The US doesn't want to give more aid to Ukraine (i.e. giving ATACMS and modern tanks) because they don't want them to win too quickly.

Not because they fear nuclear escalation but because if Russia lost some decisive battles against a Ukraine armed with Abramses and F-16s, they would just withraw quickly and could rebuild their forces. The US wants a drawn-out war that will kill as many Russians as possible, destroy their demographics and cripple the economy, so Russia will cease being a threat in the long-term.

      If they lose slowly enough they might just nuke themselves as they Balkanize and descend into sectarian violence.

        Literally the outcome the US wants the least, They have thousands of nukes scattered all across Russia, leaving these nukes in the hands of various warlords etc. would be a catastrophe.
        Not because the new states would be a threat, but because there would be almost no control over the weapons, and they would spread to Iran, terrorist movements or various African countries.

        If Russia collapse, the US will begin propping up the central government of Russia to prevent balkanization. Or the very least to slow down the process to ensure there is some control with the nuclear weapons in Russia.

    For most of those countries, the budget is actually higher since the nuclear warhead and missile tech division are commonly part of the ministry of energy/ repsective space agencies.

    It's true they want a drawn out war, but it's so they can kill the country with sanctions, steal the wealth the Russians have stored in the west, destroy all of Russia's industry and its armour for 20+ years.
    This war isn't killing that many Russians, or even Ukrainians, demographics are technically able to keep up with the losses taken even if they were 500k/year, which they aren't.
    The reality is it serve two functions, weakening both Russia and the EU due to oil and gas stopping Russia weakening is good for all parties as its an oil state that's too able to dictate terms.
    Now the Chinese are considering a rail network through Turkey instead while hostilities are ongoing, crippling the commercial attempt at China trying to connect to Europe through Russia with its rail network.

    It's all geopolitics, but also from what I understand they have probably ran models on Putins behaviour using their inside sources, ATACMS probably crossed the line in their predictions.

      Most of Russia's demographic losses come from young men fleeing the draft. For every man killed in Ukraine, 10 others immigrate.

      The longer the war and the draft lasts, they more likely those people will settle abroad and never return to Russia. Very soon Russia will face a bigger aging crisis than Japan, the difference is that Russia has no high-value-added industries to cover pensions (really, this was going to happen anyways, the war just accelerates the process).

        Many of these men will soon return to Russia. Only people with actual drafts papers can seek asylum, but many are just going to Georgia and Kazakhstan where they can stay visa free for a while. But when that period ends, they'll be deported and sent back to Russia.
        Russia's real, long term losses of people who flee is probably much smaller than the number of people who have fled.

      Both are false. The US doesn't want to destroy the future of Russia or the Russian demographics. In fact, the US wants the complete opposite. It wants Russia to lose with as little attrition or losses as possible.

      Why? Because Russia isn't the geopolitical foe of the US, China is. And a weak Russia is favorable for China.

      The best case scenario for the US is for the Putin regime to collapse and for Russia to fall into the US or EU sphere of influence so that the Russian civilization can be primed as the front of the next big geopolitical push on the Taiwan conflict.

      I honestly think the Putin regime is a walking corpse right now and its death is already a done deal, we're just waiting for it to finally die. The only "dragging out" the US is doing is just trying to reduce causalities for both sides and for the Putin regime to dissolve as quickly as possible while having to make sure that no nationalist like Dugin is able to grab power in the ensuing power struggle.

      If Navalny or another liberal democratic leader rises up then the US can fulfill its geopolitical goal in Russia while hampering China.

      China is really REALLY dangerous right now because Xi Jinping revealed last weak that China is pivoting away from global trade and an economic focus onto an ideological and military focus. Xi also had very aggressive remarks towards Taiwan and "Chinese sovereignty". It's possible that China winds up invading Taiwan much earlier than people expect.

        Russia has to many conflict zones, the border with China, several million chinese living in eastern Russia. There are multiple states within Russia with strong secession sentiments, not to mention the fluid borders - almost all Russias neighbors have large Russian minority populations.
        All these potential conflicts will drag the US into large scale involvement in northern Asia, and all of these conflicts are unwanted at best.

      Wage discrepancy can explain a bit, but not in this order of magnitude...

      And wage slaving nuclear silo personal is the best way to ensure maintenance issues and secrecy leaks...

      You perfectly can force some schmuck to work semi efficiently in cotton, wheat, etc where results are easily observed... Keeping them efficient when science stuff ? Not so much....

      Look on how spoiled the post nazis scientists had to be to collaborate efficiently with victors?

      In the Us : with new ids, reunited with families and a cozy ( wired and taped) house, all expenses paid by the DoD? Yeah sure !

      In France/ Alsace where they were seen as servile clown by the Mulhouse arms plant? Ehhh most of them blueballed the frenchies and went to Spain and then h&k afterwards.

      In USSR where they were forced to have results with literally a fun on their temple? Lol nope, they were barely on the french level of efficiency...

      Now apply this to "p, perestroika, embezzlement and vranyo 101" Russian military

    I think they don't give us modern tanks and Bradleys because losing them on camera would be a PR disaster. Americans are very sensitive to their losses, and they don't want to see hundreds of photos with destroyed a Abrams posted by the Chinese propagandists and tankies all around the world.

    • 1 year ago

      Then don't send them. Send the export version of Abrams which is nowhere near that the US version is. They didn't care those Abrams got destroyed. Or send them the upgraded M60's. Or M1A1's or something. If it's all about PR, there is something they can give that will help but won't 'embarrass them' if they're lost. Finally, you can always argue that crews are different, language barrier, experience and training programs being rushed, which is why there are losses. In Gulf War, the US lost 2 Bradley's to Iraq. They lost 17 to friendly fire.

      I think the slow rollout of new kit to Ukraine is a combination of time needed for training and to build logistics networks, and the desire to have many rungs of escalation available to keep Putin constrained. There are still many ways for the West to escalate simply by providing more kit: ATACMS, Western fighting vehicles (Leopards or Strykers or whatever), F16...

      Supposedly F16 pilots are already being trained. Poland alone could do it, but I believe the US has that as part of an aid package to train in the US.

    Intelligent and correct take and intelligent and correct strategy.
    Is it the most empathic strategy in the short term? No.
    Is it the most effective strategy for long term global security? Yes. It's best for long term global security if the geopolitical power of Russia is next to nothing. Russia is one of the most deranged states on Earth and if they have any power they use it to cause trouble. They've been cut low by this whole debacle, but not low enough to never be able to grow into any kind of problem ever again. Not yet.

      The US has many weapons on the verge of decommissioning (such as frickton of Bradleys). At this point, they would actually save money by gifting them to Ukraine instead of stockpiling them.

        Nah, when the US introduces a new upgrade - like Bradley mk xxxx or whatever - they pull old hulls from storage and upgrade them and then send the hulls currently in use into storage. This means you maintain a modern fleet both active and reserve and mothballed. Thats why they are hesitant to send stuff over, it would frick with they way they manage their armored fleets.

        The payoff for a protracted war is that ukies will get Crimea back too. If NATO just kicked Russia's ass they'd be at the negotiating table right away and no way Crimea makes it onto that table yet.
