(#5119) More than a thousand Russian troops died yesterday

      The invasion of Ukraine by the kremlin will be known as the Russia's Waterloo. The place where Russian blood runs deep into the ground. Yesterday approximately 1030 Russian soldiers spilled blood for the last time in their shortened lives. The day before 870 Russian soldiers died. It is becoming clear that the strategy the kremlin is employing of throwing their troops in front of the buzz saw that is the Ukrainian defense is a tragedy for Russian mothers. All because the kremlin wants to take Bakhmut on or before the 1 year anniversary, February 24th, of their so far failed invasion of Ukraine. The ego it takes to send countless young men to their deaths just so that the murderers in the kremlin can crow about some minor victory in Ukraine is incredibly offensive.
      At least offensive to me. What is astonishing is that the mothers and fathers of these dead Russian soldiers are not complaining or protesting. It is as if they find solace in the kremlin calling them fallen heroes more that them being alive to life a full life. The hero worship notwithstanding is just a veneer for the murderers in the kremlin to hide behind. Yet despite the obviousness of the deception from the kremlin the Russian society at large is beyond redemption for their silence. Fear can make one silent surely but when their children are being led to slaughter when does the love for their children overrule their fear?
     Many more Russian soldiers will die in Ukraine in the next few weeks and if this continues at this rate this Russian invasion may be coming to an end. Russia will have failed to achieve their goal of eliminating Ukraine from the world map and now the numbers are closing in on over 150,000 soldiers being killed in Ukraine. As many as another 100,000 Russian soldiers injured. Nearly 15,000 tanks, armored personnel carriers, and vehicles and fuel tanks have been destroyed and/or captured. This ego driven folly of invading Ukraine will be the end of Russia as anything approaching a superpower. They will be lucky if their federation of brutality survives in whole.
