My black pill theory for why the US and Russia allow the Ukraine war to drag on for so long is that both sides want a testing ground to accelerate the innovation of drone warfare.

Quite possible.

Why would Russia sacrifice their Slavic brothers? If it was Anglo-Saxons they are fighting maybe but sacrificing Slavs to test weapons doubt it!

Russia is a proxy for China weapons testing.

They’re already doing it in Palestine.

Ukraine has been fighting off attacks from Russia (aka the Golden Horde) that wants to take over Europe for hundreds of years. So the "problem" is not drones or the US.

It’s a good theory. But I like to follow the money trail… I think now is mainly momentum and Europe.

This is a typical USA centric interpretation of the situation. The primary stakeholders are the Europeans and they are quickly integrating Ukrainian innovations into the EU militaro-industrial complex.

Weapons field testing, demonstrations for new buyers, clear out old stock and pump up the weapon industry to prepare for the next war.

1936 Spanish Civil War, both Nazis and Communists gave weapons and tactics to each side testing these new strategies on a large scale. Precursor to WWII, allowed fine tuning and changes to battle hardend weaponry. So yes Nato has been training Ukraine army a lot longer than most people know and test...

For the US your theory would just be a part of the continuing strategy of feeding the military industrial complex not just about drones. It's the perfect war, the US gets to partake but no American soldiers are injured or killed and of course they get to experiment with new weapons.

The main reason for this war dragging on so long is that the actors financing and driving this war aren't using their own constituents/people to fight it out. In other words, western powers get to throw Ukrainian slaves (which are willingly sold by Zelensky and his goons) into the fire without havin...

I recommend reading Seven Seconds to Die. It’s a decent precursor to this iteration of Ukraine/Russia. DOD has recognized Ukraine is a canary for where mil med is at (re: LSCO and prolonged field care/protracted patient care) currently and how we’ve been spoiled by GWOT and the ability to shape ...

Yes, but it's mostly about laundering money. Developing new weapons and tactics comes second to the laundering money part.
