[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't give a sh*t about Ukraine's territory.   I don't support American money and weaponry in Ukraine.  Negotiate now.   No more proxy war.[/quote]

Why? Proxy war so far is net-positive for the us

Beyond the toll of human misery and death?  Because the average regular joe in any country prefers and needs peace and stability.

Because war expands and increases the risk my son or my neighbors sons will be drafted.  Because the US is dragging out what could have been negotiated and de-escalated.  Because we are playing with the possibility of nuclear war and the annihilation of humanity.   Because countries rise and fall but we only have 1 earth.[/quote]

You don't view Russia as a threat. But for those that agree Russia is a threat, they are diminished and degraded [b]at a low cost to the US vs other options[/b].   And keeps those defense contractors busy and rich and happy to donate to any republican, democratic or independent that will help keep them on busy. [/quote]

That's true as long as the dead are worth nothing.[/quote]

That is a scolding for Russia.   Putin clearly just sees a piece of meat ready for grinding when he views his young conscripts.[/quote]

Prigozhin got 50,000 prison inmates and sent them to fight at Bakhmut.  A month later, it's believed that 40,000 of the 50,000 are either dead, captured or otherwise MIA.  In the west that whole thing would be shocking.  But in fact there is discussion about how maybe this is a good thing for Russia, criminals liquidated and no more cost to Russian taxpayers.  They are truly sick and deranged.[/quote]

Concur.  Now you see the true former Soviet mentality.  Remember that Putin is a true originally trained KGB agent, with all that means.  If he cannot win, he will do as much harm as possible.  Failure is not an option.  As he ages, I believe he may succumb and cling to his programming.  I believe he is becoming completely irrational, which is why some of his public appearances have been curtailed.

I think Simonyan hit the nail on the head when she sang the Charge of the Red Cavalry.  She knows how the inner circle thinks.

I think this is why 300,000 to 500,000 troops are massing in the East for an invasion.

Even though all reports indicate they are poorly equipped and probably don't have much in the way of resupplies, I don't believe that's the intent.

Imagine that all 500,000 die.   Or alternatively, launch a nuke in Ukraine with 500,000 prepared to invade Poland or Wester Europe?

What is the shock value to the Russian Government if, all of a sudden, [b]they released the actual figure of Russian casualties in Ukraine?[/b] I think Putin is seeking a complete transition of his country from Mass Formation Psychosis into Mass Psychosis.

Again, I'm not a "Russia Expert", so I hope I'm wrong?[/quote]

Ukraine never released its casualty numbers either.[/quote]

How many Ukrainians are dying every day, on average?[/quote]

Not enough. [/quote]
