(#4965) More than 50,000 Russian troops dead and over 2,000 Russian tanks destroyed

     This is the legacy of putin. If anyone thought before the putin invasion of Ukraine that Russia would be saddled with these numbers they would have been labeled crazy. That is just how astonishing these results are. The Ukrainian armed forces and the western allies are equally to be applauded but to me it is the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people that has made this happen. The will to win no matter what the cost is the wild card here. The instantaneous President Zelenskyy rebuke of putin at the beginning set the stage and then the brave Ukrainian forces on Snake Island that told putin to fuck off set the tone for all that has come since.
     This moment in time is just a reflection point. 50,000 Russian soldiers dead. Let that sink in for a minute. All these men were breathing air not 7 months ago. But for putin it is not enough. He will add to these totals as the days linger on into weeks and months if he is not stopped. Those 2,000 tanks that are no longer are another indication of just how badly this putin murderous invasion has proceeded. He has lost more than 7,500  armament and logistical equipment. In total Ukraine has destroyed about 10,000 mobile pieces of military equipment.
     When put into perspective of the goal of putin to take Ukraine in about 3 days to a week, it seems absurd and foolish that putin would have blundered so badly in his calculations. But it isn't just about numbers for him. Whether he took Ukraine in less than a week or if it takes him a lifetime, he will not stop until he has accomplished his goal. So either the Ukrainian military forces have to stop putin or the Kremlin has to stop putin. But one of those ways will be the final solution to this epic Waterloo moment for putin. An end of the Ukrainian invasion is foreseeable with all lands back into Ukrainian control. What happens to putin before or after that is easily surmised.
