25,000 Russians killed in Ukraine

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/time-...073709510.html

It's probably more or less, but Putin sent 25,000 of his own people to death. And probably nearly as many Ukrainians that are basically sisters to the Russian people. And this is just in a little over 3 months.

Too sad, and they just die in vain for what even... just some other guy's power hungry dream.

Wish all those Russian troops would have rolled into Ukraine just as Putin wanted...and then immediately laid down their arms and asked for asylum and refused to create the war he wanted.

This is all so fake*, don't fall for any of it






*"staged" is a more accurate word for it, actually

Would be the best scenario! Too bad war is the one thing humans fail to be lazy and procrastinating about.

Probably a lot of people would be executed.

Would you care to elaborate on how this is being faked or why it would be faked to begin with?

People who deny that people are dying in wars is the most bizarre thing ever. What do you think is happening, the soldiers are having tea parties with one another? Of course people are dying but I guess we won't know how many accurately until the war is over.

I honestly can't believe there hasn't been a real uprising against Putin in Russia yet. Or at least some semblance of mass unrest.

I believe Sumac has addressed that. 15 years in government jail just for SAYING you're against the government? Yeah, you're not gonna find a lot of people willing to actually stand up and start throwing stones, in that environment. Plus, as he's mentioned before, over there the general attitude is more or less "If not Putin it'd just be someone else, and probably even worse."

I mean I get the frustration and it's nice to say/suggest, "Why doesn't anyone DO something?" but depending on circumstance it's not always feasible. Even if every single Russian citizen is against what the government is doing... the government still has an army and that army has tanks. And the soldiers are probably more concerned with having jobs than being on "the right side of history" so they'd never revolt either, no matter what they personally think.

Russian Major General has said that Russia is preparing for 'big, colossal war' with NATO.

The video was tweeted by journalist and Russia-watcher Julia Davis, who wrote: "current mood in Russia: they are not interested in peace or negotiations...State Duma member, Major General Andrei Gurulyov says that Russia is ready for a big, colossal war."

'Russian Major General' sounds like a tiny, angry dog yapping from behind its fence at a yard of 30+ others including some big ones. Easy to talk tough from where he sits, but lets see him actually put himself on the front line and threaten NATO territory.

I think that the threat is serious, and that the possibility of a Third World War is increasing by the day.
