Russia has been engaged in attritional warfare. That much you have correct.

It is sheer lunacy to suggest that attritional warfare is ever a sound strategy.

It was lunacy when Field Marshal Haig used it at the Battle of the Somme.

It was lunacy when the Russians tried it in the Brusilov Offensive.

It has been lunacy for Russia today. It has cost Russia dearly in blood. It has cost Russia dearly in treasure. It will continue to cost Russia in both.

Europe and NATO have been willing to sacrifice Ukraine in order to, as former Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated bluntly early on, "grind down" the Rusisan military.

Just because Ukraine has not won is an irrational basis for presuming Russia will win. For Ukraine and Russia alike the prognosis is war without victory.
