That reminds me, I need to update The Deadpool ...

Putin’s losses in Ukraine ‘top 300,000’ says UK in latest figures (The Independent UK)

That 300K figure includes dead and wounded, but doesn't include deserters, which number in the tens of thousands.

Elsewhere (but not in that article specifically), I saw estimates of Ukrainian casualties, which are around 170K.

That really isn't good. Ukraine needs to sustain somewhere between a 2:1 and a 3:1 ratio of kills in order to outlast PooTin's huge-ass reserves of meat.

Then there's the prospect of RuZZia hiring up to 100K foreign mercenaries from Cuba, North Korea, and Africa. That's also going to put pressure on Ukraine's manpower.

And remember, unlike RuZZia, Ukraine isn't allowed to have foreign boots on the ground (other than individual volunteers, which haven't gone well past 10K).

The only way Ukraine can win is by a collapse in the RuZZian economy and a subsequent collapse in the RuZZian political system, which is still possible IF Ukraine can hold out for another few years.
