Feeling The Love
Introduction After my last poem, I know I have to let friends know that I am in a good place because I have a wonderful Muse who inspires me and raises my spirits every day. I thought I would try another pantoum, but maybe that is just because I am very lazy when I write poetry.

At what point will Russia no longer have military equipment available?
Reports suggest that Russia is losing armored personnel carriers (APCs) at an alarming rate of around 80 per month. π·πΊπ₯ The true extent of Russia's equipment losses remains unclear, with varying estimates from different sources. The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) suggests that Russia lost around 3,000 armored fighting vehicles in 2023 alone. ππ Some sources are out here claiming that Russia's pretty much out of tanks, artillery, and armored combat vehicles. Others, like Global Firepower (GFP), are like, "Nah, they've got plenty more where that came from." π€¦ββοΈπ₯± But let's get real β Russia's definitely lost a ton of equipment in Ukraine. We're talking anywhere from a third to 70% of their tanks, and don't even get me started on their artillery units. It's not looking good, folks. π€π₯Ά The real question is, can Russia replace all this lost equipment fast enough to keep up with the war? Well, apparently, their tank factories aren't exactly producing out new ones at the speed of light. πβ³ Some analysts predict that Russia could run out of tanks within the next two to three years if the current rate of losses continues. The condition of Russia's stored equipment is also a concern, with many tanks exposed to the elements and potentially unusable. π€β To address the equipment shortage, Russia has ramped up military hardware production and refurbished older tanks. However, the effectiveness of these measures remains uncertain, as production numbers are often not disclosed, and older equipment may become increasingly useless. π€·ββοΈπ΅οΈββοΈ Russia has also turned to foreign sources for equipment, with reports of Chinese components being found in Russian weapons and North Korea supplying missile shells. Iran has also allegedly provided drones and other military supplies to Russia. πΆπ€ But even with all this foreign help and digging through their old stash, Russia might not be able to keep up with the losses. As time goes on, they might be stuck with some seriously outdated gear. Not a good look. ππ So, how long can Russia keep this up? Well, it's anyone's guess at this point. Some say they've got enough in the reserves to last another year or more, while others think they'll be running on empty sooner than that. π€¬β³

Welcome to my new series, a weekly blog on whatβs inspiring me. I spent much of last week in bed with a stomach bug. Iβll spare you the details of thatβbut in addition to the grotesque physical symptoms, I had some fever dreams I wonβt soon forget. Imagine my surprise to see Vocalβs newest challenge: Write a fiction story about a recurring dream or nightmare.

Gimme that Eton mess! Nice entry, Mike π
We often had fresh strawberries with sugar & cream for dessert. And yes, it was yum!
It is so uncanny that Dharr and I like and not like the same things. I too love ice cream but not strawberries. I should have written about ice cream with raisins, bananas and lots of other nuts. But I could try that picture of ice cream and strawberries above, looks so yummy.
I'm not a fan of strawberries but I loveeeeee ice cream! Such a yummy poem!
Yum yum!!! Love this one!!!πβ€οΈβ€οΈ
