Only one thing, does Russia really have any operational tanks from 50 years ago... or anything for a land war?
Russia is fielding T-55 tanks in Ukraine. This is on top of early model T-72s which are 50 years old and T-60s which were last updated in the 80s.
Even worse, Russia has been pulling tanks from storage in a desperate attempt to replace the thousands which have been destroyed, captured, or are unrecoverable, and those stocks appear to be running out. Analysis suggests at current destruction rate, Russia will not be able to replace all lost tanks by 2026. They only produce about 500 tanks a year, including refurbishing from stock, but are currently losing 50 - 60 each month. Do the math.
I'm reading that they are really stretched thin, the idea of that fat American gangster suggesting a ceasefire, is just a cherry on top, because they are running on fumes. No?
Yes. The Russian asset in the White House wants to get a ceasefire so he can give his Russian master breathing room. If Putin can't "win", then it's an embarrassment to the orange goon because he looks up to him. Witness how Zelensky gets blamed for starting the war or told to be more grateful, yet when Russia attacks Kyiv with missiles all that's said is, "Not necessary, and very bad timing." Or when Russia attacked Sumy on Palm Sunday the response was, "They made a mistake. I believe it was — look, you’re gonna ask them,.
The ceasefire is needed to allow Russia to replenish itself. As of now, Russia, which supposedly had the second largest army in the world, has to rely on Iran, China, and especially North Korea to sustan the war. NK has sent over 15,000 containers of munitions to Russia because Russia cannot produce enough and Ukraine keeps hitting ammo depots and locations which produce ammunition. This is in addition to both North Korea and China sending troops to fight for Russia.
