The YouTube channel TL;DR News quotes a Ukrainian estimate that Russia has already suffered 11,000 deaths (not casualties—deaths) in thirteen days. If that figure is to be trusted (and, granted, that's a big if) that means Russia has already sustained nearly one fifth of the deaths the US suffered in the entire Vietnam War (usually quoted as some 58,000). Ukraine is a Russian meat grinder, a veritable kovbasa factory, and this is yet another example of Russian inefficiency in war (think about Russia's actions against its own Chechens).
Mr. Putin, how many young lives will you waste in pursuit of your fantasy?
