    Russian has been losing and the economy is collapsing since 2018 according to these news. Every other week I see something like this. Yet we dont see them retreating.

    900k is more than 50% of there forces according to wikipedia that list 1.5 millions.

    I highly doubt the accuracy of these news reports.

    I travel a lot, both for work and leisure, and wherever there's no travel restrictions for Russians, like Thailand, UAE, or Egypt, it's simply overrun with Russian tourists. And they're rich, too, with the latest iPhones, Apple Watches and all the other fashion brands.

    As much as I'd like to see l say that Russia is feeling the impact of this war, empirically, I can't say that it seems that way.

      Lost, huh?

      Does that mean casualties? As in, not necessarily deaths?

      Russia has lost 1,330 soldiers killed and wounded over the past day alone

      I would assume the answer is 'yes.'

      Fuck I hate the propaganda reporting on both sides.

      Including wounded is the official definition of lost, always been. No need to call propaganda, it simply how is defined.

        They throw their young generations into the meat grinder just to control resources. Putin couldn't find a way to pivot to new domestic products so now people get to die.

        Fight war, not wars.

            I'm not even Russian and I'm offended. Most of these people who died likely didn't even want to fight, but we're drafted anyway. Blame the oligarchy, not the people who were forced to participate.

                  Their losses are clearly significant enough to bring a foreign army (North Koreans) to replenish their forces. Maybe not 50% but I don't think it's that far off.

                    Let them keep dying, it's pretty obvious Russias weak if it wasn't for the Nukes the rest of Europe would just pull an Iraq on them. I feel Russias real threat is probably China though they have a lot of land and it's ripe for the taking.

                          The richest people don't care about the war, if groceries go up 25% that barely makes a dent. You won't see the people who are actually suffering from this being tourists.

                            Poor person gets brainwashed, coerced and joins military to earn money.

                            "Haha, orc!!! They all deserve to die a pigs death!!"

                              Had my father been drafted for 'nam his plan was to use his rifle to kill as many officers as possible before himself, rather than fight for the US in that war. I had the same plan in the unlikely event I was drafted for something, too

                              Maybe the Russians could have a backbone like that, yeah? They're being given tools of war and willingly go off to die without a fight? Actually pathetic, and not worth sympathy

                                The fucking Muscovites can continue to fertilize the earth. The loss of troops and material means nothing to the Russians. The asswipes will continue to use mass assaults until the soldiers or the public revolts. Until then, Fuck Russia and US Reichwingers.

                                  Not particularly, the problem is that Russia is stupid and would rather try to annex Ukraine rather than invest time and resources into the development of Siberia. Also they don't want to actually improve things just make them worse.

                                    That's kind of what happens when your government and economy functions off of corruption.

                                        Ukraine has lots of valuable natural resources, but Russia has much more of everything. The biggest reason for the invasion is most likely that Putin could not let a "brother nation" prosper and drift towards Europe and being a functioning democracy.

                                        Russia's population might get wild ideas if they saw that their Ukrainian cousins' standard of living starts to rise rapidly while they have to endure living under a fascist dictator. And substandard and underdeveloped infrastructure, due to the rampant corruption and a government who doesn't give a shit about the areas outside the larger cities.
