The US/NATO are too afraid to confront Russia head on because they lack the ability to supply the kind of munitions to engage for more than 8 -10 days based on present stocks (At the rate of use in Ukraine, this is equivalent to a years production in the US...'sorry, we're all of stock for Javelins, M777 etc..come back next year').

That is why the west were saying Russia would run out of ammo by March. They think, because their "intelligence' services and Military are led by morons, that Russia is like the US/UK/NATO...in its level of incompetence regarding production (Russia's MIC is centralised and produces based on defense and yes, they have all they need for self-sufficient production based on all out war, not skirmishes with the Jihad, flip-flops and AK47 brigade, that the USA's 'finest', the 173rd Airbourne, have been fighting for 20 years in Afghan and Iraq and..er...losing to). They need some history lessons...start with Napoleon, then a bit of Kaiser Wilhelm II...and end the lesson in a bunker in Berlin with Herr Hitler....all learned painful career/life ending lessons attacking Russia through Ukraine..when will they ever learn? Never..because they are as stupid as they are insane. MORE SANCTIONS!
