More weird, a senseless post that has nothing to do with anything.

The Russians are using artillery and drones to kill off Ukrainian troops.

As are Ukrainian troops, to an even larger degree.

They figure that if they kill enough, Ukraine will have to give up.

Putin is willing to sacrifice as many troops as needed, while making slow battlefield gains at high cost. But gains are gains, even if slow. 100,000 dead since January. Now they are backfilling, at least in border regions like Kursk and Belgorod, with DPRK troops, and using whatever they can can get from Africa and Central Asia inside Ukraine. Meanwhile Ukraine is still unwilling to draft men under 25. Until last year the conscription age was 27. That seems insane.

It’s important to note that since January of this year, as an example just to give you, on the Russian side, they’ve lost 100,000 soldiers – dead – not injured – dead. And on the Ukrainian side, the numbers are less but still very significant. And so that’s – the President doesn’t like wars. He thinks wars are a waste of money and a waste of lives, and he wants them to end. And he’s going to do everything he can within his power to end this war and any other war he has a chance to end, as you’ve seen in the past.

That is a preposterous statement. The Russian Military is light years ahead of us in almost every way including it’s missile technology.

The Russians lost close to 30 Million People in W.W. II and literally won the war with sacrifices the West never made or even could make without the People demanding a stop of the war.
