Greg , 6 hours ago to news in Putin's invasion of Ukraine after 900 days of war: 500,000 Russian soldiers died, $211bn warfare costs

Where are you getting that 500K killed number from? That’s a lot higher than any legitimate sources

“…The Economist reported 462,000 and 728,000 Russian soldiers were out of action by mid-June”

Now that’s both killed and wounded, and based on analysis of leaked docs from US DoD. How much is any of it true? Probably will know in 50 years or so, but whatever the exact number is, it’s likely more than they’ve lost in all military actions combined since WWII.

This must be so demoralizing for Russians who didn’t even want to fight the war on the first place.

Seems like there should be a cheaper way to cull the population of Russia, but I guess I’m not that experienced with that sort of thing.

Allowing HIV to run rampant has played a separate part of making Russian life tough.

I thought alcoholism would be it. And someone would be at least making money off it (sans bootlegging).

We’re being flippant, but god, what a waste of human potential. Absolutely pointless war.

@tardigrada It sure was a successful campaign after all that goalpost moving that Putler did ever since the invasion began.

Maybe they should pull their forces back into Russia. They seem to have left their backsides open.
