As many as 80,000 Russian troops have been wounded or killed in less than six months of fighting in Ukraine, the Pentagon said Monday, the first time the U.S. military announced its estimates of the toll of the invasion on Russia.

According to U.S. estimates, Russia has suffered 70,000 to 80,000 casualties, Colin Kahl, the undersecretary of defense for policy, told reporters at a press briefing Monday.

" It is unclear whether the U.S. estimates count separatist forces operating Russian-created statelets in the Donbas, the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics."

Add in DNR, LPR, MIAs and total losses likely exceed 100k.

Russia has been “about to run out of ammo/men” for like four or five months now, according to “Western sources.”

“As many as” can also mean “one.”

Russia is about to run out of gas for offensive operations in Ukraine. They should be able to hold on to the occupied territories in Ukraine. They still have artillery and air force. Ukraine simply do not have enough fire power to take back their lost lands.

Too bad that will take away from our own stockpile for a future war with China. Maybe, Ukraine will send us some.

The same Pentagon that wants to court-martial thousands of soldiers for not wanting to get the HIV injection. Karma when the Ukraine weapons are used on those same Pentagon Deep Stater’s. It’s bound to happen eventually. I’ll be the first to say, told you so. /spit

Zero credibility statements.

They bungled the withdrawal from Afghanistan and we were told that Kabul would have no problem holding out against the Taliban yet the Taliban overran it in no time.
