And they all died because one psychopathic old fart simply just wanted to take over majority of or the entire country of another for personal gain.
Hey, that’s not fair! Most of them were not killed, but only mutilated too much to be ableish-bodied enough for the russian army!
(Serious note: this is the casuality number, that includes deaths, but also soldiers with wounds that put them out of service, like lost legs)
And then they send the mutilated back out into the trenches literally.
Armed only with crutches.
Nah, just pick up the crutches from the last guy that was in there.
Some they do, but actually most they don’t. The casualty rate is about 40 000 per month, meaning that there are about 25 000 cripples per month. The Russian recruitment capacity is about 25 000 to 35 000 per month depending on the source, so there should be about one cripple for one four-limbed soldier if all of the cripples were sent to the front. In reality, their number is a tiny fraction of that, as we can see in the videos.
The fact they are doing it and there is footage of it is funny lmao
Does that not include Russians defecting also?
Russians don’t really defect. They are told that Ukrainians will torture them for fun if they are caught alive and then kill each one, so it looks for them as if a 99% chance of dying on the field is still better chance than 100% chance of torture and then death anyway.
And because the Russian soldiers honestly believe this is how Ukrainians behave, they do that very thing to Ukrainians “in revenge”.
If they defect to the rear, they are shot by kadyrovite sheep enthusiasts.
So, whether the number includes defects is largely irrelevant. Maybe they do, maybe they don’t, but that won’t affect the numbers even by a tenth of a percent.
It’s not mere personal gain with Putin. The man has a vision of returning Russia to glorious Soviet Union. Probably felt kicked in the balls when it all fell apart. Remember, he was the head of the KGB, an extraordinarily powerful man. Maybe even more powerful than the Premier? Dunno.
He likely felt he would quickly crush Ukraine, make them an example, and then move on to other lost, and weaker, countries.
When he SU fell apart he was clerk in stasi.
He was never the head of KGB. He was planted as the prime minister by KGB precisely because the big guys at KGB believed they could control him when the prime minister becomes a president by the president resigning.
The other important people in KGB would never have allowed for the head of the KGB to become the president if the Russia, because they were his competitors.
