They lose about 1200 lives everyday. Currently, they are approaching a total of 1,000,000. Yes, that's one million lives lost after three years - for NOTHING, but one man's ego.

No one knows for certain but it’s believed Russia has lost roughly 200,000 soldiers so far. They still have roughly 1.2 to 1.5 million active & reserve soldiers left, and a couple million more active age men they can just pull up through conscription.

If modern "kings" had to lead troops into actual battle as they did in the days of old, there would be no more war with the cowardly authoritarians of today, such as Putin and Trump. Instead they're happy to sacrifice their "subjects" while they project themselves as strong men.

"No matter where; of comfort no man speak: Let’s talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs; Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth, Let’s choose executors and talk of wills: And yet not so, for what can we bequeath Save our deposed bodies to the ground?"

Oh yeah. And I fucking love the fact that they are throwing their people at defensive lines in stupidity. Their "war of attrition" by throwing personnel at the front is culling their own people, which is good for the rest of the world.

The serial philandering, lying, raping, racist, 34X convicted, pussy grabbing, draft dodging, tax cheating, document stealing, porn star banging, orange maggoty, illiterate, Russian asset is going to pout like mad if his parade isn't bigger.

Russia has suffered so much loss. WW2. Then I recall in the 80tys reading about people freezing to death soldiers not being paid and having to eat dog food because the country was in such a struggle. And now this. To much hardships and which a government that doesn't all a freedom.

Based on these figures, approximately 4,500 Russian soldiers are killed or wounded every three days. It’s important to note that these numbers include both fatalities and injuries, and exact figures may vary depending on the source and reporting methods. -Wiki

I don't think it's "nuts" to want to see reparations for the harms done to Ukrainians. But history shows that reparations can only be exacted from fully defeated enemies who've fallen apart so badly that they're unable to pay reparations. Unless Russia collapses utterly, Ukraine has to compromise ☹️

If you've wondered how many people Musk will eventually kill by his gov't sanctioned actions via DOGE, per The Guardian: "An estimated 25 million people could die in the next 15 years thanks to Doge. Such carnage only makes sense if you don’t consider those lives worth living." RFK's toll: ???

theguardian.comMaga’s era of ‘soft eugenics’: let the weak get sick, help the clever breedAt the heart of all Trump administration policies is ‘soft eugenics’ thinking – the idea that if you take away life-saving services, then only the strong will survive

Their inability to ultimately win this conflict is badly underappreciated. Russia's strategic position will inevitably worse after this blunder than it was before it; and Ukrainian nationality and independence supercharged by Putin's foolish war.

Putin is being his ass handed to him by the Ukraines. His perceived "walk in the park" against Ukraine - has transformed into "walk in hell" for him & his miserable military.

I remember when there was hand wringing over the casualties in the Iraq war. There was a website that kept track and I would visit it often to see how many and how they were killed. When it approached 5,000 everybody was freaked out, Russia loses that in about 4 days. So many civilians killed too

A lot of them had no medals either, probably indicating that they are fresh people ready to be sent to the front soon. Also, a lot of the troops on the parade werent even Russian. Maybe they were invited to boost the numbers as none of them were nations that fought nazis.

I can't figure out how that country can keep up with new recruits to fill the openings. And where are the families who are losing so many husbands, brothers etc.? We see nothing of them. As if this entire loss of life is okay with them. And I get that news is suppressed but still...

This (plus tanks and missiles, etc.) is what the Orange Turd is envisioning for his unwarranted and unaffordable parade, including a gargantuan picture of himself.

2,000 - 3,000. Every 3 days. Almost 1,000 per day. Since the war started over 3 years ago, that’s roughly 1,000,000, although likely more killed and injured considering Russia understates the true numbers.

I’m starting to believe that Russian mothers care a little less for their sons than the rest of the world Like, it’s a cultural norm to watch your boy incinerated in a tank with other Russian sons At this point, the Russkies can’t just claim “authoritarian oppression” ‘cos it seems like a choice

I so wish that the Russians had free access to accurate information so that they could hear/read/see this stark visual of what their "leader" is doing to their fellow Russians.

Biden/Trump never gave Ukraine enough for victory; only enough to stay afloat. In contrast, the U.S. GIVES Netanyahu, a war criminal, unlimited billions. Why? ARPAC lobbyists own both parties. Citizens United was the beginning of the end of our Republic. Neither side is against unlimited 💰.

How does Russia even have any armed forces left at this point? Nearly a million losses... if that were the U.S., it would account for almost 3/4 of ALL active duty service members. And we have a bigger military than Russia...

A nation full of poor and desperate people, men, who are willing to sign a contract simple to feed their family. Tricked, fooled, sent to the front as fodder to die. It's what the RusPublicans want for America.

Putin experts write that he believes conquering Ukraine is his right bc it is Russian. It will define his historical legacy on scale with Peter the Great. He is determined to do it. All peace negotiations are futile. Why tf don't politicians listen to experts? www.theguardian.com/world/2022/j...

theguardian.comPutin compares himself to Peter the Great in quest to take back Russian landsPresident draws parallel with tsar who waged war on Sweden and says campaign in Ukraine stems from ‘basic values’

America doesn't have a monopoly on culture wars or nationalism. Both Russia and America are, at least temporarily, saddled with leaders who are ONLY interested in permanent political control. For Putin it's a matter of survival. Trump hasn't gone quite that far. But give him time........

Outstanding! I don’t get why the Ukrainians want a cease-fire or talks. They must know it’s just a Putin trick. Keep bleeding them white. Attacking forces often suffer, disproportionate casualties.🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🇫🇷
