The war is won by logistics. It is simply a truism confirmed by history. 1 of the best examples to illustrate the importance of logistics is Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812. Napoleon's army has always struggled to supply troops with weapons, ammunition, uniforms, food for soldiers and horses. Prince Joseph Poniatowski warned Napoleon unsuccessfully against the invasion of Russia, claiming that he could not cope with the provision of troops in specified a vast area. Russia's defence strategy was very simple. The troops of the Napoleonic coalition into Russia were dragged in, the Cossacks successfully executed the operation of burnt land, destroying villages, cities, wells, cultivated fields, which caused not only the expansion of logistics routes but even the demolition of the supply chain. The Napoleonic Army was incapable to feed and dress. Horses pulling French artillery died from deficiency of feed. The army, to feed themselves, plundered everything. As a result, Napoleon's expedition to Russia ended in a gigantic disaster.
The civilian War in the United States is another perfect example that the wars win logistics. The economy of the Confederate States was based on agriculture, mainly on cotton and tobacco exports to England. The confederate state manufacture barely existed. The railway lines were underdeveloped. The South did not have a fleet that would be able to guarantee appropriate protection of shipping routes. The confederate Rebellion was doomed to failure at the time of the attack on Fort Sumter. The North effectively blocked the Confederate port, Generals Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman applied the brutal tactics of burnt land to the rebels, leading to a complete economical devastation of the states of the rebellious south. The effects of the full war against the Confederacy are felt in the south to this day.
The 3rd example is planet War II. The Germans exhausted by the First planet War and interior conflicts came to an overtime, completely ignoring logistics. Already in early 1943, the Germans had immense problems with food and clothing of their army. The war on the Atlantic, namely about breaking the supply chain from the US to England and Russia, was lost by Germany in 1943, as shown in the following illustration illustrating the losses of German submarines.
The main way of transportation of military aid to the russian Union under the Lend-Lease programme led through the Northern Pacific from Alaska to the ports of distant Siberia. The second most crucial way was the Persian Corridor, leading through the territory of the current Iran. Both of these routes were out of German reach. The following map perfectly illustrates the scale of deliveries to the russian Union during planet War II.
The German intellectual, political and military establishment, which pushed for war and started this war, completely ignored the problem of the occupied territories. The business state assumes all the duties of the conquered state. Germany had to take over the full administration of occupied territories, i.e. judiciary, civilian administration, wellness care, police, post office, railway, pensioners, all social burdens, and besides supply food for the occupied population. The burden on the occupier is unimaginable to the average man. prof. Czesław Łuczak described these problems very well in a book entitled Population and economical Policy of Nazi Germany in occupied Poland. With the German conquest of Europe, all these regular problems have intensified. The intellectual poorness of German national socialism was incapable to cope with the administration of conquered states. The moron does not realize the complexity and is incapable to meet its challenges. In desperation, they hotel to physical terror, as experienced during the business by Poles, Greeks, Russians and all another nations of occupied Europe. The same phenomenon occurred during the period of the Polish People's Republic, as was illustrated by Poznań 1956, Coast 1970, August 80 and the State of War 1981. delight note that the 3rd Reich elites came from akin environments to the PRL elites, mainly from social pits and impoverished mediate class. In both cases, socialism was the common denominator.
In early 1943 the Germans lost the war. The large 3rd Reich's barrier proved to be a nightmare for Germany. The Second planet War has shown that a large armed conflict, after 3 years, enters the full war phase due to the broadly understood logistics. This regulation of war occurred during the civilian War, the war on the Korean peninsula, the French war in Indochina, the American war in Vietnam, the Russian war in Afghanistan, and besides during the twenty-year American business of Afghanistan. The war in Ukraine is now reaching this three-year shoreline, hence the US and Russia have started peace negotiations.
Master Jacek Bartosiak in many of his interviews on peace negotiations between Russia and the US claims that president Trump will have a serious problem with the coercion of Ukraine, or, in fact, the Zelensky regime, to accept the provisions of Yalta II due to the fact that Ukraine has “levards of pressure” and is able to wage war with Russia for at least the following year. The opinion of Master Bartosiak has no coverage in reality.
The Ukrainian economy has been operating for years only thanks to extended US financial assistance. Without that drip, we would have witnessed a giant humanitarian disaster a decade ago. Without supplies of weapons and ammunition from the US and NATO states, the Ukrainian army would have nothing to fight. It's adequate for the U.S. to tighten both cocks and the war with Russia would end in 1 day.
The main logistics way supplying the Ukrainian army leads through Poland. Ports in Gdańsk and Gdynia play a key function in the supply chain of material assistance to Ukraine. Poland in this conflict is simply a logistical base for Ukraine. The second crucial way is Romania. The Americans have expanded the road and rail connection leading from the port of Constance to the border with Ukraine. That's what I wrote earlier. wrawo.plhttps://wrawo.pl/autostrada-moldavianka-road-ku-zaglad/ The Romanian supply way depends on the political situation in Romania and the good will of Turkey, which controls the Bosphorus Strait. The presidential crisis in Romania seriously threatened material supplies for Ukraine and required CIA and European Union intervention. The US and NATO states, especially Germany, are incapable to produce adequate ammunition of all caliber to proceed the war in Ukraine. The German Rheinmetall company is struggling to keep up with the production of 155 mm artillery shells. The U.S. besides faces serious problems with the production of primary artillery ammunition, as can be seen in many articles on this subject. (link https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2024/9/11/arms-manufacturers-catching-up-with-worlds-insatiable-need-for-155mm-rounds) Lockheed Martin has increased Patriot rocket production by 650 missiles a year, which is simply a drop in the sea of needs. The Ukrainian anti-aircraft defence strategy simply ceased to exist. Soldiers serving this strategy were incorporated into linear troops that are massacred by Russian artillery and glide 500 kg of air bombs against which there is no defense. Ukraine has absolutely no “pressurizing lefts” that Magister Bartosiak talks about. president Trump's administration must face very serious interior problems and simply cannot afford a devastating conflict in Ukraine. Russia, too, cannot afford to proceed dragging this scourge, which is simply a serious financial burden. Both Russia and the United States are looking for a satisfactory way out of this crisis. Poland's position is marginal and reduced to an American logistics base. A Europe without Russian gas and oil will sink even further into an economical collapse. It must be remembered that Europe's propulsion engine is Germany, whose industrial possible is simply rolling down after the US blew up the Nord Stream II pipeline. The Master Bartosiak's stories have the value of Lech Walesa's statements.
