Europe would not be able to sustain war of attrition with Russia, defence officials say
Defence officials say Europe can’t sustain a war of attrition with Russia due to public lack of appetite for prolonged conflict, requiring Nato to plan for quick wars; Russia may be winning a hybrid war boosting pro-Kremlin far-right parties, pushing Nato to seek closer European coordination as US cuts commitments.
How do they plan for a quick conflict? I suppose they could just surrender right away. They can't win fast, even using Nukes.
You can see them using the fear mongering and propaaganda to soften up the public for cuts to social welfare programs.
They said this had left ministers locked in an unenviable task of persuading unprepared voters to cut welfare spending to fund defence.
Also using the tried & true tactic of wildly exaggerating numbers to raise the perception of threat:
In Ukraine, 200,000 drones are being built each month, with the goal of producing more than 7m in 2026. To support this growth, 500 small and medium-sized companies have sprung up, assembling drones even in small workshops, using mostly Chinese components.
200K drones a MONTH? That would mean the Ukies are buzzing Mother Russia with ~7000 Drones EVERY DAY. Come On! Even if most of them were just spy drones they wouldn't need that many. Maybe they're selling a lot of them? Doubt they could compete with the Chinese on price. Just ridiculous.
They will probably get their war though, and it might even be short. Mainly because they'll run out of Ammo.
