death toll:
-civilians – 1,232 killed, 1,935 wounded – reported by UN
-civilians – 6,378–6,705+ killed – reported by Ukraine
-ukraine army – 2,000–4,000 killed
-russian army – 7,000–15,000 killed
-OK – we have now seen the russian forces being turned back by the ukrainians
-we are seeing the ukrainians beat the russians in this war
-we are seeing ukrainians taking back areas that were held by the russians
-there have been peace talks where the russians have said they will pull back from kyiv and only focus on the southern and eastern campaigns – but many say this is a stall tactic to regroup
-russia now says everyone has to pay in rubles for their oil – which can cripple countries like germany – so dependent on russian oil – why are they so dependent?
-BUT – here is the real problem – the russians always lose at first – and they lose some more – and they lose 1000s of soldiers – but they keep coming back and they continue to level cities with bomb after bomb – just like they did in the Chechen wars – took them years but they eventually got what they wanted
-ALSO – the people of russia are now coming around to Putin – they believe it is them against the world – the story is being crafted by the russian media and intellectuals – the “on-going fight against the west”
-this war is far from over
