Stop being a zeeper pinhead. That is Exactly what Zelensky is doing.

Sorry, not being a “Zeeper”. Just noting how the Red Army has historically performed. I have no dog in this fight, so please don’t assume that I do.

A strike: "Stop being a zeeper pinhead. That is Exactly what Zelensky is doing."

It's normal in war for an attacking force to suffer many more casualties than well-prepared defenders, and we've seen this in Bakhmut, Ukraine.
For nine months, Zelenskyy fought a defensive battle, forcing the Russians to attack over and over, just to gain a few more yards of Ukrainian territory.

The US estimates invading Russians suffered 100,000 casualties at Bakhmut, including 20,000 killed in action, or about five times the number of defending Ukrainian casualties.

This means Russians have suffered something like 1,000 casualties for every square mile of Bakhmut they took.
