This is genocide of his own people.

A war criminal against his own country.

What a guy, huh?

Greg Gutfeld has the right take for Americans about this war.

This war would not have happened if the Democrats hadn’t cheated and put Biden in office.

Lay this misery and destruction on them.

I don’t think Little Pukin would have invaded if Trump was still President.

The Russians lost 19,000 dead PER DAY in the Battle of Stalingrad in late 1942 and early 1943. The Soviet Army saw more than a million killed during that terrible battle.

The Soviets lost about 200,000 dead taking Berlin in the final days of World War II but THEY PREVAILED.

Nobody can be sure of the casualties in this present war but Russians obviously don’t give up easily.

Good!

I hope that number only increases as the day, weeks and months go by.

Six weeks. The French at least put up the pretense of a defense.

Well Russia’s military doctrine has never been like America’s which emphasizes surgical strikes and minimizing civilian and military casualties. Russia’s military doctrine since World War II and later in Afghanistan was basically just keep throwing waves of cannon fodder ground troops and indiscriminate artillery barrages at the enemy and eventually there will be nothing left for them to defend and they’ll give up. Which is exactly the strategy they are employing again in Ukraine.

The more reliable numbers put Russian deaths at between 11,000-14,000. And if historic ratios hold true - multiply that by 3X to get the number wounded. A startling number, to say the least.

“Nobody can be sure of the casualties in this present war but Russians obviously don’t give up easily.”

Agreed. However back then, it was a battle to force invaders from their country, invaders who savaged their country physically and economically. The nation was united against Nazi Germany.

Other than Putin’s generals and maybe some of the oligarchs, does Russia have the staying power in today’s 24/7 news cycle to keep taking what seem to be heavy losses?

“That’s BS, nothing to see there.”

But! But! But! It’s a Russian source!

(FTR: I have no idea if it’s an accurate number or not. But, Russia sure as hell has its hands full with Ukraine.)
