As long as Russians continue to die, they swill sponge and sponge and sponge and sponge.
I really don’t know how else to say this - The Ukrainians, with our direct help, will continue to kill Russians because they can. No other reason is necessary; no cost is too great. It’s a visceral, primal, pulsing hatred. And hot damn are we happy to oblige.
I suspect it’s something that only a people who have been invaded would understand. We are not those people. We are the opposite of those people. Probably best not to armchair quarterback that human experience.
If it was that minimized they wouldn’t be awarding so many “Hero of the Federation” awards to widows and mothers.
The folks in Washington and Brussels can’t tell the difference between a Ukrainian and a Russian. Every dead Ukrainian is as good as a dead Russian as far as they are concerned.
That is especially true as Russia continues to advance, and more Ukrainians will be getting Russian citizenship. Fighting to the last Ukrainian is the goal.

Oh, they know the difference.
They will continue to kill Russians because they can.
And you should know better than anyone - When you chop wood, chips fly.
It’s hard to imagine a more advantageous scenario for doing so.
It’s so refreshing that every enemy of Russia can taste it on their tongue. Succulent and sweet. I can tell that even you taste it moi droog.
Ukraine is trashed thanks to Vlad the inbred Slav. Even if he were to acquire Ukraine what’s he gonna do, stand over the rubble and say: “Ha, I won”?
Vladimir Staponovich, why so blue?
do you think you’ll be able to find it under all the Russian propaganda you’ve piled up?
Bloomberg’s reporting put Russian losses for January just around 44,000 dead on the battlefield, a number Sciutto made even more eye-popping with added context. The Soviet Union lost some 14,500 to 23,000 troops between 1979 and 1989 fighting in Afghanistan, although estimates vary.
Sciutto shared Wickham’s post and wrote, “In a single month, Russia had twice as many soldiers KIA as its entire ten-year war in Afghanistan, which helped bring down the USSR. The losses are staggering.”
Also in perspective, the US lost a total of 58,281 killed (of all causes) in the Vietnam theater over 20 years. The worst year, 1968, saw 16,899 dead. And we all remember what effect that had on US politics …

If the Russian people had any actual influence on how their government is run we might be seeing a similar effect there.
Vietnam was a war of choice on the other side of the world in a country of no great importance to the US. A better comparison would be the US Civil War, the last major war that the US fought in North America.
The Union lost 364,000 men out of a total population of19 million. The equivalent losses would be roughly 6.7 million in terms of the 2026 US population. The UK and France lost a similar portion of their population in WW1.
Did voters in the US, UK, and France have any actual influence on their governments?
There is no civil war. It’s a war of choice. Putin is on the record saying that he cannot deal with Zelensky so he first took back crimea then infiltrated or invaded donbas and started a civil unrest there (using Russian soldiers and Russian weapons). Then he started a war of choice.

UK media has pushed one fantastic fabrication after another from Kyiv and London intel sources.
The US Civil War was war of choice. President Buchanon was fine with the Confederate states leaving without a fight.
Ukraine’s independence in 1991 was based on constitutional provisions that Ukraine would remain neutral and would preserve the rights of Russian-speaking citizens. A bloody civil war in Ukraine occurred on the border of Russia after the US-backed 2014 Kyiv coup removed these constitutional provisions.
The war came to Russia, not the other way around.
It was also based on constitutional provisions that a Foreign power cannot have a military presence on its land
Why are you telling me? Vietnam wasn’t my example.
During and after the Vietnam War? Yes.
Do you have any information (not provided by the Russian government) to dispute these numbers, or are you attacking the source because the data is inconvenient for your pro-Russian narrative?
