Reply to comment by bombmk in Ukraine calls for faster weapons supplies as Russia presses eastern offensive by redcccp

Yeah that's a good point. I like the slow boil analogy around the nuclear issue.

I still think that the wearing down of an adversary can't easily be discounted as a motive.

Sure, that argument does not disprove that there are other motives.

But I have yet to see someone make a convincing argument supporting the idea that Russia losing slowly is more effective than them losing fast. A retreat would be a political nightmare for Putin.
