it should now be increasingly clear to everyone that the war will not be decided on the front lines.  the russians only have the resources to fight intensely in small villages and open landscapes, not in larger cities. kurakhove hasnt even been captured yet, and the russians mechanized brigades are running low on vehicles and fuel. this brings us to a topic that is rarely reported in the media: the fact that the abrams tanks we have are useless.  they are, of course, among the worlds best tanks, but they are not designed for the type of warfare we are currently engaged in.  they have essentially become outdated due to drone advancements.  first, we had javelins, which with their $50,000 warheads could destroy a $2 million tank.  now, we have $500 drones that can do the same.  furthermore, the abrams is designed for warfare with strong air support, not for solo attacks. the battles in kursk demonstrate what is needed: a mobile and flexible unit capable of attacking, retreating, repositioning, and attacking again.  for this, we need fast vehicles, aerial drones, ground-based missiles, and communication/surveillance capabilities. the war will be decided on the economic and political stage.  one country to keep an eye on now is turkey.  quietly, they have been working to expel russian forces from certain areas while strengthening their own influence, giving them a strong grip on the kremlin.  this has likely already been noticed by the incoming u.s. administration.
