Two years ago the MSM said that the Russian military would freeze in their tanks. Not realizing that it gets cold in Russia.

In the meantime, Ukraine has lost nearly 500,000 dead. That small of population can't stand to lose that amount of their most healthy men.

Russia may have lost the same, but Russia's population is at least 10 times larger than Ukraine's.

Finally, say what you want about Putin, he's a bad man. But, Zelensky is a cross-dressing, Jew. He really isn't Ukrainian. He was installed. So be it.

See my post #8, Parmy.

Are you claiming that Ukraine has lost “nearly” 500,000 military KIA in this war?

Answer the question.

Wait, I thought Putin was near death.

It is unconscionable what these evil people have done. People like Biden, Lindsey Graham cheering on young to their brutal, worthless end. Rah, rah, send more money to Zelenskyy! Putin bad!

Simply unconscionable.

I thought it rather odd and lacking in historical context that Russia would start a campaign during the early spring of 2020. Europe has a history of campaigning in early spring weather which is exacerbated by soil conditions compounded the weight of heavy equipment now in use by armies in the field.

True to historical example, equipment was bogged down in the mud.

Russia isn't the USSR anymore...today it's appr. 145 million Russians vs 37 million Ukranians. Still a factor of ~4 though.

People mostly don't realize how few Russians there are when they look at the size of the territory. Of course, much of the eastern regions will soon(*) be Chinese.

(*)give or take a few decades - Russia vs China is where your factor of 10 is.
