Not to mention Lend Lease, which, by the way, was that ever repaid to us by Russia?

Here is a paragraph from the posted article: “The U.S. Defense Department believes that as many as 80,000 Russian troops have been killed or wounded since the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine less than six months ago, a top Pentagon official told reporters today.” This is considerably more in six months than Vietnam cost the US in almost 20 years of conflict.

86,000 Vietnam casualties does not mean KILLED. It includes wounded and sick. Vietnam killed was in the 50,000s. I am sure at this point Russia probably has at least 150,000 casualties, if not more. A lot of Russias troops are recruited among non Slavic minorities, such as Asian Buryats. Wouldn’t want to pi$$ off the Slavic Russian body politic. If the number of dead grow too much they might question their Putin loyalty or ignorance.
