The American state of South Dakota has a population of 924,669 per Google. Already 944,270 Russian soldiers have died in Ukraine since February 24, 2022. Delaware, with 1,051,917 will be the next arbitrary milestone for comparison. With more than a 1,000 Russian troops dying every day in Ukraine the passing of the Delaware figure is only months away. South Dakota has 4 states below it in population so we are at a point where a lot of people are no more in how to measure this. A whole American state's population is gone when compared with the losses putin has instilled upon his country.
Let me be clear here as well. Russia is putin's country as it is not a democratic one it is an authoritarian one where putin is the tyrant. The only thing I can see that keeps ordinary Russians from changing their government is the fear they feel if they even think about trying. Fear is the one emotion we experience where it can literally freeze us from operating as a human being. Yet fear does not have to be one way. It can be used to temper our actions and thoughts while still giving us the ability to react and enact. Accepting to live as a lesser human being is not enviable. Sometimes it is necessary to survive but only long enough to plan a strategy to root out the problem.
The invasion putin started in Ukraine was all about putin and his ego. There is no other excuse for killing Ukrainians and his own people. Lives should matter, and should not be used to slaughter each other for any reason. Any time anyone exchanges peace for war it is time to make the one who wanted war feel the effect of war. There is no other conclusion for all of this. As putin continues to kill Ukrainians and his own people the numbers continue to climb whereas 1,000,000 dead Russians in Ukraine is just about to become a reality. All for the sake of one man's ego. Our world is a sad place where this many young people are sacrificed to death by persons who never endanger themselves in the effort. That has to change if peace is to return.
