(#5142) More than 150,000 dead Russian soldiers in Ukraine

      It is obvious that putin is a weak sniveling less than human being. He continues to throw Russian troops into the death grinder that is now Ukraine. For any foreign person coming to Ukraine with the intent to kill and maim the only end result for them is their blood soaking into the soil and their lifeless bodies being hauled away into some hole in the ground. More than 10,000 tanks and armored personnel carriers have also been destroyed or captured. The idea that putin will get that he is a madman chasing after the unattainable is now thoroughly dead. Like the troops he keeps sending into the meat grinding defenses of Ukraine, putin will slowly bleed his country out of it's future.
     I don't know how many more Russian soldiers will have to die in Ukraine before the kremlin understands that there is no victory in Ukraine. Ukraine is a death zone for Russia yet they still cannot see that. It is unfortunate that the young Russian lives already lost are for nothing but to continue is beyond macabre! But continue putin will because he has staked his life on a victory in Ukraine. How much longer the powers that be in the kremlin allow for putin to fail to succeed is now beyond logic. They, like putin, hope for a victory but unlike putin, they didn't stake their lives on it.
     Russia's putin is done on the world stage. The only thing we are waiting for is the end since the result is now settled. Russian imperialism has been found wanting. It will die with this disastrous invasion of Ukraine. What Russia looks like after the dust settles is a bit unclear but I would not be surprised if Russia breaks up into regional powers that eventually become nations of their own. What Ukraine has done to the arrogant putin is bring about the reordering of the world toward democracy. A feat that I could not have imagined when putin put his troops on the Ukrainian border a little over a year ago. The Ukrainian fighting spirit along with weapons from the west have effectively put Russia and China on notice that imperialism is dead as a strategy!
