Another possibility. It obviously needs more context. Whatever’s going on, I don’t think he’s talking about his master’s unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation-state, which is what everyone else knows it is.

Yeah, as the 2 other tweet said: It doesn’t need to be. Russia will run out of tanks and aircraft before we run out of Javelins and Stingers. Plus British NLAWs and other AA systems.
Now they will need artillery and planes to do offenses if they hope to take back the East. It will be more difficult to fight the Russians if they are dug in in defensive positions.
The coming months is going to be hard on Ukraine

Unless some other bad actor with tanks (China, North Korea) starts acting badly. Then, yes, it’s a problem.

The linked article says:
The bottom line is that the Russians are not going to run out of armored vehicles anytime soon.

True, but the combined arsenal of NATO still has it beat.
I am sure they are keeping an eye on having a comfortable reserve. Just like Putin has kept a large amount of the military out of the direct fight, so they have something for a possible NATO counter attack.
And yes, the US will have to tool up some to replenish supply. So will others. Russia, on the other hand, will have a much harder time replacing vehicles and aircraft in a timely manner.
In conclusion, yes the West has enough to sustain supplying Ukraine. I’d worry about lack of trained Ukrainian fighters before I worried about lack of weapons. (Something the article mentions on the Russian side.)

Nobody wants to believe that their friends and loved ones would be capable of such things when sent off to war.

And, of course, it is entirely possible that the particular soldier they are thinking of wouldn’t and didn’t do anything unlawful. After all, there were plenty of people in the Wehrmacht who didn’t commit any war crimes and treated civilians and PoWs fairly, too.
Doesn’t change anything about the moral guilt of those militaries for the numerous war crimes they committed.

my imagined diplomatic response:
well, to be fair, we’re convinced now too.
previously we’d have thought attacking russia wouldn’t have done much damage. but now, having seen the slipshod ramshackle nature of it’s army and equipment - we agree. yes, any attack would have been crushing
not that anyone was going to attack mind you. that’s a different question…
