Russia had 1500+ casualties over the past 2 days - 3000 soldiers..

That's a rate of 46,000+ losses for the month. Ukraine Defense Minister Federov has set a 50k/mo casualty rate. Not much of a stretch as the trend develops.

Not enough human candidates recruited for the grinder, The only legit Russian asset - oil - is getting turned off by Ukraine. Meanwhile, NATO/EU are recognizing the contributions Ukraine has made to stop Putin's aggression.

Putin, he's killing the Russian state.

Some NK. African, Eastern Russia people that are clueless what they are signing up for. Then, maybe 2 weeks of training and off to the front for them. It's just fucking evil.

With the Ebola outbreak, they may want to rethink that strategy.

These guys will not last long in the field. These soldiers are effectively committing suicide by joining the Russian army.

The splat-o-meter continues a pace with over 1400 vatnik scum bastards failing to turn up for their Rice Krispies this morning. That's around 4500 casualties in 3 (!) Days.

That's before we talk about another 5(!) Radar stations taken out.

At this rate, Stevie Wonder would have more chance of seeing what coming.
