"...NATO might be ready for war, but is it ready for protracted war?
Any permutation of a serious Russia-NATO conflict that does not end quickly will become a clash of not just armies, but societies.
This becomes a competition in resilience and preparedness, industrial capacity and supply chains, magazine depth[1], logistics, mass, resources, and especially the “will to fight.”
The halting progress and ongoing challenges to increase defense spending, transform defense industrial capacity, address critical capability gaps, and bolster national resilience—all required to strengthen deterrence and defense..." j.w. CSIS /interlinie T.L./...

"...The crisis in Ukraine has been a colossal failure of analysis and of diplomacy, with plenty of blame to share on all aides. The main victims, alas, have been the unfortunate Ukrainian people. As I've written before, I think the United States and the West played a key role in causing the crisis, mostly by failing to anticipate that Russia was going to respond forcefully and vigorously to what its leaders regarded as a gradual attempt to incorporate Ukraine into the West. One need not approve of Russia's response to recognize that the United States should have seen it coming and thought more carefully about our interests and objectives beforehand.Since the collapse of the Yanukovych government, the United States and its allies have followed the usual playbook: ramping up sanctions and waiting for Moscow to cave and give us everything we want. Unfortunately, this view fails to recognize that Russia does have valid reasons to care about its border areas and still has cards to play. Sanctions are clearly hurting, but Putin probably anticipated them and has been willing to pay the price. In the meantime, sanctions aren't helping the sputtering European economy (see below), and Ukraine itself is going from bad to worse.
So my question is: Will someone get serious about real diplomacy, and make Putin an offer he's unlikely to refuse? Instead of building more bases in Eastern Europe, the United States and its allies should be working to craft a deal that guarantees Ukraine's status as an independent and neutral buffer state..." by Stephen M.

[1] "The concept of "magazine depth" refers to the stockpile of munitions and other expendables that a military force can draw upon during sustained operations. NATO must ensure it has sufficient reserves and the capacity to replenish these stocks continuously. This also involves strategic resource management and ensuring access to critical materials" - ChatGPT
