  Million dead. Irreplaceable Soviet tech destroyed by the dozens to the tune of billions.

  It’s high time zelaney took down Kursk bridge or even took a pot shot at the kremlin. After all, Russia took out Ukraine’s main military HQ at the outset of the war. Turnabout is fair play

    Minor correction, it’s a million casualties on the Russian side. Dead number is probably around 300k.

    But seriously, imagine going from the number 2 world power to a paper tiger that relies on old stock because they don’t have the manufacturing capabilities to mass produce new equipment. They can barely keep the old shit running.

      Good correction thank you.

      Let’s also not forget they’re getting drained of by China who is getting their petrol so cheap they’re selling it to other countries for a profit.

    I mean, its a war. Nobody is playing “fair” and you’re crazy if you think they ever were.

    But it’s crazy to fixate on Russian losses and ignore the devastation rained on Ukrainian territory. Or the enormous debts Zelensky has had to assume in order to continue importing new munitions and mercenaries to fight. We’ve already seen bombings inside Moscow and assassination attempts (more than a few successful even) against Russian military and state security leadership.

    But that’s not budging the front lines. Neither is it curbing the continuous barrage of artillery and Russian-based retaliatory drone attacks.

    This is just the Iraq-Iran War on steroids. Two countries absolutely butchering their youth in a vainglorious attempt to claim hegemony over a minefield.

      The war stops when Russia, imperialist aggressor, stops.

      This is such a gross misinterpretation of my comment and my intent. I’m not really sure why you feel the need to grind this ax but there is no way what I said is actually the cause. My heart goes out to Ukrainian people, but my comment was intended to shit on Russia and talk about how sad it is that a country has become a rogue state with a horrible leader and a population that is not willing to say “no.”

      I can be sad for both countries. Ukraine is obviously the victim here. The Ukrainian people are amazing and have their own rich history and culture as well that deserves to be preserved. They do not deserve any of this. But just because I was talking about the impact on Russia does not mean I don’t care about Ukraine. And fuck you for implying otherwise.

      If you were to apply this same logic during various points during the world wars, you’d have been calling for the allies to surrender.

      What the fuck are you even talking about?

      There are no “two countries butchering”. There is no symmetry.

      There is a bandit state which invaded their neighbour (like many other neighbours they invaded before) and are murdering civilians, commiting war crimes and kidnapping children.

    My idea was to show that because said Russian soldier probably played Black Ops 2 (or even the 2023 Modern Warfare III) and saw a Swarm scorestreak on that game, he’d have instant flashbacks triggered by seeing the drone swarm lol
