Great news! Russia eliminated a huge container ship Shiu Spirit with Panama flags cared weapon in Ilichevsk port in Ukraine tried to supply that weapon to the Ukrainian nazis.
Russia has lost 2/3 of its tanks, 32 ships, and over 600,000 soldiers, more than all losses in all conflicts since WWII put together.* I hope it was worth it. I am sure it was to Putin. He does not give a shit about Russian peasants.
* This includes Afghanistan, the loss of which led to the downfall of the Soviet Union.
I'm going to assume the roughly 600,000 estimated casualties for Russia & 32,000 Ukrainian troops is false, and call it twice as bad for Ukraine, so 10-1 ratio. Just a gut call, I wouldn't put money on it. ( But it's safe to assume the Biden* Regime lies )
That doesn't count over 200,000 Ukrainian Civilian casualties, or the Kursk salient, and the unknown dead Russian Civilians in the Russian occupied Ukraine.
Even if you go with the lower number for Ukraine's soldiers ( 20-1 ) it's obvious that Putin targets Civilians in violation of ethical rationalization.
But, Hoot is absolutely right, Putin cares very little about the peasants. It's simple fear of revolution that kept him, so far, from mobilizing the ethnic Russians near the Capitol and throw them into the meat grinder he created.
Plus, of course, he'll need that untrained reserve to throw at the inevitable Chinese invasion, date tbd. The clash of the 2 largest mass oriented armies, with callous disregard for killing peasants, would be the most bloody abittoir since the trenches of France in The Great War.
The only question is when. And the trigger is uncertain, but I'd bet Siberian oil and the potential Iranian counter revolution.
I agree that Russia should use nuclear weapon to reduce the losses but Putin loves people too much otherwise Russia would erase the nazis supporters long time ago.
But the good thing is Russia does not care what you fantasize about their losses. And just like during the American Revolutionary War the eastern republics fight for their freedom.
I know you hate Russia helps them to gain their freedom just like you hated when people in Crimea got better life when they left Ukraine and joined Russia but Russia does not care as long as you do not support the Ukrainian nazis. If you support the Ukrainian nazis, well, prepare your anus.
Meanwhile the Ukrainian nazis keep wasting the best resources in Kursk region with no success and Russia keeps demilitarysation of Ukraine. Just like I said you can use any resources and money and all those resources and money will be waisted for nothing because of Russia will always respond accordingly.
