This is not a war ever seen before. In the history of mankind, never before have both sides had excellent satellite imagery.

What this means is large troop movements aren’t going to happen. There is little or no hand to hand stuff going on. There will be little or no guerilla urban warfare. There does not need to be.

The loss of electricity is powerful. From the Wiki . . . . wow, in May of this year I scoped out Ukraine’s locomotive inventory and found electric - 1,627, diesel - 301. Those numbers are nowhere to be found, now. The rail gauge does not match the EU norm so you can’t just send new locomotives because they won’t fit. Surprising data loss.

Regardless, this is a long range war. What people are wearing isn’t going to matter.

This is related to a white paper analysis I saw several years ago about military careers and the purpose of war. War is fought to impose will on the enemy. The military fights and glory equates to officer promotions. Imposing will on the enemy without manifestation of glory is a very new thing in warfare.

If you embargo oil from a country, food cannot move. People starve. The last thing you want to do as a commander is kill enemy troops. You want them consuming food so it runs out faster. Then you get surrender — without glory.

This will happen with loss of electricity. Water can’t pump. Sewage can’t exit.
