and certainly welcome. However, don't imagine that Ukraine is only gifted in music and agriculture. It's also an industrialized country with a great deal of experience in aeronautics, having already exported aircraft engines and served the USSR enormously in this field. I'm sure they're capable of inventing and designing advanced flying machines even without any technical assistance. But of course, any industrial collaboration, especially in times of war when infrastructures and means of production are also under threat, can make the difference between prototypes insufficient in quantity and a real integrated solutions on the scale of the threat.
