By industry I mean manufacturing. Russia manufactures very little.

A passive-aggressive opus? You can hail an admin moderator...or fall on your sword and call down the Viking Kitties.

True but I am sure there have been additions since 1928. WW2 was a new elevation for war propaganda. What with Adolf, Goebbels. Stalin. Great Britain too.

“In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.”

Winston Churchill

Where are you getting your numbers? russia has 140 million people! 20 million is very possible

140 million total population means around 70 million men, of whom 35 million are boys and old men. It would be hard to get 20 million fit for service out of a total military age population of 35 million. And then congrats! Russia is completely out of men.

true, but putin doesn’t care how ‘fit for service’ any of the men are. I believe he doesn’t care one whit if they die. If it takes 20 million boys and old men he’s just fine with it. I’m sure you are aware how ill equipped and poorly trained these soldeirs are, right?

putin appears obsessed with winning at all costs to save his puffed up negative ego. I hear reports of anywhere from 65,000 to 120,000 dead russians so far. Do you think putin cares about them OR their grieving families?

I sure don’t. putin is evil imo.

If putin stops killing, there will be peace

If Zelensky stops fighting back, there will be no more Ukraine.

Do you understand the difference?

putin is invading Ukraine. Ukraine is defending its sovereignty and self-determination.
