This would be THE reason I have stated the West sitting around twiddling thumbs is playing into Putin's hand. Solely on defense, one is perpetually on defense. Might not lose but you aren't going to win. Meanwhile, Putin has time to completely re-tool his country to a wartime industry. His goal has not changed.

Not to mention we have done absolutely nothing about depleting our arms and munitions while giving a lot away. Contrary to the belief of some, our industry is not on a wartime footing and it will take years to bring it up to speed. Especially the way Biden has dismantled it.
