Quote: [The ISW also said that Russian commander Alexander Khodakovsky, who leads a battalion near Urozhaine, acknowledged on Aug. 13 that “Russia expended its resources too early in the war.”]
So firing 60,000 shells a day and wasting huge numbers of expensive missiles to blow up everything not a military target might be unwise and might after a year lead to shortages?
Who could have predicted this?
Just about everyone who is not in the Kremlin!
Right after mention in article of prematurely withdrawal because of drunken soldiers, this is written:
“One author attributed Russian defensive failures on the front to the dismissal of a unit commander, Major General Ivan Popov.”
Fitting name; quality of general probably about equivalent to the vodka.
It would be nice to get forward-deployed Russians thinking about their winter misery – supply routes interrupted and no rotation out of the soon-to-be-soupy trenches – if they manage to survive that long. Moral of the story: Better to surrender now, en masse

They’re now figuring that out?
