56,000 of their best (career) soldiers killed accounting for one third of their regular force. Dozens of high ranking decision makers killed. Virtually their entire special forces killed. Couple of thousand of their best tanks destroyed. Thousands and thousands of armoured and light skinned vehicles, gone. Fuck sake, they've lost hundreds of aircraft to a country that only has a dozen fighter jets.

And now they're sending in 300,000 conscripts who will be poorly equipped, poorly trained, unfit, unwilling and ultimately unable to accomplish anything more than what the professionals have managed.

Meanwhile Ukrainian troops continue to be trained by Western forces and NATO has practically opened its storehousesl. Even the out of date stuff is more advanced than Russian kit, we give it all to Ukraine and replenish our own arsenals with even newer kit.

It'll be a bloodbath.

On his way down, Putin is going to hurt as many people as he can.
