- mensetmanusman 5y agoIt’s interesting because the U.S. has an order of magnitude more military funding and was trying to secure a supply line an order of magnitude longer. I wonder if this ratio makes it approximately as difficult?
- pixl97 5y agoThere are plenty of sayings along the lines of "America doesn't have military, they have a logistics corporation" Supplying enough "X" is rarely an issue for the USM except in the cases where it is something new they didn't realize they needed.

- jker 5y agoThe US has established bases all over the globe and has basically created a worldwide supply chain for its military, so that isn’t really a factor. (Please note, this isn’t being said in an anti-American way.)
- akimball 5y agoRussian military morale is so low it's almost a non-force. You see them unloading into chicken farms and monuments rather than fighting. They are running out of fuel all over the place - probably because they sold it. The corruption in the Russian military is vast and intense.
