> and i often wonder what it's like when a country runs out of money in the midst of a war. does the tempo slow down, then stop? does it just stop all at once? their offensive potential slowly degrades as their existing stockpiles of key weapons and equipment are expended, though once entirely on the defensive they can probably stagger on for a while before suddenly shattering once things start to well and truly run dry. it's also worth noting that russia's materiel losses for things like armoured vehicles are running significantly higher than their capacity to produce new vehicles and their stockpiles of old refurbish-able soviet vehicles are running very low, so even without running out of money they're going to start running into some very serious problems if the war somehow drags on for another year or so.
