@exexpat19 @marson_jr: Yes, and even a smaller mobilization probably wouldn't present serious political risks to him. The question is what level of offensive operations are sustainable, and that is hard to predict. But they clearly have enough forces to keep attacking despite the losses in Avdiivka.

@UnderCupboards @exexpat19 @marson_jr: Russia made numerous serious blunders in 2022, and it was certainly possible those would continue in 2023. But we wrote in December 2022 that Ukrainian offensives in 2023 would probably be more difficult because the conditions would be less favorable.

@EHunterChristie @exexpat19 @marson_jr: Yes, I agree. Harder to predict what 2025 or 2026 could look like, but Russia will have advantages in 2024.

RT @JackDetsch: The U.S. Army is building three 155mm projectile metal parts lines in Texas: Pentagon statement.
All three lines are planned to be in operation and producing 30,000 projectile shell bodies per month – but it depends on funding from national security supplemental.
