Putin kills or wounds ~half a million Russian soldiers to capture less than one percent of Ukrainian territory

American and British intelligence have also been reporting massive Russian casualties.

I don't think Russia would have brought in the North Korean army unless they were having manpower issues

I don't doubt they've taken quite a few--a lot of--casualties. The Ukrainians have likely taken just as many. The problem for both is who runs out of manpower first. Neither impresses me as being particularly competent militarily.

Good news is that had the Soviet Union started WW 3 back in the 70's or 80's they'd have been just as shit at war and gotten an ass stomping in Europe for it.

Ukraine isn't "the Left"
Ukraine Defence Ministry casualty estimates aren't radically or vastly different from British MOD sources
It is a socially conservative and religious country that is defending it's sovereign territory against ruthless invaders

I thought prior to the invasion Ukraine was seriously underestimated. But I did not think the conflict would last five years.

The East Slavic people have a reputation for tenacity when pushed to the wall to defend their home and hearth. They are not like the French, who let the Nazis walk into Paris almost on a whim.

You were definitely right about Ukraine being seriously underestimated, and clearly Russia was overestimated.

I am to be corrected on both points.

:lolup: Halfwit believes what Ukraine's Ministry of Defense tells him. :laugh:

They can't even spell DEFENSE correctly.

Ukraine's Ministry of {sp}Defence estimates Russia's military casualties last year exceeded 430,000

They are Ukrainian, so European, and more likely to go with the British spelling of defense. In British English, it would be "defence."

I wonder if Detester will apologize for his mistake.
 
Cypress said:
You are dumb. Defence is the proper British way of spelling it, and the Ukrainian Defence Ministry is probably trained to translate their press releases into British English. Most Europeans are trained in British English.

American and British intelligence puts total Russian casualties near 800,000

So considering 2024 is the bloodiest year of the war, 400k casualties in the last year is in the right ballpark, even if it's at the high end of the ballpark.

The EU still requires British English, if for no other reason, because it is the spelling that the Irish use. Ukraine would try to conform to EU standards.

The Irish Star is, and that's were the article cited was published. I suspect, much like other wars the numbers are overstated. Sure, Russian and Ukraine have sustained significant losses but I don't think there's an accurate accounting right now.

NATO's losses are at least 8 times worse than Russia's and the ratio is getting worse as the NATO army nears collapse.
 
Russia's losses are high enough that there will be no paused conflict.....they will keep destroying Ukraine and killing NATO forces until they get what they have been demanding for over a decade....A European security deal that America agrees to.

They have paid too much to allow NATO to regroup and go at it again....there will be only victory.
 
The Russians keep repeating that the American plan to use terrorism to force them into a pause will not work.

Taking Ukraine was never the objective, standing up to Imperial Empire aggression was...people who refuse to be honest about that are lying to you.

That seems to you a moral thing to do, rain death and destruction on a people to make a point with another party.

Dutch seems to not know that the plan after the Reviolutions candidates were declared the winner was to finally, many years after the original plan, bomb the fuck out of Iran.

But they could not get Harris declared the winner, then Trump said that he is a hard no, and the Pentagon does not want to do it either because these fucks who never win any of their wars, and who just got humiliated in Ukraine, are afraid of getting humiliated all over again.

Hard to tell though....Dutch lies constantly.

Who got humiliated in Ukraine? Might that be the "superpower" slogging away in a contest it had expected to win in a month.
