RE: But they’ve still get two-thirds to work with ... and that ain’t bad!

Reminds me of this scene from the comedy, Dumb and Dumber I:

Lloyd Christmas ( played by Jim Carrey ):

Tell me, what are the chances of a girl like you and a guy like me... ending up together?

Mary Swanson: Not good.

Lloyd Christmas: Not good like one in a hundred?

Mary Swanson: I’d say more like one in a million.

Lloyd Christmas: So you’re telling me there’s a chance? YES!!!

And they’re doing quite well too, at least in Central Donbas, where most of the action is. Of course the Western media won’t bother with that part, since the $40B still has not yet been secured for their DNC friends.

No, a 33 percent loss is bad and not good.

If that number is accurate, the Russians are spent unless they have fresh reserves they can commit without having to worry about border security with some longtime adversary like, say, Red China.

Not really. A unit that has lost a third or more of it’s soldiers is severely handicapped and ceases to be an effective fighting force. Just combining units means that you throw men together that don’t know each other or how fight together.
