That said, what were the kill ratios in Vietnam? Russia vs. Nazi Germany? Afghanistan (both)? Custer's last stand? Korea?
If I pull a very high number out of the air, say, 500 Ukies killed per day, it will takes Russia 2000 days to kill 1 million Ukrainians.** Given their current mind set*, I think Ukraine would fight on even after that, if they have weapons.
*Patrick Henry and / or "defending our land", you know.
**A horrific number.*** But, they lost many more in the Holodomor, and a much higher % of women and children then, too. With a proper, uh, "program", recovery in a generation is practical.
Vuhledar looks like a real fuster cluck for the Russians.
***Can the Russian leadership sustain that same number, in these circumstances?
“it will take”
