    Well lets see, 0 deaths for the west, minor investment compared to running an actual war…

    Many thousands of western mercenaries have died in Ukraine last I checked, and European economies are in a tailspin right now. IMF just cut the forecast for Germany again https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/imf-cuts-forecasts-german-economy-this-year-next-2024-10-22/

    Meanwhile, Russian economy is growing faster than ever, and the World Bank has now reclassified Russia as a high income country as well https://www.worldbank.org/en/about/leadership/directors/eds23/brief/russia-was-classified-as-high-income-country

    The U.S. estimates that Russia has suffered 115,000 deaths and 500,000 injuries in the war.

    Anybody who accepts these numbers uncritically is incredibly gullible. The only western numbers that had any actual methodology came from mediazona which managed to account for something like 40k casualties. Given that Russia has a population of 144 million, I’ll let you do the math on that.

    Russia’s losses in Ukraine are greater than all of its casualties since World War II combined. The war has also set back Russia’s military modernization efforts by nearly two decades.

    😂

    Russia has lost more than 8,000 armored vehicles, including 2,700 tanks. Ukraine has lost nearly 3,000 armored vehicles, including 740 tanks.

    😂

    I love how you just guzzle propaganda completely uncritically. If Russia lost that many vehicles then the war would’ve been over a long time ago. Nobody with even a minimally functioning brain could believe this.

    Ukraine is not in the west. So… If it’s Russia Vs. West, they’re losing really badly.

    Ukraine is very obviously a western proxy.

    I’ll just leave you with an explanation of how the war is going from somebody with an actual clue on the subject, happy coping

        Do explain why you wouldn’t click a link from The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) which is the world’s oldest and the UK’s leading defence and security think tank.
