But then again, I don't think Putin was ever going to withdraw, as its really not that hard for him to keep sending people into the meatgrinder.
Also, Russian oil & gas still in high demand, and they don't seem to have an issue producing their own weapons.
The West missed the boat on this one. Big time.

It's not those countries vs. the West. It's Russia's massive Soviet stockpile of ammo vs. the US's pocket lint. That fact that Russia is relying on North Korea is an embarrassment for them, not a knock against the US's ability to produce weapons. The US has tons of weapons and ammo, they just don't want to compromise their own stocks in any way, nor are they willing to endure the economic impact of shifting industrial production away from consumer/commercial goods and more towards weapons for Ukraine.
