    Not only that, but their land-gains also completely stopped since starlink was cut off.

    Spending unsustainable, casualties increasing, gains halted… I expect we’ll hear another nuclear threat soon (desperation confirmation)

      I just read that Russia is losing 35,000 soldiers per month. America lost 55,000 in the ENTIRE Vietnam War, which lasted over 10 years.

      You can’t sustain those kinds of casualties for long. You simply run out of soldiers.

        They’ve also been importing soldiers from other countries, letting mercenaries fight for them. Those will eventually run out too but it’ll take a lot longer. There are a lot of men in global south countries who will take what they think is easy money. They have no idea at all what they’re getting into.

          Eventually, the word will get around, and they won’t be able to get foreign soldiers either.

          The day will come when he will demand more lives, and his own country will say No.
