Sunday fact: Russia has sustained at least 1.4 million casualties in the war with Ukraine. In fact, that’s 50 percent more than the US in all of WW2 on two fronts liberating and occupying the world. Russia now controls less land than they had one month into the invasion. Slava Ukrainii!

Silly leaders, Trump and Putin. Listen to your military leadership and for the love of God, have a clear determinable objective. This is like SOS/ACSC stuff!

As much as I like to celebrate Putin's losses and humiliation. That is far too many dead and wounded for just one delusional narcissist's ego. Hopefully the Russian people will finally depose their tyrant after this. Hopefully the American people will depose our tyrant before it gets to this.

He is the physical embodiment of fascism. Something inherently broken and inevitably doomed to die, but causing horrible damage to all around it every day until it does.

Europe's leaders need to join Poland and get their defense spending up to at least 4% (then get a jump on NATO targets for 2035 (5%). And while they bicker over Euros, they should start sending troops and hardware to Ukraine. Their lack of engagement there is shameful.

Another fact...the Russian war against Ukraine has now lasted longer than WW1. So much for the 3 day special military operation...and Russians are now on strict gas rations as their economy craters.

Putin is definitely doing a bang-up job for his people… bsky.app/profile/mari...

Central Bank of Russia Governor Nabiullina is missing. Reports indicate that, due to plans to shift to a mobilization economy with martial law and border closures, she is preparing to resign in protest and has hidden from public view. The economic nosedive just went supersonic.

yea, the US didn't "liberate the world," and we were reluctant to do anything at all. and look at us now. sorry, just tired of pretending we were ever the hero at this point.

I wore my sunflower dress I call my Ukraine dress to a local rally. I wore it to celebrate Ukraines successes. They remind me of Americans 1776. May it also remind them to learn from our mistakes after 250 years when they write their Constitution to prevent a trump.

How many of Russian casualties are actually Russians? (My assumption is that casualties from client states aren't listed in Russia as Russian casualties (are they listed at all, or as a separate entry?)...

I hit the heart button but rescinded it. I cannot love a tragedy of this magnitude. I want to see a peaceful and united Ukraine join the EU and thrive. And I want the carnage to end

Unfortunately the only language Russia understands is violence. They have to suffer sufficient losses to get the message, thats the only route to a secure, peaceful Ukraine.

I do not pretend to know how Russians think, nor do I know what ordinary Russians want. But all this dead men are someone’s son, or husband, or father. It is a personal tragedy written over and over as long as evil old men are in charge.

Feel bad for all those Russian men that didn’t leave Russia in time. Or the men in prison for some stupid offense that they throw people into prison for and ended up in that meat grinder. The horror.
