When I saw the Oct. 17 casualty figures only in the 700s and the drone figures almost 600, I thought perhaps Putin was going to go easy on his troops and try to get the job done with drones. But with today’s casualties in the 1100s and the drones still close to 500, its seems he is back to bad on all-fronts attacking. I won’t be surprised if Putin has a hard time calling up the number of troops he needs to maintain these numbers. He must be thinking Trump has decided to back down on more sanctions or stronger weapons. I hope this is not true.
