Russian casualties are likely much lower, they aren’t subject to the artillery onslaught they are hitting the Ukrainians with.

Ukes are moving women between the ages of 18-60 into the draft enlistment pool.

Impossible, Daily Mail says only Russians are dying…

Seriously, I hope it ends soon. The deaths at the end of the war are so unnecessary.
When the outcome is determined, there’s no reason to die anymore.

The war has to end at some point…Ukraine could never go toe to toe against Russia…the deep state west got more Ukrainians kill by supplying tons of money and weapons…no there are 1000s dead on both sides, a destroyed country and misery…FJB

A war of attrition is just fine with Vlad. And is there any question of who would win such a war?

Whatever the casualty rates may be, the war will last until every last piece Pootie Toot wants is taken, including NATO countries. Its just how Russia operates. How long is that? Who knows? But decades is not out of the question, historically.

This is what happens when we involve ourselves in a European war - Wilson prolonged WWI and Biden is prolonging this war.

We should have helped our ally Poland with the refugee influx, and that's it.

I agree that Russia is wrong, wrong, wrong - but that doesn't mean we have to get involved - we really have no skin in this game.

Taiwan, on the other hand - this conflict will most certainly affect the US (will cut our trade routes/supply lines, isolate our allies and our overseas territories/bases like Okinawa and Guam).

Oh yeah, Vlad is taking over all of NATO countries and Europe. By golly he wants the whole world and he will spend decades warring to get it while all those countries cower at his skills to take over everything. No one else could ever rival his raw ruthless power. I mean it is just how he operates.

Hyperbole much? LOL

How Nazi of him. Poland is next.
Negotiating with him will be the same as Chamberlain’s efforts.

“Oh yeah, Vlad is taking over all of NATO countries and Europe.”

To be fair to him, Putin could just waltz into Europe now, since NATO emptied out their armories by sending it all to Ukraine, and just now, they are realizing that Just-in-Time production isn’t so great when it involves military hardware, much of which requires enemy materials.

Maybe Zelensky could direct them to where he is selling all of their donations to him that may be needed for Europe to fight Putin when he is conquering them.

It is clown world and a dangerous clown world at that.

“Maybe Zelensky could direct them to where he is selling all of their donations to him that may be needed for Europe to fight Putin when he is conquering them.”

Considering how much of the Western military has been captured by Putin, perhaps the West should go to Moscow and ask how much it will cost to buy it back? Especially considering that it will be 2 or 3 years (or longer) to replace these weapons, due to in large part to their LGBT content requiring twice-yearly Drag Queen shows, for example.

“Ukraine should surrender and end this madness.”

What benefit would that be to the Neocons and Globalists?

Therefore Zelensky will not be permitted to do such.

Ukraine can go to the negotiating table any time they want.

Whining about Putin is irrelevant.
