Quotes from the article:

Some front-line commanders, he continues, have begun refusing orders to advance, even when they came directly from the office of the President. “They just want to sit in the trenches and hold the line,” he says. “But we can’t win a war that way.”

At one point in early October, he said, the political leadership in Kyiv demanded an operation to “retake” the city of Horlivka, a strategic outpost in eastern Ukraine that the Russians have held and fiercely defended for nearly a decade. The answer came back in the form of a question: With what? “They don’t have the men or the weapons,” says the officer. “Where are the weapons? Where is the artillery? Where are the new recruits?”

In some branches of the military, the shortage of personnel has become even more dire than the deficit in arms and ammunition. One of Zelensky’s close aides tells me that even if the U.S. and its allies come through with all the weapons they have pledged, “we don’t have the men to use them.”

Nothing screams 4.9% growth like UPS shares hitting 52 week lows on drop in packages and collapse in US demand for cardboard boxes.

Current thing has changed. This is the new election issue of 2024. Requesting everyone to change their Twitter profiles.

“They’ll never shut down the economy” “They’d never just open the borders to migrants” “They’ll never force people to take vaccines” “They’ll never do a military draft”

YES, THESE ARE REAL QUOTES FROM THE US ARMY WAR COLLEGES OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE!

The Russia-Ukraine War is exposing significant vulnerabilities in the Army’s strategic personnel depth and ability to withstand and replace casualties. Army theater medical planners may anticipate a sustained rate of roughly 3,600 casualties per day, ranging from those killed in action to those wounded in action or suffering disease or other non-battle injuries. With a 25 percent predicted replacement rate, the personnel system will require 800 new personnel each day. For context, the United States sustained about 50,000 casualties in two decades of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. In large-scale combat operations, the United States could experience that same number of casualties in two weeks.

Large-scale combat operations troop requirements may well require a reconceptualization of the 1970s and 1980s volunteer force and a move toward partial conscription.

@nugger @BowsacNoodle Any reasonable fraction of global energy from fusion plants would add well under 1% to current helium venting to the atmosphere.

@BowsacNoodle Too many satellites depleting Helium 😜
