On the other hand, the Ukraine war is what von Clausewitz called a “cabinet war”, a politically motivated war fought with limited means for a limited end, rather than a “total war” fought with all resources for existence.

It is a "cabinet war" on the Russian side.

It is a "total war" on the Ukrainian side.

Not true. Ukraine could give up the eastern provinces and the war would end with the rest of Ukraine intact as a neutral buffer state. Sort of like Finland ex-Karelia.

This is how Russia fights. They don’t care if they lose millions as long as they kill enough of the enemy to win.

“So how long are Ukraine’s casualties sustainable? “

Another question: how accurate are these figures?

Among the most stunning bits of information that have recently surfaced, reports in Poland say that around 1,200 Polish “volunteers” have been killed in Ukraine. These appear to have been drawn from Poland’s active land army, which consists of three main divisions.

"volunteers" from active duty Polish forces, but not NATO....🤔🤔🤔

Fake News

Ursala clearly stated 100,000 Officers killed in action.
Officers, not Soldiers
Many, many more Soldiers are killed.

Ukraine doesn’t have 100,000 officers. She clearly meant soldiers.

I imagine that Biden has much better numbers than the author of this article.

“So how long are Ukraine’s casualties sustainable?”

“We killed about 100K North Vietnamese a year for about 12 years.

The Soviets in Afghanistan killed about the same number per year for a decade.

If history is a lesson the number of casualties a people are willing to endure to protect their homeland is very large.”

Your entire post deserved repeating!

Perhaps the revolutionaries should have considered this in 2014 when they overthrew Ukraine’s Democracy?

The last time there was killing was by Russians carrying out the holodomor

Why do Ukrainian Socialists get a pass? Because they were so saintly?

No Alexander, I laugh at the ignorance of my fellow Americans who don't know squat about history.

I laugh because I don't want to cry at the destruction of my
country by a dementia addled pervert who is a puppet for the globalists and has given the Ukrainians billions of my tax dollars.

I don't give a damn about the Ukrainian border, ok? My country's southern border no longer exists and a tsunami of illegals are about to pour across. I'm witnessing the end of my country so pardon me sir if I don't give a fick for two scorpions in a bottle engaging in another blood bath. Regards.

The Ukrainian war for independence from Russia in 1920/1921 , the Holodomor, Stalin’s man made famine against the Ukrainians and the Ukrainians who eagerly served in the SS killing squads and others who served in the Waffen SS and the Wehrmacht. That history of the region. I’m sure you’re familiar with it?

False Dilemma Fallacy!

It is possible to be concerned about both issues simultaneously.

The Biden Administration is clearly "dropping the ball" with regards to the protection of our southern border; one can legitimately even accuse the Biden Administration of actually wanting and even colluding to weaken our border.

This is deplorable!

However, that observation does not legitimize your "laughing" about the death toll (civilian and otherwise) in Ukraine directly due to the unprovoked Russian attack, continued invasion, and land-grab!

My utter disgust at the Biden Administration because of its traitorous border policies does not weaken in the least my argument that Putin's Russia is clearly the aggressor in this conflict, that Putin's Russia is clearly in the moral wrong, and that the world will be a safer place once Putin's Russia is taught one simple lesson: Invading peaceful neighboring countries will not end well for Russia!

Regards,

Be disgusted all you want Alex but I don't give a damn for either of these two thug regimes and their blood feud.

No one gave a damn when Ukraine was being used by American, Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs as a massive money laundering base. No cared when Zelensky shut down any and all opposition to his control. Billions, BILLIONS of US taxpayers money has gone down the memory hole and no one knows where it went and Biden is shoveling more billions of my money to this little thug. "False Dilemma Fallacy''?!! Are you blind? An estimated 5 million people have illegally entered the US in the last two years and millions more are poised to flood in here as soon as Title 42 ends and you call this a ''fallacy''? Bitte mein herr aber sie sind verruckt?.

I’ll laugh when ever I want to Alex at the utter hypocrisy, greed and phony sentiment of the human condition.
I respect your intellect Alexander, you’re a smart man but we differ on this issue.

Forgive me for being testy .

Friede sie mit dir.
