    You see, Ukrainians have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down - Putin.

      It’s just another way to control population growth. Either pharmaceutical or weapon manufacturers, just choose where you want to insert coins.

        as harsh as it may sound, you’d want to get rid of the oldest people first. So it’s not even effective at that

      That is genuinely bleak.

      If you put on a blindfold and picked a random point on the Russian timeline, from its founding to today, this statement would be equally applicable.

        Not everywhere, throughout most of the USSR things were pretty good for the average person.

          Good point. There’s strong evidence for that in recorded testimonials from cities across the USSR before its demise. When residents were asked about their living arrangements, work conditions and general satisfaction with life, they all had the same thing to say: “Can’t complain”.

    It was 300k like two and half months ago. Now it’s 365k. I hope it’s going to be waaaaaay more than 500k this year

      Looking at the wiki it is claimed casualties including injuries. Confirmed are apparently a fraction of that.

      I wouldnt be suprised if we would have a very different outlook after the war actually ends.

        Casualties do include injuries unless otherwise mentioned

        A casualty, as a term in military usage, is a person in military service, combatant or non-combatant, who becomes unavailable for duty due to any of several circumstances, including death, injury, illness, capture or desertion.

        It is sometimes misunderstood to mean “fatalities”, but non-fatal injuries are also casualties.

      Please don’t talk like that. Imagine if it was you or a family member dying in a needless war like that. Remember that people aren’t their government

        people aren’t their government

        But they are their actions. If you go to Ukraine as a part of the killing, raping, looting Russian army, that’s what you are.

        Russians only understand violence. All of that “let’s talk, pls don’t be mean” bullshit does not work on them. If you do that, they’ll think that you’re weak and gay and whatever. If they where normal fucking people, they would not let 365k of them to just die. 80% of them support this war. Hell, even vatniks in my country think that it’s part of russia. Yes, some good russians exists, but I’m not going to look for a spoon of sugar in a pile of shit
