The U.K. Defense Ministry said Sunday that the impact of the heavy casualties Russia is continuing to suffer in Ukraine varies dramatically across the country. The ministry's intelligence update said that the major cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg remain “relatively unscathed,” particularly among members of Russia's elite.
In contrast, in many of Russia’s eastern regions, the death rate as a percentage of the population is “30-40 times higher than in Moscow.”
The report highlighted that ethnic minorities often take the biggest hit. In the southern Astrakhan region, for example, about “75% of casualties come from the minority Kazakh and Tartar populations.”

Putin is trying to reconstitute a greater Russian empire built on the blood of Tatars, Buryats, Chechens, ethnic Siberians, Kazakhs.

Putin uses ethnic minorities as cannon fodder
" First they came for the journalists...
We don't know what happened after that . "

White Libs use Black Americans as canon fodder ... for policies in white lib controlled cities and for the Summer of 2020 Dem insurrection.
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

This is old news but it makes me wonder: how long will these minorities put up with having to fight a war for the Russian whites before they've had enough? The way Russian conducts their war seems illogical in any conventional sense. Using unmotivated prisoners as cannon fodder, using minorities disproportionately for a war that is not universally popular and against a country that poses no threat. I just have the feeling this has to implode eventually.
Seems to me this war makes the timing to be ripe for a revolution within the Russian empire. Another implosion like the Soviet Union eventually?
Maybe not;
Hundreds of thousands cheer Putin in Moscow

Putin is a horrible man.
He needs to be made to answer for his crimes against humanity.
It could happen.
Russia has a history of leaders being deposed and/or killed.
I understand Putin is very afraid of being poisoned.
