I never claimed to be a whiz at math and being that I'm an aging Boomer I go by the ‘’old math’’.

If you multiply 365 days a year times 1,000(casualties a day) the correct answer would be 365,000 would it not? For a two year period that would be 730,000. Seems somethings off in someones calculation. At least as I see it.

Of course, that's why Russia is still a menace, and why NATO is still needed, And why we need to keep supporting Ukraine

The evidence is irrefutable, but we'll see lots of lies, snark, and ad hominem insults anyway.

Try looking at the satellite photos of massive Ukie graveyards popping up all across Ukraine, you would have a different opinion….then read the Ukie social posts….matters not, Vlad is going to do as he says.

Fact is Ivan is making gains all across the 600 mile front- and their is nothing the brain dead war cheerleaders can do to stop it.

No, It’s all true. Stupid Ruzzians using “Banzai Charges” in terrible human wave attacks. Sending poorly trained Ruzzians into machine gun nests to die by the hundreds of thousands. Fleash eating rats are feasting on the dead bodies of fallen Orks. The dead Orks are piled ten feet tall now. Only when the Hero Ukraine army runs out of bullets, can they make any progress. Only one out of four Ruzzians have guns, the rest are armed with sharpened shovels. They are ordered to pick up the guns of fallen comrades and continue the advance. For every killed Ukrainian, twenty-five Ruzzians are killed. Victory is right around the corner.

Always consider ‘’the power behind the throne’’.

Those fat cats in the Kremlin have made very comfortable lives for themselves and their families ripping off the system for decades. They have nice homes and dachas on The Black Sea. They're kids go to nice schools abroad. They live good. Fat and happy.

They know damn well this isn't “The Great Patriotic War For The Motherland’’ and all that bs.

They don't want to see that all go up in smoke.
If “Comrade’’ Putin keeps this up he'll soon find himself ''retired for reasons of health''. Putin has a habit of killing off his enemies and rivals in the Kremlin and the government. As you do unto others so will it be done unto you someday.

The rate has not been 1,000 per day all along, it started much lower, and has been rising, as Russia’s relative firepower advantage has ebbed away. (See the chart in Post #21)

At some points, Russia once fired 50 Artillery shells, for each Ukrainian shell fired. Those days are long gone.

Russian tactics have shifted toward “Meat wave” assaults, as they have lost the capability to advance otherwise, producing higher and higher casualty rates. Nothing currently seems likely to change that trend, unless Western aid is cut off.

Update: They left Kherson, while Putin was running the show. They left Snake Island, while Putin was running the show. They left Kyiv oblast, and Chernihiv, and Sumy and Kharkiv, while Putin was running the show.

13 Nations have chosen to join NATO, while Putin was running the show.

Russia has become the most heavily sanctioned country on Earth, while Putin was running the show.

Putin has become a wanted fugitive from the World Court, with a warrant issued for his arrest, while Putin was running the show.

Russia has suffered its worst Military defeats and greatest Military losses since WWII, while Putin was running the show.


Reasons why Putin would be even more determined not to leave this time.

“UK intel says”

Too funny! It’s PERFECTLY CLEAR now that the people posting these kinds of articles are NOT Freepers, but are pushing some kind of agenda, for some reason, since, if they were HONEST FReepers, they would already understand that “UK intel” is NOT CREDIBLE on Ukraine and thus would not post anything from “UK intel” unless corroborated by a CREDIBLE source...which would typically be a pro-Russian source. Yet they continue to post this trash, on a DAILY basis.

So, they’re just here to SPAM this site.

What a crock. No. Meanwhile, Ukraine has lost something like 500,000, and now that idiot is looking for another 500,000 to replace the ones he’s lost.

It is not just Putin’s decision, what happens in the world.

They will be made to leave.

Russia is demilitarizing rapidly, expending it’s financial reserves, and has trashed the Natural gas business to Europe, that took over 75 year to build (Gazprom, long a cash cow, now operates at a loss).

The tanks and Artillery in the old Soviet storage yards have been migrating to scrapyards in the Ukraine, and the better half is already gone. Loss rates for major combat platforms exceed production rates of new ones, by at least an order of magnitude.

After the “election” for Putin’s next “term” in office, the pre-election pumping up of the ruble will likely end (it is painfully expensive for the Russian Central Bank to keep propping it up), and broad new taxes being prepared on personal and business incomes. Beyond those, new progressive tax rates are reportedly also being prepared. Belt tightening and Police State repression are set to come down on the Russian population, in earnest, once Putin has another seven years before having to conduct another “election” farce.

If we go by the Russian lovers here. They are the best military on the planet. They could wipe our military out with one hand tied behind their back. Russian soldiers just do not get killed. They are super soldiers. You people are delusional.

It sounds like “make up a number between 500-750 and that’ll be the number of VC we killed today”

>I DON’T CARE… as long as not another US taxpayer dollar goes to support the carnage in Ukraine.<

According to the U.S. Treasury Department, our nation’s debt now stands at nearly $34.4 trillion, as of Feb. 28, 2024.

Since June, the last two $1 trillion jumps occurred in about 100 days.

The debt load of the U.S. is growing at a quicker clip in recent months, increasing about $1 trillion nearly every 100 days.

But who cares? Certainly not Zeepers!

Their only concern is funding the Zelensky/Biden Money Laundering Machine.

They view America as Host for the Parasite known as Ukraine.
