Russian death toll in Ukraine nearing 110,000

I have heard that number for Russia, but also that the Ukraine military has about the same numbers, and that the civilian deaths caused by the war in one way or another is at least another 100,000.

Heck of a Job American foreign policy braintrust!

It seems that you're not.

' NATO is a protection racket '

The marks buy their armaments from the US and subscribe to American policies and ' terrorist ' lists and in return NATO promises not to attack them and install ' democracy '


Haw, haw................................haw.

I think, unsurprisingly, there will always be a core of support for Putin's war in Russia.

When this board started, there was still a substantial amount of support for the Iraq war (primarily from Republicans) even years after the excuses given for the need to invade had been debunked.

People don't like their nation to lose wars. American conservatives wanted us to stay in Vietnam and fight on to the elusive final victory.

I think think the war supporters in Russia tend to be older people who are still susceptible to Soviet style propaganda, as well as just conservative and nationalist Russians who at this point just don't want Russia to lose a war, regardless of why it started.

I personally don't know any Russian citizens who support the war, but my aqaintences tend to be the urban professional class.

Most of my contacts are the folks I met while working on a project in the Navy as a translator (no I cannot tell stories about it), they are invariably veterans that had been in the service longer than the (at that time) 2 year requirement. Likely more conservative than others I guess. Though I have heard them speak out against the government's stance against gays, I hear more support than I like for the war in Ukraine from them. Though I am not going to judge them for it, they work on what they hear and they trust Putin in a way I never would. When I was in the service we knew Putin as one of the most dangerous men alive.
