BBC had an analyst on last week who said Russia lost 20 million plus in WW2. Most were civilians, but this is the metric Putin looks at. In his eyes Russia hasn’t begun to bleed.
It’s fucked up, but it’s Putin. He feels no pain for what he has caused.
That’s more than the initial invasion force lined up in the weeks up to Feb. 24. 2022.
They are heading to 500000
The thing is, Putin doesn’t care about a single one of them.
That’s roughly the size of a small to moderate city
To put this in perspective, the USA lost 58,220 troops in the Vietnam war; and that war lasted 20 years.
Putin and the Russian ruling elites don’t care they’re dead. Saying “I win”, even if that means freezing the war and keeping what they control in Ukraine will mean it was worth it to them.
Fell like *About 305,000* is nwhat should be reported
300k Russians who won’t be able to protest putin and he got to clear out a few oligarchs. It’s a win win for him
6 times more than US did in Vietnam.
100,000 more and they would have done more than USA in WW2.
Russia is really pitching for that number one spot.
