The Stupidity of Man
By Piri ·
Gilbert Doctorow claims Russia is losing the war because Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, including the Kapotnya refinery supplying 40% of Moscow’s fuel, create shortages and expose Russian vulnerability. Scott Ritter counters that Russian forces continue advancing in Donbas by killing more Ukrainian troops and occupying ground, and that the attacks cause only limited disruption without threatening regime survival or forcing capitulation.
