Ukraine is 43 million people. If half are male, and only 10% were military eligible, thats still 2 million capable defenders.

Reports are that a minimum of 8 million have fled the country.

It’s still a huge number regardless, given the size of Ukraine.

According to the article, since June, 54,000 have died or 2.7% of your 2 million estimate. Do you think we would still be sending military aid to Ukraine had 2.7% of our Senators and Representatives been killed in the war since June?

Capable of driving tanks and armored vehicles, flying planes, operating radar systems, maintaining and repairing a multitude of “donated” weapon systems? To command units in battle?

Ukraine may be able to replace tanks and armor, but the losses of its experienced people will take months, even years. You think the guys being ordered into the minefields and trenches can just wait?

This article quotes the success of a particular Uke brigade whose contraband social media has already released videos begging for support, for someone to come save them. No one is coming. Except maybe raw conscripts kidnapped off the streets or even in their homes and businesses by conscription squads.
