Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Your whole reasoning seems to be based on this idea that western support can/will wither but doesn't question whether Russia can stay as long as that would take. Every concern about ammo stockpiles, about political pressure/public willingness, about money to fund the thing are equally concerns of Russia's, if not more so because they are directly involved in it. They couldn't last ten years of low level war in Afghanistan. Can they last two of a high level where the body bags are coming back in their thousands and thousands? That certainly remains to be seen. If the vaunted Ukrainian counteroffensive fails, Russia have little to no ability to significantly push forward, so negotiations would not happen directly afterward. And if Russia has the ability to magic millions/billions more rounds of ammunition up in quick time, then so do NATO countries.

How can you say things have worked out well with the moskovytes war of attrition. The moskovytes have lost tens of thousands of troops and thousands of a varity of types of military equipment. This moskovyte invasion of Ukraine can not be charaterised as anything but an ongoing disaster for moskovyte forces.

The only thing that can stop the moskovytes I would say is not just a collapse from within as you say but also a physical demolition of their military in Ukraine as is ongoing.

I don't know the source of your count on the moskovyte rounds in stock but sources I have seen have pointed out the use of moskovyte artillery has been reduced recently and as well as the destruction of their artillery systems this is very likely to be due to issues with their stocks with large stockpiles destroyed by Ukrainian missile strikes over the last few months.

Time is not standing still but as I said already this is an existential conflict for Ukraine and they are not going to just stop and let the moskovytes destroy their country.

I think a lot of this trench building by the moskovytes will be revealed to be a pointless pastime to keep the troops sent to Ukriane distracted from drinking vodka for a while and not prove much of an obstacle for a well organised Ukrainian offensive but even if it yields results that are not as dramatic as some might hope the AFU will not simply give up after the first attempt to free their country from moskovyte oppression.

You are misunderstanding both sources. There is large consensus among EU citizens.

Individual countries, e.g. Bulgaria, Serbia have always shown middling support, the average across Europe is high (taking into account everyone)

How has attrition worked out well for Russia? Are they in Kyiv? No. Have they taken the whole of the Donbas? No. Have they even taken the whole of Bakhmut, after throwing god knows how much at it for the better part of a year? No. This is nothing like where they expected to be a year into this. Frankly, I think Putin expected to have a pencil holder made of Zelenskyy's head by this time and for all mentions of Ukraine to be edited from Russian history books.

The iron rain that seemed like it would enable the Russians to slowly grind its way westward last summer has ceased. This will be a clue to what Russian shell stocks are and would be a microcosm of its ammo situation as a whole. A country that has to go cap in hand to Iran and North Korea and is taking the mothballs off of WW2 era tanks is not one that could be said to be doing terrifically on the ammo and equipment fronts.

And if NATO must hold some ammunition in reserve, then so must Russia. After all, it has much territorial interest to maintain apart from its ambitions within Ukraine.

And if we look at the political situation in Russia, you have bloggers blowing up and open bickering between factions of its military. It is the case in dictatorships like Russia that dissent is ruthlessly suppressed. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, though. That means it is driven underground. You won't see the real cracks until it is far too late for Putin.

While Putin may be willing to fling any number of Russian bodies at Ukraine, the Russian bodies themselves are not uniformly willing to be flung.

Are the Russians not able to access that massive ammo dump in Moldova or is it just unusable junk waiting to be safely decommissioned?

No, it's more like Irish Americans calling themselves Irish.

Must be a slow day when people are debating polls. I'm sure people loose interest when there's a lul on the battlefield. If the Ukrainian counter offensive makes key gains, you will see more support. I'd say it's hard for some Americans to fully back Ukraine when they don't see gains on the battlefield etc...

Anyways, you can pretty much see Russia have gained very very little territory in the past 12 months. Their 'winter/spring offensive' was a flop.

Look at the actual population numbers I posted. 4 times the population is also wrong just like the 5 times you tried to post initially. From what I can see besides having a larger stock pile of out of date military equipment the only thing larger for the moskovytes side invading Ukraine is the land area they control is larger than any other country even before they have decided they needed to cease more at the price of killing thousands and making millions homeless in a country that they agreed by treaty not to attack. The numbers of anti tank weapons in Ukraine is multiples of the total number of tanks the moskovytes have, even including those that are hugely out of date and outclassed by more modern weapons so to say they are hoping to use up these weapons is similar to saying they are hoping to use up Ukrainian bullets by sending so many conscripts to run at their possitions. The moskovyte economy is starting to crumble and their ability to produce modern military equipment is now much reduced so I am really not convinced that this war of attrition strategy you think putin is doing so well with is going to help them avoid a dramatic defeat in Ukraine if not this year but in the not too distant future beyond that.
