      speaking of 1917, with all the conflicts in the news today, I feel like we're in the middle of World War 3 but nobody wants to say it. Just as people have been saying about the possiibility of civil war in the USA (I live here) , I don't think people understand what war actually looks like and because we haven't really been in a world like this in our lifetimes (my father's 87 and he's not even old enough to have fought in WW2) - not to mention our education systems have failed us and the core MAGA base has been trained to be sympathetic and sort of a 5th column here.
      I'm seeing commentators who don't cover war but cover the day to day of politics and news, start to make these pronouncements because it's attention grabbing, but as someone who's observed all of this from the sidelines for 5 years while also digging into recent history and matching it up with the most recent generational cycle of conflict to find parallels and just really to educate myself and to make sense of what seems like a random dumpster fire of various gradations of bad news.
      Even somer people who are covering the wars seem to be overfocusing on the day to day and less to the long term implications. But I digress, just felt like riffing.

    I would have thought they would have mostly pushed the AFU out by now thanks to being able to bring more troops to bear than they could on other fronts, albeit with high casualties (average casualty ratio seems to consistently be around about 3:1 in Ukraine's favor after all,) not this frankly abysmal display.

I resettled there when there were nice relationships because I couldn’t survive within the US on my retirement paycheck. All of a sudden the notice appeared on the site of the Embassy that all Americans should leave Russia and then Social Security cut off my retirement benefits. I am too old to resettle again and I have no money for that. I can only go to the street begging in a foreign country. The government of a civilized country cannot tell an elderly person, “We’ll cut off your retirement benefits unless you resettle to a different country”. What kind of country is it, which doesn’t honor its obligations to the citizens abusing the most vulnerable class? Trump promised to dismiss all Biden’s executive orders, but I don’t believe him. Each following president has always been more evil than previous one. Evil country indeed. No wonder people in the world hate it.

      The same thing happenedi in the Continuation War (Finland/USSR 1940).There were so many dead orcs on the battlefield, advancing orcs had to liiterally climb over them, making then easy targets for Finns hiding in the forests. By the time the Mannerheim Line was breached, it was such chaos that it went unnoticed. The USSR called for a cease-fire and a peace treaty was made. According to Nikita Khrushchev, 1.5 million men were sent to Finland and one million of them were killed, while 1,000 aircraft, 2,300 tanks and armored cars and an enormous amount of other war materials were lost. Finland's losses were limited to 25,904 dead or missing and 43,557 wounded. Current orc losses are shown below (source: Ukraine Pravda):

    If in June 2023 Prigozhin and the Wagner group had not changed their decision to go to Moscow and had not turned aside, they could well have overthrown the hated neo-Soviet regime of Putin and staged a national revolution in Russia, just as Islamists recently overthrew the Assad government in Syria. Of course, in order to consolidate the revolution in Russia, de-Sovietization and de-Bolshevization of Russia would have to follow.

    • @realiteechecka

      Totally agree. I made a related comment above : "Prigozhin travelled a long way from Rostov on Don before he himself decided to stop. The RA only sent out a few choppers which he shoot down. I saw vision of Front End loaders digging up the highway to stop his advance, i.e. no coordinated RA defense. So, yes it does make you wonder. Given that the Russian population has not risen up in defense of Kursk [ their "Motherland" ], suggests that most Russians would not take up arms to stop the UA on a march to Moscow."

      @dakaodo 15 годин тому

      @@alangordon3283 I'm pretty sure OP misread total Russian casualties as KIA, then incorrectly extrapolated wounded and total casualties from that with some coefficient. I'm very much pro-Ukrainian, but OP is smoking some extreme copium.
      Multiple Western sources estimate TOTAL Russian casualties at between 460K and 730K. This already makes the Russian invasion of Ukraine more deadly than the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, so homeboy JkDibine didn't need to fabricate or repeat fake numbers to quantify how badly the Russians have hurt themselves. No serious estimates are saying 3M Russian casualties.
      It's just basic math -- Casualties were initially below 1000/day, and recently consistently well above 1000/day. The invasion phase of the war recently crossed 1000 days, so how could total casualties in this period have possibly exceeded 1M or at a VERY generous extreme 1.5M?
      As for Ukraine, Western sources give KIA estimates ranging between 60K and 130K, with 370K wounded though Zelensky has publicly claimed that 50% of the wounded have returned to service. That's a range of total casualties from 245K up to 500K to compare to the low-high estimates for Russian casualties. At worst for Ukraine (highest Ukrainian estimate, lowest Russian estimate), they may be looking at roughly parity. At best, roughly 3:1 ratio in favor of Ukraine.
      OSINT sources generally support the idea that Russian losses definitely outweigh Ukrainian losses in men and materiel, even if the estimated numbers may be inaccurate. For vehicles, visually confirmed and geolocated losses support the claim that Ukraine has maintained a significantly favorable ratio overall. It's more speculative but IMO reasonable to think that the casualty ratio will roughly parallel the equipment losses.
      Pro-Ukrainian sources I've read say that the difference between Russian and Ukrainian ratios of killed to wounded is due to a number of factors including the Ukrainians' emphasis on preserving manpower and providing emergency trauma care, the Russians' meat assaults that make no provision for recovery of wounded or providing trauma care for Russian soldiers, and the overall fact that Russia has consistently pushed on the offensive all across the front lines this entire time, whereas Ukraine quickly gave up on their offensive once it stalled and has otherwise stuck with a strategy of aggressively creating defensive situations that are bad for Russian attacks.
      Even if you want to be supremely skeptical of any numerical or quantitative claims from either side, the fact that Russia has been playing the active aggressor for the past 3 years is indisputable. And that inherently carries more risk, so it's reasonable to expect that Russia's casualties will be higher.
