You Fucking Idiot, the Russians have turned all known war theory related to invading force losses on its head.

The conventional theory and wisdom of an attacking force vs a dug in force prescribes a 3 : 1 ratio of manpower for the attacking force to achieve success.

The Russians have completely destroyed that theory, with a 1 Russian to 10.34 Ukrainian loss ratio, due to a diligent approach to warfare and not the typical blundering approach.

Likewise the loss ration of materiële has followed a similar pattern.

Putin sent in an initial 90 000 men which was an intended shock treatment and anybody who watched the early videos, would have seen that the Russians were laying down old tyres on the asphalt roads and having their tanks cross the roads at right angles to preserve the asphalt from damage.

Putins initial shock treatment was perfectly successful as it at the Ukrainians at the negotiating table within weeks which was the purpose of the initial invasion, with an offer which would have lost the Ukraine no territory whatsoever, but then of course they succumbed to Western stupidity, and now their country is a hole in the ground, and Putin will take whatever he deems necessary, to maintain the safety and security of Russians in both the existing, and new parts ( formerly Ukraine ) of the Russian Federation.

NATO has thrown everything they had without formally anouncing boots on the ground, at the Russians, and have lost virtually All of it,bincluding most of their undercover manpower who were instructors and advisors with technical expertise.

Right now NATO is a blustering bullshitter, which now realises the might of the Russian military which they so badly underestimated.

It is not just the Ukraine screaming for peace, but NATO too, but too bad their ears ate still filled with wax, that will lead to their further annihilation at the hands of the Russians.

The crowning glory being that Ukraine has had a string of continuous mobilisations and are dragging men off the streets and taking them away in vans, only to return them in body bags, while Russia has had only one mobilisation over the past three years, while having their rabks filled by motivated volunteers,bwhich clearly indicates the positive sentiment if the Russian people to Putin's approach and proves that he is under No political threat whatsoever.

Like Tolstoy said: The army with truth and right on its side wins. That was so in the Napoleonic wars at any rate. Maybe true now. I think it can be a regional thing when armies are equal. Killing men and women and children in Gaza is not war, it is genocide and massacre - the kind a lot of colonizing white folks like.
