Ukraine’s war of attrition

This is the main explication why the collective West is unable to sustain a war of attrition in Ukraine. Till Ukraine proxy war, the west was lulled by a triumphalist mind and feelings of invincibility as If we look back of its previous wars of aggression since the demise of the USSR, the western armies and NATO’s miliary forces were able to share their resources and to defeat swiftly and easily the armies of their adversaries. One can remember that following Saddam Hussein’s incursion in Kuweit in August, 1990, George Bush Senior formed international coalition of 32 countries to wage a blitzkrieg against the Iraqi regime on January 16, 1991 leading to the destruction of the Iraqi army and its expulsion from Kuweit. In 1999, after 78 days of bombing, NATO’s member states defeated the Serbian army. One decade after the Gulf war, on October 2001, the United States, under the pretext of fighting terrorism, formed another international coalition leading to the fall of the Taliban regime in Kabul within days and the occupation of this central Asia country during 20 years. In March 2003, the United States supported by its European and the Middle East proxies invaded Iraq and occupied the country in only two months. In 2011, NATO’s military forces destroyed Libya in only seven months, from March to October of this year. Till Ukraine proxy war, the United states achieved its economic, political and geopolitical goals in Iraq and Libya within a short time without a huge mobilization of military resources. Till the launch of Russian military special operation, the West appears to be confident that it is the master of the universe and that its military strength could be allowed to be the most powerful and invincible bloc in the world. But two years after the Russian military operation, the collective west starts realizing its Ukraine proxy war was a trap as this current war is not the other wars of the past and that its military forces which were able to defeat weak countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya have no sufficient resources to sustain a war of attrition against Russia. This explain the disarray and desperation of the western bloc as its industrial military complex is not prepared to cope with the military situation on the battlefield in Ukraine by sustaining mass production of military equipment and ammunitions.  The series of defeats inflicted to the Ukrainian armed forces in the last months and weeks show that the western backers of Kiev regime are unbale to cope with the disastrous posture on the battlefield and to sustain a long war of attrition.
