Russia only sent in 10% of its troops. Not a Russia phob, but the western propaganda is ridiculous. As a US citizen, Russia and the Eukraine can kill them selves. Why do Joe and Hunter care, that’s something that needs an answer. Then also why does the US media care so much? Great coverage of the continued murders of the white South African farmers, beyond disgusting.
My post above stands......... the Russian army looks like a clown show. Russia always has “more bodies” for war, but their prosecution of this conflict has been shockingly bad.
80,000 dead Russian soldiers? Highly doubtful. 🙄
I don’t have a “side” as this seems to be defined around here as rooting for Putin or rooting for the Ukrainian comedian, but ask yourself one question.....
Is Putin growing stronger or weaker the longer this conflict draws out?
If he is growing weaker, which appears obvious and logical, why has he not committed more forces to decisively end the conflict?
That 10% is 80% of Russian combat forces. Bulk of Russian troops are non-combat, support. Also, remember to exclude the navy personnel and air force.

The ruskies lost 22,000,000 killed in WWII... Mostly in what is now Ukraine...
Why should 80,000 bother them?
Obviously he is very concerned. His time is being spent with China and other obligations. We shall see.There is no way Eukraine will stand against Russia. That would be similar to Mexico vs the US. Yet the US in its proxy war is arming the Eukraine. What are the BIdens hiding?
Russia has a population of 146 million, Ukraine about 41 million, or about 28% the size of Russia. So if Russia sent only 10% of its army, it would be potentially outnumbered by about 3-to-1. Are you telling us that Putin and his general staff was really that stupid?!?! 😂
“We may never know the truth.”
Well we know for a certainty that it’s been 6 months and “superpower” Russia still can’t plant its flag on the capitol of “***hole” Ukraine. That much we do know.
Always love to see your “Kazan’s Cope of the Day™” posts. Keep ‘em coming, they are hilarious!
Ruskies in WW2 were fighting for the life of their country, like the Ukrainians now. In WW2 NKVD used Barrier Troops to stop desertions. What is their incentive now?
The concept was re-introduced on a large scale during the Second World War.[5] On June 27, 1941, in response to reports of unit disintegration in battle and desertion from the ranks in the Soviet Red Army, the 3rd Department (military counterintelligence of Soviet Army) of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the Soviet Union (NKO) issued a directive establishing mobile barrier forces composed of NKVD personnel to operate on roads, railways, forests, etc. for the purpose of catching "deserters and suspicious persons".[6][7] With the continued deterioration of the military situation in the face of the German offensive of 1941, NKVD detachments acquired a new mission: to prevent the unauthorized withdrawal of Red Army forces from the battle line.[6][7] The first troops of this kind were formed in the Bryansk Front on September 5, 1941.
On September 12, 1941 Joseph Stalin issued the Stavka Directive No. 1919 (Директива Ставки ВГК №001919) concerning the creation of barrier troops in rifle divisions of the Southwestern Front, to suppress panic retreats. Each Red Army division was to have an anti-retreat detachment equipped with transport totaling one company for each regiment. Their primary goal was to maintain strict military discipline and to prevent disintegration of the front line by any means.[8] These barrier troops were usually formed from ordinary military units and placed under NKVD command.

“Putin is at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Meeting in the Uzbek city of Samarkand, where he met Xi Jinping of China, which has been in all the headlines. “
Except the summit started today and the attack on his motorcade was reported yesterday...
“Did Russia kick its special forces operators to the curb for refusing vaccinations and pull range time in favor of pronoun usage training?”
No, they just dropped them behind enemy lines without support to get slaughtered :D
So population size equates military size? Putin according to reports only sent in 180k troops. Russia has a documented force of over 1.2 million troops. They apparently are really concerned.
Losses incurred defending your country from destruction are quite a bit different than losses incurred in a conflict that your President started and doesn’t even want to admit that he is waging.
A whole lot of generals, colonels, business guys, former commissars, and many more became rich with the money Putin was supposed to have been spending on the Rodina’s military. Aside from nukes the Russian military is a true Potemkin Village. But Puti and his friends have gotten incredibly rich. Daddy Warbucks rich.
This can’t be true..no bomb shell.
Not happening. Business Insider is a very left wing site and this article is BS.
