(#5101) Russian soldiers dying by the droves

      Over the last 5 days, approximately 4,010 Russian troops have died in Ukraine. The previous 5 day total was approximately 2,880 dead Russian troops dying in Ukraine. Just for some perspective, about one tenth of the Russian total equals the Ukrainian death toll to their troops. By a 10 to 1 margin Russian troops are dying for putin's ego. With nearly a total of 120,000 dead Russian troops just from inside Ukraine the obscene notion that Russia is winning anything there is absurd and closer to insanity than any other probability. With putin relying on sheer numbers as a strategy to overwhelm the Ukrainian homeland, his true reality is that of a Ukrainian buzz saw chewing up his forces at an alarming rate.
     When will the Russian people finally see that their sons are no longer going to have life on Earth as long as putin is leading their country? 120 thousand dead young Russian men has not yet made an impact on the people of Russia to the extent that they cry out, enough! If anything Russia has ceded territory in Ukraine they controlled prior to their murderous invasion on February 24, 2022. The cost of that loss of territory? So far 120,000 dead troops, not counting the injured and surrendered. 3,339 tanks are destroyed or in Ukrainian hands. 6,241 Armored personnel carriers destroyed or captured. 4,903 vehicles and/or fuel tanks destroyed or captured. 564 aircraft/helicopters destroyed or captured. 1,186 tactical UAV systems destroyed or captured. 17 warships destroyed. 2,571 Artillery systems/MLRS destroyed or captured. 220 anti aircraft warfare systems destroyed. 190 various equipment destroyed.
     That is a mighty list of destroyed and captured Russian assets that no longer are available to activate for a loss of territory in Ukraine. Giving up the blood and treasure for less than nothing surely is not a winning strategy for the ego maniacal putin. The strategy of bum rushing his troops into enemy fire is not working for putin but he continues to try. I just can't for the life of me see how the Russian troops keep following orders that will deliver them to a liquidation. There is no sense to it and if it continues the death toll will ultimately become one of the most tragic events in warfare history. It is an abomination to civilized behavior that marching troops to certain death is allowed to continue even to my way of thinking. War is war where death will occur but to throw lives away even grates my soul.
