Saw a very interesting commentary/interview of (Russian commentator) Uri Orlov on ‘The Duran’ program in which when asked when the Special Military Operation might end he answered that Russia is in no hurry because 1) they can avoid taking casualties as much as they can by proceeding slowly and methodically and,
2) if they keep the war going they continue demilitarizing the collective West and gaining intelligence on Western machinery and electronic warfare measures. They don’t want to smash the West and Ukraine all at once and have them lose face in catastrophic defeat, thereafter to rebuild better. More interestingly, he opines Russia wants to keep the flow of Western arms coming to Ukraine as a kind of ultimate Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Ukraine: proving ground with real battlefield conditions to test Western equipment against their own. And they have been learning and getting results.
Great insights and points of view from Orlov.

Possible case in point:
Article about US cancelling the sending of a GPS guided artillery shell to Ukraine because it doesn’t work (anymore?). Maybe because Russia learned? Thank you for playing USA.
