A peaceful constructive happy solution needs to be instituted.
Well...
Welcome to FR 2021 Russia boot-licker!
Not to mention 20 million civilians.
Hopefully with great success.
If we see Putin start expanding his censorship of the internet, that may be a sign that high casualties in the Ukraine invasion are becoming a problem for him and he is trying to limit knowledge of them by the Russian people.
As I noted in another thread, high casualties could prompt protests in Russian cities in greater numbers than the security services could handle.
Tweets about number of dead Russians. Yup, seems legit
Many more Ukrainians than Russians by percentage died during WWII.
They were reported dying with Covid diagnosis
The propaganda is getting piled higher and deeper.
Also, the pro-Putin media in Russia has flooded Russia with propaganda selling the idea that Ukraine is a captive nation of people yearning to unite with mother Russia but under the control of a group of Nazis paid by the USA.
Russian soldiers who have heard only this message may be thinking the invasion is going to be little more than a walkover and morale may take a hit when they realize they were misled.
The Civil War.
Putin so wants to believe that his military is a rival to ours, but:
*Total US deaths in the Gulf War - 154
*Total US deaths in the invasion period of the Iraq War - 77
If the 350 number is anywhere close to reality, the Russian armed forces are vastly less capable than ours.
Unfortunately lives have been lost in ukraine.
The number of deaths is beginning to approach the Clinton body count, but still remains less than the NY nursing home covid death count
There was public pushback against losses in the Chechen wars.
Sorry facts got in the way of your delusions, neocon

I agree, sounds like sunshine pumping.
With a name like “Election Wizard” you know it must be solid information.
The Solzhenitsyn Solution— make them pay for every incursion on the populace, so they never know if they will survive a “mission” by being slaughtered by militia and undercover operatives. RESIST— for real, not hitlery’s moronic mumblings. We need to finance them— somehow.
Quote: “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
Thinking there is Mossad in secret— they trained these brave fighters.
