Decimated
—
Saturday, August 19, 2023, in the morning report to the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, the irretrievable military operational losses of manpower of the personnel of the RF Armed Forces are 267,418 people. Data as of 6:00 Moscow time today.
This figure, excluding data on the losses of Russian PMCs taking part in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, on Tuesday, August 1, is 76,192 dead.
Most of the Russian PMCs came under the control of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and their losses are now an integral part of the total losses, since August 1, a separate calculation has not been conducted.

“To decimate means to cut by 10%.”
That’s the historical meaning, yes.
The “collective west” thought that they would only have to maintain “the narrative” for a while until the Russian economy collapsed. It is equivalent to the Russians opening gambit in the Special Military Operation, they thought the Ukes would crumble. Not so and then had to retreat to a defensible line and mobilize.
The west is finding out that to militarily prevail they will have to mobilize. That will take years - think artillery production.
You think Poland and Ukrainians hate our guts? Why, because it fits into your fantasy?
Ukraine is fighting with our help, Poland is a NATO ally that wants to be even more aggressive.
Maybe they would hate your guts but that’s another story.
All this and simply the fact that dug in defensive positions tend to wreak havoc on an offensive enemy.
Ukraine losses are big, but not at the level of WW1.
Royal Newfoundland Regiment, August 1, 1916 (Somme) had 110 survivors out of 780 and only 68 unwounded.
And there were other Regiments with even greater losses.

How does it feel to be wrong about everything regarding this war?
Thank you.
You forgot the penalty flag though.
Fifteen yards for incorrect use of the old Roman term “Decimate” - I.E. kill one out of ten, the punishment for a Roman army unit that had underperformed in battle.
Right, or annihilate. You likely know this already, but the word came from military discipline in the Roman legion. Every tenth man in a group was executed by other soldiers.
While all those Ukrainian soldiers died, at least their bosses got new condos in Spain…
Ukraine lost. You were wrong about NATO.
There was at least one town in Ireland that learned that all their young men, stupidly deployed into a “Chums Battalion”, had all been killed. All in the same spot in The Battle of the Somme, 1916.
3 times. Liver, bowel, and pancreatic.
I have zero confidence and respect in NATO’s and our woke generals. We have a track record of losing. They don’t even seem to be the least bit upset about it as long as they rotate into defense contractor jobs.
I have zero confidence and respect for the CinC. When Biden is out of office it is imperative that we correct the course of our military. Like education, it’s not a matter of money. The military needs to be cleansed of woke officers all the way down to BCs. Faggots, gender deniers and women need to be discharged. Our forces need to be consolidated and mostly moved to the homeland, that includes exiting NATO. We have enough of our own losers that we don’t need to associate with the losers in NATO. We need to project power only in the South China Sea and Strait of Taiwan.
We need to be energy self sufficient so we do not rely on the ME. We know that is doable. We need to become self sufficient in semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and other products that we rely on China. Once that is complete we cut defense commitments with Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. They are big boys now just like Europe. They can pay for their own defense. I have no problem selling them weapons at a profit so they can defend themselves. These are some of the things that will make America great again.
We will be great when we can provide for ourselves and when we can defend the homeland. We are doing neither now.
“Ukrainians fighting for Ukraine in Ukraine against an invader,”
A lot are paying bribes to avoid. Of the remainder, I think once it is over, many will realize it was a mistake.
Many are paying bribes not to serve. I think after the war is over many who served will feel dupped. They were close to a peace deal in May of last year, but England and us said no.
Early in the war, Poland certainly didn’t send fighter plans on their own when they could have. Germany is signaling no further escalation.
Go on and cheer for the NWO. Maybe in your fantasy it will be a great place.
Unfortunately, in the house I rent space in, it is now full of single male, under 35 Ukes, all having been living o/s of Youcraint for at least 3 years. Why is Canaduh letting them in? Why aren’t they at home, defending their ‘homeland’? None of these jackasses have any job skills.
Calgary, and likely all of Canaduh, is FULL of newly landed Ukes. They are generally, loud, boorish, demanding and ignorant, and expect Canaduh to do everything for them. They are as bad as mohamedans and Africans, afa manners.
“WHY RUSSIA IS DECIMATING THE UKRAINE COUNTER OFFENSIVE”
This was expected, given the skill and experience of the Russians. And deep down, I strongly suspect, the NATO planners knew this all along, but since they were Ukrainians...(I’ll leave it there).
