Supply of resources to throw at what he sees as this problem? >> i wouldn't describe it as endless, brianna. certainly he has numerical advantages. he has the ability to draw on more manpower than the ukrainians do. he has more aircraft available to him, he has more missileiles available to him. i will tell you this, while it is still a lot, he's about 75% or so of the combat power he once had that he still has. it is not like he's been depleted and it is not just about the stuff. it is about the skill and the organizational ability, the command and control, the ability to integrate ground and...

The actual man power right now, many people are estimating there's a one-on-one relationship between ukrainian forces and russian forces. the technology differences has been intense, with the russians having a five to one superiority in the air. but on the ground, some estimates now say the russians emitted 70% of their total combat power, and the ukrainians are fighting them to a standstill. the russians are now bringing in units, mobilizing conscripts, they're desperate for man power and bringing in mercenaries from chechnya and syria. i would be sort of optimistic that in the coming 30 day,...
