[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we had another world war, I question whether it would involve a lot of ground troops.

I think the bigger question is if we have enough drone pilots or warhead maintenance engineers or whatever.

The US has facilitated Ukraine staying in this war with Russia primarily through giving them technology and heavy weaponry that makes it easier to fight with a smaller force. Meanwhile Russia is bribing people to join the military with huge bonuses (or getting help from North Korea). [b]The reason Russians are tolerating this war so well, other than the fact that Putin will jail them or kill them if they vocally oppose it, is that Russians don't perceive the loss of life as tragic[/b] because most of the soldiers signed up in exchange for big cash bonuses to them and their families. So they've created a kind of mercenary military and the view of other Russians is "oh well that's what they signed up for."[/quote]
Putin is using the illiterate, poor, rural, ethnic minorities as cannon fodder, that's why the Russian people are tolerating the war. [/quote]
